It’s often forgotten that you can become addicted to pretty much everything, including gaming. When an activity, no matter how harmless it may seem on the surface, starts interfering in your life, then it’s a problem.
One teenager from Taiwan has learned this lesson a little late. According to Digital Spy, the 18-year-old collapsed and died after playing Diablo 3 for 40 hours straight. That’s one hell of a marathon gaming session.
The incident occurred in a private room at an Internet cafe, where the guy checked in and proceeded to play the game for almost two days straight without eating. I suspect he didn’t drink much fluid either.
An employee found the man resting his head on one of the tables and woke him up. After taking a few steps the gamer collapsed and was pronounced dead in hospital. A sober and somber reminder not to overdo your gaming habit. Remember, everything in moderation, however much fun it may be.
