Alright, a 13 - year old boy became addicted to world of warcraft. That statement seems fair. Then his addiction resulted in him jumping from an all together too high of a place, thus inhibiting chances for survival. What the fuck. His parents are now suing Blizzard for this because he was "reenacting a scene from the videogame". I am personally an avid player of WoW, as it is so affectionatly called, i do not recall jumping to your death as being one of the goals in the game. Now if i were to say, blizzard is responsible for me being undateable, that seems fair, fuck if someone attacked a bear and claimed they where recreating a scene from WoW, i would be margianally alright with that, but videogamers know better than to solo elite mobs. As far as i can tell, my only viable lawsuit i can think of is if i tried to ride a wolf around, and it turned and viciously attacked me, then and only then will i accept that someone was trying to reenact WoW. Shouldn't this just be called suicide? Can't we go back to blaiming those on Kurt Cobain? Oh wait it was in china, maybe it is gods way of saying you should have kept your daughter. I can't beat a child to death and claim that Coca-cola mind controlled me into doing it, but i can take a swandive in the asphalt and claim that world of warcraft made me do it. Why not go after dissapointing videogames, like 50 cent bulletproof made me eat a baby fetus whole. Stop allowing illusory correlations against videogames to result in lawsuits, i bet he liked sugar too, sue the sugar industry while you are at it cause he was obviously addicted to sugar too which resulted in his untimely death.
