This whole thing is bs. First off the addiction part. You cannot blame WoW for addicting people, because even if it wasn't made, people would still be addicted to other games and THE Internet itself!
Now to the point of the kid. Why would reeinact a scene from a game??? Someone who does that deserves to die! And he was 13 was he? Wow he is stupid! Apparently the world has some very stupid people, who shouldnt have played it in the first place if he wanted to live... And doesn't blizzard have a terms agreement for WoW? Like saying, We are not responsible if you hurt yourself in this game... IE: seizure, etc, or somethnig stupid like jumping to your death! Guess Im done talking, I hope I filled your minds with something to think about.
Most of you claim these people to be stupid for their actions.
In many cases, the death of a loved one can cause extreme stress and distraught in a person. This loosens their reasoning, and they are depressed and rash. I can see why the parents would sue Blizzard - they feel so much at a loss they are trying to take their anger out on the company that made the game their child was imitating. However, World of Warcraft was not the cause of the childs death.
Also, a person does not need to be stupid to die from starvation while playing a video game. I myself know that when you are depressed, you feel like nothing in the world is worth doing. Eating becomes unnecessary. I suspect that when the person thought about eating, he was too weak to get up and eat.
Great, deep feelings can sway a persons reasoning, causing them to make stupid judgements. That is a simple fact. _________________
Well to bad. Depression is temporary. Its death thats permanent. Sadness may seem horrible, but thats no reason to sue. If that were true, somebody could sue the police for their sons death if he was a hostage. Or the mayor. Or even another hostage. Its an endless chain that will never link together ever. Simply put, just learn, like me, to tune out the greif and sadness...I have suffered from depression countless times, and im smart enough to stay with my life
wow my friend Gloomfrost showed my this a few days ago and franky its sad i have played WoW and true it is a bit addicting but if a kid desides to try and act it out that is his problem and i dont think blizzard should suffer for it. I meen think about it any smart kid would know the diference between reality and fantisy. unfortunatly i belive they will get away with it because of the amount of people that agree with it but honastly i know that if i had a kid that died trying to play WoW in real life i wouldnt be sueing Blizzard id be at his funeral instead
Those Chineese people are just another bunch of morons trying to use the law and lies so they can make a little money. You see this kind of people everywhere and it's truly pathetic. There may be other reasons why they are doing it, of course and I hope Blizzard sues their asses into the ground.
