50 hours is just stupid though.

Someone needs to be sued because of this; just imagine how this example might harm our kids!

All i can say is that he deserved it. If you are so stupid to let online games consume your life like that, then you deserve to die.

South Korea is heavily into technology, I'd expect it to happen more over there than over here.

Longest I have played a game nonstop was maybe 15 hours at most with breaks to snack.

Asians need to stop playing video games. There was that one dude that stabbed his friend for selling a sword in a MMORPG. Dear Jesus, it's the Apocolypse!!!

I don't know which is worse, a man killing himself from playing games or the cyber cafe's staff doing nothing to stop him. There seems to be a lot of this happening, the one that comes to mind is one from PCZONE. In Russia, a 12-year old boy played in a cyber cafe for a marathon 12-hour session, until he collapsed on the floor. He died 8 days later in hospital, due to a stroke. Statement from the doctor, "He was dying, but could not tear himself away from the game."
What a sad world we seem to live in.
