Ban Fortnite, Says Prince Harry

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, is calling for the ban of popular battle royale game 'Fortnite.' The prominent member of the British royal family visited a YMCA in West London and spoke to mental health experts about addictive games and social media, saying that the latter is more addictive than drugs or alcohol. From a report: '[Fortnite] shouldn't be allowed,' he said. 'Where is the benefit of having it in your household? It's created to addict, an addiction to keep you in front of a computer for as long as possible. It's so irresponsible. It's like waiting for the damage to be done and kids turning up on your doorsteps and families being broken down.' He also suggested that social media is 'more addictive than alcohol and drugs.'
