I only want to know one thing.
Why?

Its because the parent were to stupid to figure out that letting your kid play 4 days straight is bad.

it's like blaming a bullet company for the Self Delete of your kid

that's right. It's not the game that made the kid want to play it for almost 96 hours straight. It was just blithering idiocy.

He could bhave played much better games on a much better console lol

They should let him die, Darwinism demands it.


If you can't stop playing a game TO TAKE A SIP OF WATER, you should not be saved as you are stupid and deserve to die.

KID PLAYS XBOX AND DIES EDITION

Video games aren't to blame for this kid's, and the parents' stupidity.

Because if this is what video games do to people, then a majority of us would be dead.


Here's a cool fact: The kid could've not eaten or drink anything while reading books, watching movies, drawing stuff, programming, masturbating, etc.
Not eating and drinking is not a side effect of pressing buttons on a remote while watching colorful pixels.

That's dedication man.

I'll go for way too long at a time playing some games, but a couple hours of dehydration or sleepiness will pull me out of it. I couldn't imagine anything distracting me for four days.

I don't like that they put first-person shooter in suspicious quotes, named other incidents of people going horribly overboard with video games and made references to addiction. People like this would find other ways to ruin themselves if video games weren't around.

He lacks life support systems that make him eat/drink/stuff, he HAS to die so he can't procreate and make more broken children.

My brother had a dream that there was a video game system that was highly restricted and disclaimed, because it was so addictive it would cause you to lose interest in everything else, including basic bodily functions. Looking at it briefly it was just a blur of image and sound, but you could "master" it and be overloaded with stimuli, and violently refuse to be taken from it until death.

...This is maybe halfway relevant to the topic.

In fact, it's considerably more difficult to eat and/or drink while masturbating than it is to eat and/or drink while playing a game.

Possible yet impossible. It would be listed as a drug and no gamed for it would be made.

I've locked myself up for longer without drinks.

Freaking pusillanimous individual.

If you're attempting to go on for very long at least drink your brains out before you do so.
