Epic Games, the maker of the third-person shooter game Fortnite, is being sued by parents who claim the game is as addictive and harmful as cocaine.It's easier, and potentially more financially rewarding, to blame a third party because parenting is too hard.
The Montreal-based law firm Calex Legal is representing parents of 10- and 15-year-old gamers. The parents allege the Fortnite makers did not warn players of the addictive nature of the game.
According to an article in USA Today, the legal action claims that when engaged in playing the game, the brain's pleasure center releases dopamine which creates addiction. It also claims psychologists and statisticians helped design the game over a four year period to "develop the most addictive game possible."
"Gaming Disorder" became a recognized health condition last year by the World Health Organization. It is "characterized by impaired control over gaming, increasing priority given to gaming over other activities to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other interests and daily activities, and continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences."
Epic games has 30 days to respond to the legal action.

Schumer Drips with sanctimony.
...Says the...Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated President Trump’s tweets about Democratic congresswomen "drip with racism."

Schumer got THOUSANDS in donations from Jeff Epstein. It's "all about the Benjamins", right Chucky?
"Anything for money" Clucky
Time to check the flight manifests for Epstein island and see if Chucky traveled there. Why not. Schumer would be demanding the same if it were any other person.Sen. Chuck Schumer — who called on Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta to resign and said President Trump should “answer” for his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein — accepted thousands of dollars in donations from the alleged pedophile throughout the 1990s, The Post has learned.
Federal Election Commission records show that Schumer received seven $1,000 donations from Epstein between 1992 and 1997, first as a US congressman from New York and then when he was vying to be the state’s senator in 1998, an election he won.
Epstein... also gave $10,000 to Victory in New York, a joint fundraising committee established by Schumer and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Epstein gave an additional $5,000 to Win New York, a Schumer-associated joint committee that benefited the Liberal Party of New York state.

That means Schumer and Schumer-linked entities received a combined $22,000.
