In F.N. v. Epic Games Canada, the Superior Court
of Quebec authorized a class action against the companies who were
responsible for the development and marketing of the video game
Fortnite (the “Defendants”). The class action was
authorized on behalf of:
a) all individuals in Quebec who, since September 1, 2017, have
developed an addiction, namely a loss of control over or
prioritization of gambling, which has had harmful effects on their
personal, family, social, educational, professional or other
important areas of their lives (“Group 1”);
and
b) all individuals in Quebec who made in-game purchases using
Fortnite's V-BUCKS virtual currency while they were minors
(“Group 2”).
