unfortunately, i think this guy sort of deserved to die.
really, if you are going to waste your life on something like playing video games nonstop you are not of any use to anybody and can only do yourself harm.
it is survival of the fittest. if someone is stupid enough to do this, we can only hope he did not have any kids to carry on that stupidity.

this man should win a darwin award.

i knew people would disagree with me, and in most cases i would disagree with my own stance here…
but first off, this man is in korea, not china. and it is not normal anywhere on the planet to play video games for 50 hours straight. also, he had quit his job to play more video games. also, the article implied that he lived with his mom.  it surely doesnt sound like he was supporting his family.  this man was at an internet gaming cafe, not one of those e-sweatshops that we all read about in pc gamer or whatever it was.  it is dangerous to do something like this and everyone with common sense knows it.

most e-sweatshops ips are blocked so they are sent to internet cafes.

china and korea both have the problems.

living with his elderly mom is not uncommon.

still, the article blatantly says that he quit his job to play more games. it can be quite safely assumed, therefore, that he did not play games for a living.
i think we can all learn a good lesson: take a break at least every couple of hours and don’t play video games for more than 2 days straight. whats that? it says this in the instruction manual of every game? so if you do this and hurt yourself, its your own damn fault for using a product incorrectly!

becuase playing video games for a westerner pays more than sweatshops due.

u still cant assume anything.

He did wrong by playing video games 24/7 non-stop….

But that is not reason to say that he “deserved to die”

He didn’t deserve to die but there is no reason you can’t find some comedy in it.  I mean if a clown dies because of some balloon animal related accident… THAT’S FUNNY!!!
