I remember another story from a few years ago where a couple had three kids, the youngest of whom had died from malnutrition while the parents played WoW all day. The house was stocked with food, but the parents weren't taking breaks to fix it for the kids or something like that and they were all too young to feed themselves.

the columnist needs to cite his sources cuz the guy dropping dead after 50 hours of starcraft was from YEARS ago, nowhere close to "recent." It wasn't just cuz he played for 50 hours, it was more the fact that he had an existing heart condition, which was exacerbated by staring at a monitor and eating sodium-rich cup ramen for the entirety of those sleepless 50 hours.

Wow..................seriously that is so messed up, it's almost as bad as the crazy christians I read about in the paper today who let their baby starve to death because it didn't say 'amen' before eating...

This world makes me sick sometimes (often)

WTF? Love for a game is understanble for the "gamers" but how the fuck can pass the love to a own child?????


Here's what I think - A real baby you would care for due to more abstract human-nature feelings - love, parental instinct, etc. The in-game baby, on the other hand, was specifically designed to deliver an experience to grasp the user and make them addicted through tiny rewards (assuming that it's something like WoW). If they did something to care for the virtual baby, they would get some kind of positive feedback like "YAY +50 EXP" wheras a real-life baby dosen't really seem any different before or after you give them a bottle of formula. So, it could just be that the parents are stupid and didn't realize what they had to do to take care of a child without getting positive feedback. Or, it could be that the game was so well-designed and their sense of human emotion was so stifled that the desire for advancement in-game outweighed instinctual attachment to their daughter.

This kind of makes me think of this games conference presentation I watched earlier today. While the Korea incident is an instance of game design possibly hurting people (though obviously the real blame lies with the parents), that presentation tried to list ways game design could help people become better. Maybe if there was a more quantifiable measurement of their real life child's growth they would have taken better care of her. Experience points for changing the diaper, achievements on their birthdays, etc... I realize how ridiculous and pathetic that sounds, but in this specific instance it would have probably made them better parents.

A 28-year-old man dropped dead recently after playing his favorite game Starcraft for 50 hours non-stop without eating or drinking.


wasn't that like 8 years ago? or is this a common occurrence?

This is so true, but seriously, WTF? I get played a video game for a couple of hours, but not 12 hours straight leaving your baby at home... I've gone two days straight playing games, but I would like eat and drink water in between. I did this when I Was trying to see how fast I can beat FFX. I did it in 68hrs T_T.

You have to agree OP was somewhat misleading when he first stated the case that looked just simply added as an after-thought instead of not writing about meat of the article at all.

indeed. perhaps the quote i took is taken out of context. i just wanted to emphasise the excessive nature of gaming and the detrimental implications involved.

both are terrible incidents

OMFG this is so sad for the baby! It makes me super angry against the parents. They should go to hell. :'(
