    I didnt see this thread already posted so I thought I would start one on this topic... more video game lawsuit sillyness...

    http://www.gabbr.com/thread.php?id=101

    A Chinese couple is suing Blizzard Entertainment, makers of the popular game World of Warcraft, for allegedly being the cause of their son's death.

    Their son re-inacted a scene in the internationally popular massively multiplayer role playing game where their son jumped to his death.


    This case may be a little different than others.. does anyone know the age of the boy? If he is <16 then maybe he isn't to be blamed... would the parents then be liable for letting their <16 yo boy play the game? Is the game R rated in China? Do they even have ratings like this in China?

    Once again everyone else wants to blame their "less-than-smart" actions on other people. Nothing new here....

    GAMES COMPANY Blizzard is facing a lawsuit from Chinese parents who claim that its fantasy game World of Warcraft killed their son.
    According to the Chinese news agency Xinhua, the 13 year old boy jumped to his death while reenacting a scene from the game.

    The parents are backed by the anti-Internet addiction advocate Zhang Chunliang who has got 63 parents whose children have also allegedly suffered from online gaming addiction and plans to file a class-action suit.

    Many Chinese parents contend that their children spend hours gaming in Internet cafes at the risk of their health, work, and school.
