No matter how much time you’ve spent with Fallout 4 since it launched last month, it probably hasn’t had as big of an impact on your life as it has one gamer’s from Krasnoyarsk, Russia. According to a report from RT, the 28-year-old man is suing Bethesda, the developer of the game, for 500,000 roubles ($7,000) after losing his job and his wife.
He says that he didn’t know the game would be “so addictive.”
Apparently, after seeing an advertisement for the game, the man decided to download it and spend a few hours playing over the next few days. Those days quickly turned into weeks, and after missing several days of work, he was fired from his job. His friends stopped hearing from him, his sleeping and eating habits deteriorated and his wife left him.
“If I knew that this game could have become so addictive, I would have become a lot more wary of it. I would not have bought it, or I would have left it until I was on holiday or until the New Year holidays,” the man said in a statement.
Although there have been similar cases around the world in the past, this is a first for Russia, so the law firm representing the Fallout 4 addict is going to “see how far we can go regarding this case.”

How can someone get addicted to such a shitty game?

How can someone believe such a shitty meme?

>Wife leaves him for playing a game.
She was going to leave him anyways, she was just looking for an excuse
>>320992928
it sounds like she was already halfway out the door.
He got the game, started playing a lot, she leaves him and then he gets depressed and never stops playing.
cheeky cunt
>>320992132
It's his fault for having shit enough taste to get "addicted" to Fallout 4.

>She was going to leave him anyways, she was just looking for an excuse
I'd say this would create a good reason on its own. If he gets this addicted to vidya, imagine the damage he'd do getting addicted to gambling.
>>320992417
Because Russians get addicted to the dumbest shit on earth.
>>320992132
I'm amazed he bothered to play it that long. Shit got boring after a couple hours.
>>320992132
Russians have shit taste in games
>>320992928
You should remove yourself from existence
I finished the main storyline and have utterly no interest in rerolling a new character.
As casualised as Skyrim was I still managed to play it over and over.
>>320993661
Doesn't one injection of that shit just completely fucks your shit up?
>>320995265
I wouldn't doubt it, the stuff is like mostly acid.
>>320992132
>only seven thousand dollars
he musta had a shitty job and an ugly wife desu
>>320996085
https://steamdb.info/
That's a lot of money in Russia
>>320996085
Getting 7000 dollars for getting rid of his wife and not having to work for a few months is a pretty sweet deal.
>>320993661
The fuck happened there?
>>320992132
If this fucker wins, it's a win for all of us
IMAGINE: not having to go to work because your days are full of gaming, and you're living comfortably off of the lawsuits against each developer
Life would be complete

Krokodil, some hardcore flesh-eating (the homemade version, the stuff the swiss and Russian medial professionals use for pain killing don't do this) drug that's pretty much the Russian version of meth.
sounds like a weak willed person who would of gambled his life savings away if budged into a casino
>>320993661
>>320992132
Obviously a /v/ user.
>wife
Maaaaybe not then..
>>320992132
Weeding out the idiots.
Nothing to see here folks.
>wife and job
>ONLY sues for 7000 us dollarydoos
hoooly shit, reminds me of that guy who auctioned off his entire life and evrything he owned and made like 300 bucks
>>320992132
Isn't this a recycled story? I swear I've read the same thing only with the word 'Skyrim' instead of 'Fallout 4'.
>>320992132
Maybe she left him because he has such shit taste in games
>>320992132
Heavy weapons guy had a wife?
Damn /v/. You really need to step it up.
>>320992132
Russia's just weird like that. I still remember the one story of that Russian kid who an heroed because his favorite Naruto character, Itachi, died.
What made this especially pointless was that shortly after, a shitload of characters including Itachi had been brought back from the dead.
>>320992132
damn his wife left after only two weeks? What a slut.
>>321002418
Russia's dollar is shit, you'd be surprised how much you'd get from 7000 american
>tfw canadian
Our dollar, it means nothing
wow
it's not even a good game
>>320992132
Can someone tell me what there is to do in Fallout 4 that makes people find this much time to spend on it?
No really, I've never played it, but how can a single player game have enough content for non-stop play for weeks.
>>321003610
its got a lot of content.
>>321003610
People are dumb and don't understand what "never ending quests" actually mean
Todd should just give the money to him, since he's going to get it all back in a second as soon as they release DLC content.
>>320993661
I was half expecting an image of Dota 2 or CS:GO.
I am currently almost forcing myself to play the game because I have nothing else to play.
Feels like a fucking chore.
Only fun I have is upgrading my weapons, but even though there are like 8 mods for every slot, there's literally no reason to install any other than the one at the bottom of the list.
>>320998212
it actually causes gang green rather than flesh eating.
>>321003861
Right? 7000 dollarydoos is fucking nothing in bethesdabucksunfortunately
>>320997693
It's a cheap homemade Russian drug that's super addictive and literally eats the flesh off your bones.
It caused a big scare here among heroine users in the US a couple years ago because dealers were selling it to people and lying to them telling them it was heroine. Then suddenly they'd notice their flesh was deteriorating down to the bone one day.

>Gamer sues Bethesda after losing his wife and job to ‘Fallout 4’ addiction

WEW

Typical americans, afraid of becoming based skeletons.

Why did you feel the need to shitpost?
>>320992928
/v/ loves to be contrarian
>>321004853
Bored I guess?
>>320992132
Imagine if this happened to a landwhale female in America.
She'd win so fast fucking Todd would have to diarrhea money out of his ass.
>>320993661
Though it was a sandwich from the thumbnail 2bh.
>>321005512
I'm an american female
Can I sue on grounds that Bethesda raped my eyes? Cause i'll totally do it.
>>321005740
Do it, it's your money to waste.
>>321005740
P E N N S Y L V A N I A
Only someone dumb enough to lose control of their lives to a video game would be dumb enough to try and sue the developers for their own lack of responsibility. We've got ourselves a grade A idiot here.
>>320992132
I fucking wish I was this guy.
I tried so fucking hard to get hooked on FO 4. I was hoping for something to eat up all my time.
>>320992417
Weak-minded.
>>321004050
Well "Flesh-eating" is figurative, but yeah. Missing the vein during injection would cause death of the surrounding flesh, resulting in gangrene.
>Suing people
Why are Americans so dead set on fucking people out of their money?
>>321007965
It is a Russian anon, the exact opposite of an American.
>>321007965
>from Krasnoyarsk, Russia
Come on Ryoko step it up
>>321008070
There's a certain charm to the Russian lawyers going "*shrug* Lets just see how far it will go"
