Fortnite enters the crosshairs yet again as people become concerned about how addictive it is.
Lorrine Marer, a behavioral specialist, is suggesting that Fortnite is not just the world's most popular game but is basically heroin for kids.
“This game is like heroin,” said Marer. "Once you are hooked, it’s hard to get unhooked."
Marer's outspoken comments regarding the impact of Fortnite and how it is corrupting society's youths come as part of a large report published by Bloomberg that argues that Fortnite addiction is spiraling out of control. One mother, Debbie Vitany, even reports that her son plays the game for 12 hours a day and that his parents have not been able to find a way to get his life back together. She even goes so far as to say that she has "never seen a game that has such control over kids’ minds.”
