Ive seen a lot of stupid lawsuits but this one just is ridiculous .



He reportedly started to miss work, leading to his firing, and then his wife left him. In his lawsuit, which seeks $7,000 from Bethesda Game Studios and a Russian firm, the man claims his nonstop gaming caused his health to deteriorate because he was missing meals and losing sleep.

His lawyer said it's the first case of its kind in Russia.

I mean, I play a lot of Fallout 4.

Somehow I still:
Hang out with friends
Spend time with my girlfriend (even getting her into the series slowly)
Going to work
Going to the gym
Generally managing my time responsibly as an adult

Great game though, it's huge and there's so much to see.

I'm glad I have no significant other or kids or anything of that sort, because all my free time has been spent on this game!

Been playing for hours every day and night since the day after the game was released back in early November.

And I still haven't finished all the main missions let alone the side ones.

What fabulous game this is, well well worth the wait.

What an idiot. The game didn't make him get fired and divorced. It's his fault because he played the game too much.

I really need to play this game. I haven't played Fallout in so long, but hear this game is near perfect and as popular (if not more) than GTA V when it came out. And I remember how much time I invested in that game...

I'm still playing Gears of War and Halo for the XB1, but think I'll pick this up and see what the fuss is about.

Btw, if I get fired and my girl leaves me, I'm suing you guys.

Good to see that his marriage and job are worth only $7,000. . . .
