Youyan Zaobao: Canadian “bear parents” sued “Fortnite”, calling it electronic heroin; the movie “Joker 2” released the first stills

Good morning, fellow community members, the following is the Morning Post of Travel Research brought by the interns:

1. Beginning in 2019, some parents in Canada tried to take Epic to court over the “over-addictive nature” of Fortnite. Epic spent 3 years explaining to the court that this lawsuit was nonsense, but in the end it backfired. Recently, a judge of the Superior Court of Quebec in Canada approved the establishment of this lawsuit, which will be formally heard in court later.

Parents said that games represented by “Fortress Night” are “destructive” to children’s brains. The game deliberately designed addictive mechanisms to induce children to continue to rely on games. The filing also likens the game to “electronic heroin.”

An Epic spokesperson said in response that it will fight the case in court. All evidence will show that this lawsuit is pointless.

2. The movie “Joker 2” announced the official start of filming and released the first stills. Joaquin Phoenix is ​​back as the Joker, and Lady Gaga is Harley Quinn. The film continues to be directed by Todd Phillips and is expected to be released in North America on October 4, 2024.
