Deaths Caused by Video Games

Believe it or not, but video games have essentially killed individuals. Some games are held responsible for physically killing people today and also some games have essentially driven individuals to their deaths (I know crazy right?). There are really several reported situations of death brought on by video games just about every year nevertheless only some make it on the news and turn into well known. These four examples are just couple of of the a large number of circumstances of death induced by video games but these are the most well-known so take every one particular into consideration so you won't be the next person on this list!


Death From Dance Dance Revolution


The initially death I'll commence with is a man who physically died from playing Dance Dance Revolution, you know the popular dancing game by Konami. He bought Dance Dance Revolution on the Playstation and began to play in his apartment which regrettably he was alone that day. As numerous of you know dance dance revolution has a lot of flashing lights and with the dancing can get your heart and blood pumping which is why they have those warning ahead of the game begins. Of course no one particular truly saw what occurred but an inference led investigators to believe that he played the game and got a seizure from the dancing and flashing lights which brought on him to suffocate on his tongue and died. Of course the household tried to sue Konami for millions of dollars, but there wasn't any actual case given that the warning clearly states the warning of seizures and other wellness troubles when playing the game. Now we know why those warnings are on those games and must really study them prior to playing.


Death From Globe of Warcraft


I think we all knew it was bound to take place that World of Warcraft would soon drive somebody to their death somehow. The extremely addicting game can drive a person mad and they have even considered opening a rehab specifically for Globe of Warcraft addicts to get off that wowcrack (crazy proper?). This case is about a 13 year old boy who was driven to death by Planet of Warcraft MMOPRG Globe of Warcraft his parents took away the game and he left a note stating "I am going away to be with the heroes of Azeroth." He then committed suicide, the lead to of death was not officially released sorry guys I wanted to know too. Blizzard has now officially initiated education for staff when they get suicide customers by way of customer help (over 1000 instances per month!) and have been instructed to contact the authorities when many people threaten to commit suicide due to complications with the game. The main purpose why these persons threaten blizzard with suicide is when they can't unban their accounts (I believed it would perform =x). I have contacted Blizzard for an opinion and the farthest I got to was a senior consumer analyst he told me that people today mainly send suicide threats by way of e mail to when they are unable to get their account back. Keep in mind guys it's just a game if you shed your precious gnome do not jump! go choose up a nice FPS and live life =)


Death From Starcraft


Properly I guess Blizzard tends to make some kickass games, so fine that they result in individuals to die from playing! This third death is about a Korean man who died from heart failure just after playing Starcraft for more than 70 hours that is correct three days practically. Fundamentally this guy went to a 24/7 Pc cafe (pretty famous in Korea) and if you haven't noticed Korea is like the capital of Starcraft. He began to play Starcraft non-stop and only stopped to take naps, use the restroom and eat. Right after about two days (from reports) his buddy came considering he was worried because he had lost his job due to his non-cease Starcraft marathon, but ignored him. On around his third day at the Computer cafe an employee identified him passed out where he was taken to the hospital only to die on the way from heart failure and lack of nutrition. This death clearly shows how an addiction can go quite far with a game, but I have to admit Starcraft is addicting. So subsequent time you do a gaming marathon make confident you get appropriate sleep and excellent nutrition!


Death From Everquest


A man named Hudson Wooley lost it all just after playing the very widely used (even before WOW) MMOPRG Everquest for several hours a day. Wooley was having difficult issues that induced him to become depressed and despite the fact that the loved ones blames Everquest for leading to his suicide people today think that it was his escape from reality, basically what alcoholics do except with elves and dwarfs. Right after losing his job and ignoring associates and loved ones, they began to worry for him. After some time Wooley shot himself with a gun (spot not talked about) not mainly because of Everquest but from his issues, his suicide was his escape from reality just as many others escape playing MMOPRG's such as Everquest, Warhammer, Planet of Warcraft, etc. Bear in mind if you are having concerns just how you shouldn't drown them away in alcohol don't ignore them by performing that raid on WOW rather seek help!
