NCsoft Sued For Making Lineage II 'Too Addictive' 360

An anonymous reader writes "South Korean MMO game publisher NCsoft is finding itself facing another lawsuit, this time for making games that are 'too addictive.' US Lineage II player Craig Smallwood is suing the publisher for $3 million because he found himself playing Lineage II for 20,000 hours over a period of 5 years. At times, his average play session would persist for over 11 hours, crippling his life and ability to function. A federal judge is allowing the court case to go forward (PDF), stating that the plaintiff has a claim for negligence and gross negligence against the publisher."

The average age of Senators in the 109th. Congress is 60.4 years, the oldest in history I believe also we need to put term limits on the senate and house. these people have been ruling the country for more then there fair share of time. we need to get some younger people in office who have been living in real society rather then the ones who have living in the world called Washington D.C. .... our founding fathers didn't have degrees in politics and neither should the 110th congress they should be problems solvers from various jobs around the country. We need people who will listen the the voices the nation the "people" and not the ones looking to get some extra pork on the side. WE THE PEOPLE RULE THIS LAND NOT THE GOVERMENT AND WE NEED TO REMIND WASHINGTON THAT.
