You know this much, most divorces occur due to money difficulties, an affair or just not getting along.

But add this to the mix!  According to lawyers, around 5% of divorces so far this year can be blamed to the video game, Fortnite. An analysis of the 4,665 British divorces in 2018 found that 200 of them specifically blamed the multi-player survival game as the reason for their divorce.

Fortnite is by far the most popular video game with kids and adults today.  Because it isn’t a game with a timer and multiple people can play, it keeps participants locked in for hours at a time. Fortnite is not alone in its time and attention consumption. Video game addiction has become so rampant worldwide that the United Nations health agency has now listed compulsively playing video games as a mental health condition.
