Unfortunately the more I read the less this seems like a long overdue accounting of the video game industry's hubris and the more it seems like someone with looking for someone to blame for their failson. These companies have literally hired psychologists to come up with ways to more effectively manipulate their players into buying their digital bullshit, and surprise surprise many of the things those psychologists have come up with are basically unregulated gambling.

I wonder if this is a false flag?

Well, you can sue someone for anything, you just can't win for anything. For instance, those developers could countersue because the negligence and bad parenting of those parents materially damaged the reputation of those companies.
