The news as it trends

A Maine mother has filed a federal lawsuit against the makers of Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite, claiming the games are intentionally designed to be addictive for children.

Casey Henderson says her 9-year-old developed severe withdrawal symptoms, rage, and social isolation due to excessive gaming.

The lawsuit accuses Microsoft, Epic Games, and Roblox Corporation of embedding psychological triggers and failing to implement proper safety controls.

Her attorney argues the companies profit from keeping kids hooked, calling it a “billion-dollar industry with a capital B.”

Henderson is seeking over $75,000 in damages and hopes to force changes in how these games are marketed and regulated.

The case has reignited debate over digital addiction and child safety in gaming.
