Judge Rejects Forced Arbitration in Video Game Addiction Lawsuits

Original: Judge Rejects Forced Arbitration for Video Game Addiction Lawsuits

A judge has rejected attempts to force video game addiction lawsuits into private arbitration, allowing the cases to proceed in court. The ruling means plaintiffs claiming that game developers designed games to be compulsively addictive can pursue their claims through the public legal system rather than arbitration. The decision could pave the way for more such suits to move forward against major gaming companies.

Why now: A court ruling cleared the way for video game addiction lawsuits to proceed publicly rather than in arbitration.
