Another Gaming Death in South Korea

[Jeunemaitre]

If he were playing WoW, his family would soon be suing Blizzard for changing their rest system from what it was in beta.

No confirmation on this, but I just heard this story repeated on the radio: but the report included the phrase "49 hour marathon session of the battle simulation game Starcraft." I don't think there were two such streaks going on in South Korea at the time so I'm pretty sure it is the same gentleman (again only identified as Mr. Lee). Also, the radio report stated that the gentleman had been fired for missing work to play games (instead of quitting). Maybe the radio got it wrong, but it seems like certain jokes may be closer to the truth than one might think: Blizzard may indeed get served.

Although, if I were a betting man, I'd bet that they'd have a stronger case for negligence on the part of the owner of the cafe rather than Blizzard. Also, if I were a betting man, I'd bet that China's authorities just found another argument for preventing the playing of certain games by minors. Also, if I were a betting man, I'd take odds, the last three spins have been even numbers.
