Chinese Man, 30, Dies After Three Day Gaming Binge

mclazyj | September 17, 2007 | News | Misc 
A 30 year old Chinese man dies after going on a 3 day gaming binge. But one has to wonder why this happened in a country that has laws against this kind of gaming along with huge advertising for healthy gaming.
The Chinese government has also passed several laws that limit gaming to certain periods of times, along with the closure of many Internet establishments. Why these laws did not stop this man from gaming has not been mentioned, but it deserves to be looked at.

    Um, wow.

    I think the Chinese man wanted suicide. Since, well playing games for 3 days straight is exaggerating.

    I don't think he wanted to kill himself, he was just really addicted.

    This has happened before but its usually in Korea

    Maybe he wanted to commit suicide? Who knows?
