But seriously, how can someone stand to play a game for 50 hours? It just seems odd and strange to me since I can rarely stand playing a game for longer than 10 minutes before I get bored.
AstrosFan said:"We presume the cause of death was heart failure stemming from exhaustion," a Taegu provincial police official said by telephone.
Being in the healthcare field, this explanation doesn't really make sense. There has to be more to the story than the way it's being portrayed.
It's hard to read things in press & figure out the true medical facts.
Unfortunately, the unintended side-effect of reporting it like this is that people will begin to think, "I shouldn't play video games too long b/c it might cause me to die."
The cause-and-effect that is being implied in the story is just incorrect.

This guy obviosuly had a mental disorder/illness/addiction (he lost his job because of his gaming) that is no different from someone who drinks themself to death or someone who gambles away from their life savings.
Please show more sympathy.
