Online Gamer Dies After 3 Days Non Stop Playing

A man in China has collapsed and died after a supposed 3-day non-stop playing marathon. He died while playing an online game inside an Internet Cafe.

As per a post from Weird Asia News, “According to preliminary findings, the length of time this man spent online might have triggered heart problems,” the paper quoted a local hospital emergency medic in the city of Zhongshan as saying.”

The man is 30 years old.

“China’s government has taken steps to combat the online problem by offering warnings within the games as well as asking online gaming sites to deduct points from gamers who play too long.”, the report concluded.

Word of advice. Take it easy. Too much of anything is bad for your health.

Ingatz,

GM T

    Oh please, he didn’t die of gaming. He died of over exhaustion. Anyone who stays up 3 days straight for anything will feel that. This is what gives games a bad image.

    Sometimes people forget that some people actually commit suicide by proxy. I wouldn’t blame the game, I’d blame the guy’s family. Don’t you think it’s weird that the families of the guys who died playing several days straight never bothered to look for them?

    And one more thing, did anybody notice that all those who died playing were male? Does anybody wonder what level of desperation would drive a guy to commit suicide by gaming?

    I heard about this from Snopes. I find it amazing at the commitment at some people.

    Why is everyone in such a hurry to level? This guy died of two things, impatience and stupidity. He could’ve leisurely accomplished what he wanted to do in a few weeks without pressure. Instead, he’s playing in that Big Internet Cafe In The Sky, where there is NO access to his game account in China.

    Wala kang mabibiling RO load sa langit.

    Sad part is this isn’t the only case of real death in an MMORPG. I think GM T has another article about negligent parents and I have read about a similar case of a Korean kid playing himself to death.

    Playing himself to death… Sounds naughty… :D

    I’ve something like this happened in Korean as well. Mahirap, di ko kaya yun. 72 hours? 48 hours kaya ko dati pero ngayon malabo na. Matakaw na ako sa tulog. :)

    Hi to Wudie and Blue! ;)

    Poor guy. Maybe he has real life frustrations that he diverted to gaming.
