Blizzard Sued for Death of Gamer
Somatic writes "In the latest saga over online gaming addiction in China, the parents of a 13-year-old Tianjin boy are suing the makers of World of Warcraft, blaming the game for the death of their son, according to the Chinese news agency Xinhua. The parents filed a suit against Blizzard Entertainment on Wednesday, saying their son jumped to his death while reenacting a scene from the game, the report said. The parents are backed by the anti-Internet addiction advocate Zhang Chunliang. Mr. Chunliang has spoken to 63 parents whose children have allegedly suffered from online gaming addiction and plans to file a class-action suit, according to the report."

You be the judge.
Why didn't he cast invulnerability, like the other kid that jumped? Oh, he was only a warrior? What a moron!
These kids today... They just don't read the game manual and class abilities in game.
Maybe it was a Chinese translation error?
Please raise your hand if you ever tried to smash a brick wall reenacting a scene from Mario Bros.
