In an unfortunate series of events, Blizzard has yet another game related death attached to its brand image. An 18 year old Taiwanese male, whose surname was Chuang, died after playing nearly 2 days straight of an unidentified Activision Blizzard game.
Chuang reportedly booked a private room at a Café in Taiwan on noon of July the 13th and two days later on the morning of July the 15th an attendant found him resting on a table in the room. The attendant woke him up, Chuang got up, but only took a few steps before collapsing onto the floor.
He was then rushed immediately to the hospital where unfortunately he was pronounced dead due to cardiovascular problems, probably induced from a combination of a lack of sleep and extended sedimentary positioning. Chuang’s death due to long hours of gaming marks the second time in Taiwan that a person has died from extended gameplay.
This is definitely a case of gaming gone too far, is it time measures were put into place to prevent things like this happening again or is it just a small minority that don’t know when enough is enough? Let us know what you think about this shocking story from Taiwan.
