00:00There's a gamer who's suing right now, the makers of Minecraft and Fortnite.
00:05For their video game addiction, a 56 page complete.
00:10Hey.
00:11They're suing him, saying basically that...
00:15Well, they're saying they're describing the business's behavior as deceptive, unfair, immoral, reckless, that after years...
00:20...of playing, his relationship with gaming is compulsive and disordered, and that...
00:25...that he is incapable of restraining his own usage, that when games are taken away from him...
00:30...he exhibits behaviors associated with withdrawal, like anger, destruction of...
00:35...property, compulsive and antisocial behavior, and inability to maintain...
00:40...sleep, it's affected his life and well-being, he's seeking compensation...
00:45...and other damages.
00:47Boom.
00:48I don't necessarily disagree with it.
00:50I do.
00:50That's crazy.
00:52I don't because...
00:55You know, and I equate it to gambling, because everything that...
01:00It's set up to make you that way.
01:04Correct.
01:04Like...
01:05Like...
01:05...everything from...
01:05It's not just about self-control.
01:08Right.
01:08From the noise...
01:10...to the noises a slot machine makes, to, you know, things that games might...
01:15...do to get you to keep playing.
01:17Like, they do this stuff with a purpose.
01:20And their mission is to get you addicted, so you keep playing and spending money with them.
01:25Like, that's what they want to do.
01:26That's what they strive to do.
01:28I'm not necessarily saying that...
01:30...people deserve a whole crap load of money because of it.
01:32I'm just saying, I don't...
01:35...disagree with the fact that these companies do this.
01:39This...
01:40...is what they do.
01:41Yeah.
01:41I'm...
01:42That's what they're doing with...
01:43I need to start playing video games.
01:45...and pretend I'm addicted.
01:46I mean, that's what they're talking about around, like, social media and how...
01:50...you know, kids...
01:52...and it's not just kids.
01:53It's adults, too.
01:54Hard...
01:55...are getting, like, ridiculously obsessed and addicted.
02:00It really is.
02:01I guess my question is, so where's the line when...
02:05...where your, like, accountability comes into play?
02:07Because I can't admit, oh, yeah.
02:10...the phone?
02:10I've been addicted to it.
02:11But then it got to a point where I said, all right.
02:14I didn't think...
02:15...I need to sue Apple and the social media platforms.
02:20...I said, first, I got to do something.
02:23Yeah, yeah.
02:23I got to put this phone.
02:25I got to go throw it in another room and just, you know, stop making excuses on why.
02:30I need the phone all the time.
02:31You're safe because you're speaking very rational about it and because you're not scratching your...
02:35...yourself when you don't have your phone near you.
02:36Oh, I was.
02:37...or getting mad.
02:38What?
02:38Oh, yeah.
02:39Really?
02:39Really?
02:40You know how you get the fake buzz in your pocket?
02:42Yeah.
02:42You know what you feel like and you look in and...
02:45Yeah.
02:46Oh, I was a fiend.
02:48Because it was...
02:50They're like Romero, one of Romero's favorite words is levels and I think...
02:55...that there's levels for people and that there are people who may see...
03:00...seriously and scratching herself.
03:03Stop it!
03:05...waving at Melissa right now.
03:06Oh, my God.
03:06...if we took our phone.
03:07I mean, you can admit it too.
03:09Or the phone, absolutely.
03:10Like, I can admit I...
03:12...like, I am actively trying.
03:15...to do better.
03:17Mm-hmm.
03:17And it is hard.
03:21It is so hard.
03:21But you never thought about suing.
03:24No.
03:24Right?
03:24That's...
03:25That's why I think with this guy or anybody else, at some point, like, come on, y'all.
03:29But you know what?
03:29I think...
03:30I think maybe it's kind of like make...
03:33...maybe to make a point.
03:34I don't know.
03:35...or to bring more attention to it.
03:38I mean, maybe he...
03:40...he's just greedy and trying to get money.
03:42Or maybe he's trying to make...
03:45...a point and just say, look, this is what's happened.
03:49And...
03:50I don't know.
03:50You know what?
03:50If he really cares about, you know, the whole addiction part of it, make it a class act.
03:55...and let everybody else who's also suffering from the same thing get in on it.
04:00Melissa wants that email so bad.
04:02What you doing?
04:03Wait, wait, wait, wait.
04:04Y'all missed it.
04:05What did you say, Pebbles?
04:06You called it what?
04:06Gamatosis.
04:07Gamatosis?
04:07I didn't even hear that part.
04:09That's...
04:10That sounds like something on your body smells bad.
04:11I just can't figure out what part.
04:13You got that gamatosis.
04:15I just can't figure out what happened.
04:16I got that, actually.
04:18I can't figure out where the臣 is just thinking of it to work.
04:20The devil did.
04:21That was funny.
04:23I was so sorry about that and was sort of like what that was happening.
04:25But you were all like, it's on the road, no kind of reverb, you know?
04:31And so much about it.
04:31It was funny.
04:33I am getting up.
04:35Yeah, and I can't...
04:36I'll take it.
04:38I'm feeling bad about it.
04:39It was funny.
04:40I was ready to just stop that.
04:41I enjoyed it.
04:42It was guided.
04:43I was really never really good.
