Man dies after playing Diablo III

An 18 year old Taiwanese man has died after playing Diablo III for 40 uninterrupted hours, Blizzard has claimed.

A man known only as Chuang has reportedly died after playing Diablo III for 40 hours without taking a single break. According to reports, he booked himself into a private room in an internet cafe at lunchtime on Friday and settled himself in for nearly two days of non-stop gaming with no food or sleep.

Chuang was left alone in that time, with an employee of the cafe only coming in on the Sunday morning to check on him, where she found him resting on the table. Chuang then woke up, took a few steps and collapsed. He was taken to hospital, but died shortly after his arrival.

I' m very sorry

RIP !

What the faxxx .. 18 year old KID actually ..

MMPO/RPG/Blizzard should put a time check on their games .. seriously.
10+ hours of continous gaming activity from the same ID and the game should auto save & exit.

Excess of everything is bad! Requiescat in pace :pray:

He didn`t even go to toilet??

RIP. Here comes the reason for parents to not allow us in india to play more than 2hrs

Severe dehydration, so no pee

RIP !

this may not be because of not sleeping or eating for two days and gaming
anything could have happened, maybe he went into cardiac arrest because he stopped playing

Whatever it is.... It's really funny

Not loosing humanity and all, but he is just stupid :-x

If i was to die, i would choose lamborghini to get me hit rather than a Maruti 800!!! It's just that!!! First of the women who let her play in the cafe for that too long and parents who didn't care about him are the real victims!!!! :-x

What a wastage of life :-x

Yes they need to do this. And make the time limit about 5-6 hours. But the way things are I think they wont do it unless they are forced.

I am not going to sympathize nor am i going to support you guys baccilus and dexbg(no offense)!!! It's just such a wastage of life.... :-x

Complaining the gaming companies??????? :evil:

this is not new. once i heard that some dude from yankee-land played Halo 3 MP on xbox 360 for like 32 hours with food water or sleep
and died
but how come the xbox did'nt die???

OMG! Sad and quite bad :banghead:

He didnt play Diablo,He played "the game of death"

Over-addiction is really diabolical.
Resteth in peace, Chuang.

True that GAME is a like a DRUG! If in limit,it's good. If not,its the highway to hell.

RIP. The ULTIMATE GAMER.

Indeed --> Teen gamer dies after 'Diablo 3' binge - Ingame on NBCNews.com

Mustve been a hardcore addicted gamer

Obviously anyone will die if playing continuously for 3days without food...though death is because of Mental Trauma..

ROFL!!!
maybe he realized that he had just sold his entire armor set by mistake.... which he took 40 hours to farm?

i hope other kids don't try to break his marathon record.

I don't know how to beleive the fact that someone can cling to a game for 40hr straight.

Btw , did he died of Cardiac Arrest ??

Im not gonna be sympathetic, that act was retarded.. Diablo got his revenge finally , it seems

Oh..people still remember him after 5 months..best way to die.. :))

STOP NECRO'ING THE BLOODY THREADS.

LOL, wanna be mod?

necros are cool, better than a new thread in this case... shows someone has been reading
this danger is very real, thankfully rare, but it is also frightfully easy
as long as games are going to be made, there's gonna be some rare maniac who really gets attracted to it and wants to crack it at all costs
there is no meaning outside the game at this point
by the same logic though, trekking shouldnt be allowed because someone can fall in love with a valley or cliff enough to actually jump off... this is not about excessiveness of gaming, it can happen to anyone who is gaming at any time, even casual players

dont you mean "mad"?

anyway, i just dont see how a guy could die from playing diablo 3. i might have believed it with diablo 2, but its just plain impossible with diablo 3.
