Original: Video Game Addiction Lawsuits Top 100 Cases, No MDL [2026]
Lawsuits alleging video game addiction have surpassed 100 cases in 2026, yet courts have not consolidated them into a multidistrict litigation. The claims, reportedly filed by families blaming game makers for excessive play harms, remain scattered across jurisdictions.

Why now: The number of video game addiction lawsuits has crossed a notable threshold, raising questions about possible consolidation.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 7 snapshots from 11 h ago to 3 h ago.
