Man, you guys are pretty harsh and have no compasion. If that person was you, you'd want help too. It's the government that has to intervene when something happens to their citizens, be it people that are poor, sick or w/e. That's why politics need to discuss this. It's also the duty of other people to look after them.At least that's what I believe in. You have no idea how people grow up or in what circumstances they live or how prone they are to addiction. "They have no self-controll, it's their own fault, noone tells them to play" is just the same as "I don't care and I just turn my back to any problems around me".
It is not a problem, candy. Fewer than ten deaths out of millions and millions of gamers in the world is not a problem by any stretch of the imagination. It's called statistics.
There will always be someone at the far end of the bell curve acting like an idiot.

I completely agree with you. Anyways, it's not like restricting time spent on MMOs would change anything. The type of people who play 20+ hours per day are generally anti-social and would just find another indoor activity to do. Have you ever heard of a Hikikomori? Hikikomori is a Japanese term to refer to the phenomenon of reclusive individuals who have chosen to withdraw from social life, often seeking extreme degrees of isolation and confinement due to various personal and social factors in their lives. These people don't play MMOs because they're completely addicted to the game. They sit there and play because they have a psychological problem that makes them afraid of society. What else is there to do when you rarely go outside?
Havent you guys noticed how people lose families cause they cant stop playing video games. Or even how people go out and start killing these Idiologicaly Dissociative Incepted outreach Tutee or as i call them IDIOT have a serious problem and we needt o help them with it.
Pk them as much as you can or steal their kills and make them quit so that finaly they can get their life back on the right track!
*Disclaimer* The words i used to maek up the word IDIOT werent really made to make sense and is just used for the joke that i typed out. I dont wanna hear any of your PH.d having explanations or even your dictionary mind from you scholors being laid out ont his forum just so you can tell me how wrong it is, it is a joke leave it as a joke. */Disclaimer*
Its BS that the gov't almost put legislation onto the gamng world and what not, it just goes to shot the gov't doesnt believe humans can take care of htemselves, seeing how lazy we're getting (Definately including myself) im not sure how far from wrong they are.
But any anycase their actaully is a gov't branch coming out that will regulate how much the gov't can actually delve into the world of gaming, there was actaully a post here on MMORPG.com that was talking about it. too lazy to get the link though, wish they had someone that could do it for me.
Im just curious when we're gonna be expected to actaully be able to think for ourselves, cause im not sure how long i'll be able to get away with murder by saying the pixels on the screen told me i could do it, and all i have ot do is full circle full circle Triangle X square R1 R2 and not have any police come after me.
It's just business as usual. Every generation the media and government pick something another generation does and demonizes it. I think last time I checked rock 'n roll was the work of the devil.
But really, how many actual people have mmo's killed? In actuality governments kill people all the time, and the media has been used to spread lies, intimidate, and in some cases issue instructions on how to carry out genocide.
So ofcourse, with blood on their hands, they will try to bash videogames.
