I think they got the idea of gaming til you plump up with food macros from a few famous death accounts due to MMO playinglike the one dude who died playing diablo 2 cuz he wouldnt go to the bathroom.. or the dude who died playing everquest, and there was food all over his desk..
there was also a death related to counterstrike, where some kid (grammar school age) made fun of someone highschool age after beating him at cs... and he either turned around n shot him (cuz he didnt know the kid was sitting behind him)... (this was at a PC gaming place which they have alot of in korea).. or he followed the kid home and killed him somehow
so its not really just related to MMO's although they do seem to aid in such deaths the most... however most current games have "Reminder" programs that tell you you've been playing for an hour... 2 hours.. etc. and recommend that you log off and get some rest
I heard about that diablo2 death 😱
i've never seen that reminder 😬
