There was a 15-year old boy in South Korea who was reported to have played StarCraft for five consecutive days. He was then found dead in the bathroom.
Also in South Korea, a 25-year old man was reported to have collapsed and died inside an Internet cafe after playing StarCraft for 54 hours straight.
A South Korean couple was then arrested for abandoning their one-month old baby to die after they got carried away by World of Warcraft in a netcafe.
And after such news about online addiction spread, so did many urban rumors about people dying in front of their computers.
But only here in the Philippines where I've heard of online gaming sex trade.
