Man Dies After 49 Hours of Computer Games

The article says it was Starcraft. I couldn't imagine getting to the point where I was addicted to gaming so much that this would happen.
 
StarCraft is extremely popular in South Korea and is considered a sport. Some professional gamers there will play up to 70 games a day to practice before a big match. If you don't know much about StarCraft an average game last around 10-30 minutes.

Above is a picture of thousands of StarCraft fans watching a major match take place.

You have to read the article and read between the lines carefully:

He didn't die because of the game, he merely collapsed because of the game. They took him to the hospital, and upon finding out they don't supply a computer preloaded with Starcraft, he had a heart attack...
 
There have been a few news articles I've read over the last year that are just sad like this one.

There was one where two parents were employee'd as farmers for an MMORPG and neglected there child to the point of death. A few years ago a boy killed his friend after he sold his online property he had lent him. If you do a google search and type "Killed over video game" you will find a lot of hits.
 
i dont get it..i cant even imagine playing wow without eatting something. Starving would be the leats of my problems from wow hehe
