Tragic.

Tragic.

Wow. This โš ๏ธ (link now 404 ๐Ÿ˜• - March/24) story is sad in so many ways (and isnโ€™t isolated (link now 404 ๐Ÿ˜• - March/24) either). (new link mentions both deaths. updated 2024) In a nutshell a girl died from playing World of Warcraft without rest for several days. Eventually her body simply collapsed from exhaustion. Iโ€™m a gamer and Iโ€™ve been kept up for hours going for โ€˜one more levelโ€™ or โ€˜playing one more lifeโ€™ but Cโ€™MON dying from fatigue! Where the hell are this girlโ€™s parents? Iโ€™m amazed that Blizzard the makers of the game have no mention (that I could find) of this anywhere on their site. So much for corporate responsibility. Sigh. I mean, at least issue a warning of so sort...
