Man Became ‘Addicted’ To Video Game, Suit Says
A lawsuit has been filed against South Korean game developer NCSoft Corp. by a Hawaii man who claims he became “addicted” to one of the company’s video games. The man claims in his lawsuit that he spent 20,000 hours over five years playing the game “Lineage II” and “continues to this day to have a ‘compulsive urge and need’ to play the game.” He also claims he can no longer “function independently in usual daily activities” due to his addiction. The man is seeking unspecified damages.
