Anyways, I've heard a lot about these kind of things in the past... and this guy isn't alone. I think there have been at least 5 cases of people killing themselves over their games addictions, and in all cases, the persons involved were depressive obsessive types before they began playing. Still people are always quick to blame it on the games, and shift the blame elsewhere... as long as they are in the "West" - anyone hear about the korean guy who died in an interent cafe after collapsing during a 72hr or so Gaming spree? they sure as hell aint sueing no-one for his addiction.
Sadly, its just the way the "west" is now: if you can sue someone for leaving an upturned knife on the kitchen table when you were crawling on the skylight above it, trying to get in an steal stuff from their house, you must want as much money as you can get. Blaming games will never get anywhere: weirdos will always do weirdo things, no matter what messages augment their weirdness.
