    its like saying Stargate SG1 has ruined my life because i watch it to much i mean serisouly get a life i don't think the judge will even consider his case he brought it on himself as for his pyscological disorders or whatever thats what you get for having a addiction to somthing its like have a addiction for cokecaine your going to get the major disadvatnages for that. I know it may seem werid to compare gaming for drugs but........yeah well basicly this guy brought it on himself and decided not to get a life or not to play gaming and have a life

    This guy's a bigger idiot than that guy who kept suing Rockstar Games over the GTA series (Jack Thompson, I think).
    Video games cannot cause various conditions. Look, I have no idea what causes the various learning disabilities (if I did, then I would know how I wound up with Asperger's Syndrome), but I can say for certainty that video games is not one of them. If anything, video games can help improve those with said disabilities.
    Take me for example. Starting me off on video games @ age 6 was a smart call by my Mom because I had a poor hand-eye coordination. That improved after awhile; the various RPG's allowed me to develop strategies to beat said games, which carried over to reality in the sense that I use strategies for everyday problems and long term goals.

    Long story short: video games don't cause disabilities, they can help treat those who already had those disabilities.

    Well, I condemn that guy... but at least, at the same time, that guy also got more exposure to the wider gaming communities across the world...

    Pathetic

    No wonder people think they can sue game companies for whatever they want, seriously people should read ToS agreements and other agreements. This stuff really irks me, especially when it comes down to the client's fault yet they aren't adult enough to admit it

    Ugh, where is this world going to. Sadly this guy is just cashing in on what every other person seems to be doing today. Even in the news we can see people suing cigarette companies and WINNING for damages done by the product. For the record, I'm a former smoker and take full responsibility for anything done to myself, but HELLO, duh, yeah, like I so totally didn't know sucking smoke into my lungs from a mish-mosh of several chemicals could have had any effect on my health (sarcasm implied).

    Same with this guy trying to sue. I mean, wow, maybe he read the articles of the people who went postal over Halo, or starved themselves to death playing WoW and/or Everquest, and thought he could cash in. What he's admitting to is "I so totally gave in to being a massive gaming-addict, with no self responsibility whatsoever, and to continue the same pattern of a total lack of self responsibility, I now expect you to not just furnish my games, but also pay my bills".

    But hey, why not, we are after all living in a society where prison inmates are living it up in luxury resorts known as "prison" while the rest of us hard-working stiffs who keep the wheels greased are losing our houses and ending up on the streets... everything else is backwards... why not gaming-related lawsuits, heh.

    PS - The only thing I could possibly AGREE on suing said gaming companies for, is not having enough administrators in the multiplayer communities of games to keep control of trolls, haters, griefers, and people who get a rush/high off of badmouthing anybody they come across and wanting to speak like their vocabulary only contains explicit three and four letter words. As it has been seen in the past, that some situations can *start* in an online community/game and finally boil over into real-life due to the fact there's nobody to nip it in the bud before it escalates out of control.
