Maybe, just maybe, we might want to consider this guy was a little left of center…TO BEGIN WITH! Let’s see. The guy played all day, quit his job, ignored his family, and "sacrificed everything". This isn’t what some might call regular behavior. And this is coming from a guy who has been accused, on occasions (several times by the author of this very site), of being overly infatuated with video games. I have played video games all day and night. I have spent an entire weekend in front of my television with nary a break for food and drink. But…it never ever left my collective consciousness that it was…a game. I feel for the woman that lost her son. But, projecting that pain and anguish onto a video game or the manufacturer OF that game is beyond me.
