Craig Smallwood, a Hawaii-resident, is suing NCSoft for making and designing a video game that he claims gave him an addiction that affected his life. During the years of 2004 to 2009, he claims he played more than 20,000 hours of the game Lineage II, and is claiming he is psychologically dependent and addicted to the game.

NCsoft, however, “never gave [Smallwood] any notice or warning of the danger of psychological dependence or addiction from continued play,” according to the case.

Some of Smallwood’s claims were thrown straight out court by a judge, yet didn’t throw out the entire case, and is allowing the claims of negligence, gross negligence, and negligent infliction of emotional distress to continue on for his judgment.
