Interesting to see how this guy will argue in court that the game CAUSED his epilepsy- as someone else commented it was rather lucky for all concerned that he had a seizure in his home rather than at the controls of an F18.
I'm not sure how the tort of negligence is applied/is applicable in the USA, but he wouldn't get far in most places in the world. There would be a lot of interest in his medical history, especially if he had been using stimulants for long range missions , as well as illicit drug use, head injuries, etc. He may be making a very brave call to take this through the courts, he may be heading for a whole new world of problems.
On the other hand, there is very little detail given in this article... and the devil is always in the detail.
