In that news article, a man is filing a lawsuit against a gaming company for not warning him that the game could be addictive . .

Personally, I think he is just trying to make some easy money. But this brings up a bit of a legal question.

During the 1980's, game makers put warnings in the game manuals to warn people with epilepsy that seizures could occur due to flashing lights and patterns on the screen. Several lawsuits were filed against game makers, and it even continues today.

So, the question is, as silly as it seems: Does the man in the news article above have a legal right for compensation?
