Wolrd of Warcraft Related Fatalities: 1

Something i found on Gamespot this morning.

Couple’s online gaming causes infant’s death

Korean press picks up tale of tragedy when couple plays World of Warcraft to excess, infant perishes from neglect.

In a story out of Korea which is just now surfacing in the Western press, a couple in Incheon, South Korea, were arrested last week when their four-month-old daughter died after being left alone by the couple for hours. The mother and father reportedly had gone to a nearby Internet cafe, lost themselves in playing Blizzard’s massively multiplayer online PC game World of Warcraft, and returned to their home only to find the infant dead from suffocation. "We booked the pair on criminal charges, judging that when you consider the situation, they were responsible for their daughter’s death," a policeman told the Chosun Ilbo newspaper. The couple reportedly told police, "We were thinking of playing for just an hour or two and returning home like usual, but the game took longer that day." The infant was the couple’s only child.

OMG! Who the fuck would leave a 4 month old kid alone to go play warcraft?? :s

I would.

Yeah you would! Congrats

Games over offspring is my motto.

Good motto!

Thanks. I also believe in slaughtering people IRL if they do something bad to you in-game, like kill you or steal your items.

Stupid people. yea i already knew about this. Them Korean’s are mad about warcraft though, they even have a warcraft channel!

This merely supports my theory that World of Warcraft is the best fucking game ever.

It is. Fact.

it does look pretty sweet 😀

But then again, it’s by Blizzard, so it’s gotta be good.

I remember being addicted to Diablo 1 & 2, especially Multiplayer.

What did you expect, they’re Koreans playing a Blizzard game. . .

Indeed, It is a very fun game.

It’s just a pity that anyone moron can have kids,

I also heard today that a korean man died from playing for over 40 hours in one go, he was sacked earlier for taking too much time off, presumably to play wow. Twat.

Are we blaming Wow or the Koreans?
