Russian man sues Bethesda, claiming Fallout 4 cost him his job, health and wife

RT reports that a Russian man is suring publisher Bethesda as he claims he’s now addicted to Fallout 4.

The man is suing Bethesda for 500,000 rubles ($7,030 USD) for failing to be warned that he game would “become so addictive.” He continues on to claim that a three-week Fallout 4 marathon cost him his job, health and wife.

The man says that knowing what he knows now, he would have either waited to the holidays to play the game, or have avoided it entirely.
