Fortnite is causing a whole mess of divorces
- 6 years ago
UNITED KINGDOM — It looks like the massively popular game Fortnite is causing a spike in divorces.
According to Divorce Online, the online game has been named in over 200 divorce cases in the U.K. alone, CNN reports.
According to the site, that's around 5 percent of the 4,665 divorces filed since the start of the year.
But the thing is, Fortnite is widely popular all over the world, so the number of divorces caused by the game could actually be much higher.
In June, the WHO listed gaming addiction in general as a potentially harmful tech-related behavior.
