The team of Blizzard has urgently called some gamers to play their Diablo III game in order to test if anything is wrong. This action was made after getting the news of an 18 year old guy, only identified by his Surname Chuang who died after playing Diablo III for non-stop 40 hours without any food or water.
Chuang, 18 had book a personal room at an internet café in Tainan (southern Taiwan) at around 12 noon or something on Friday, 13th of July. He played Diablo III for 40 hours of duration without eating or drinking, as reported.
After two whole days of gameplay, the café worker checked in the private room which was booked by Chuang. He was found resting on a table. The care taker of that café woke him up, and Chuang stood and walked a few steps, and then later he bowed. He was taken to the nearby hospital, and he reportedly died after his arrival to the hospital.
The reason behind the strange death of Chuang is still a secret, but the law enforcement agencies and medical guys reported that he died due to sitting for so long. His cardiovascular malfunctioned and Chuang eventually died.
Look what Blizzard has to say about this news:
“We’re saddened to hear this news, and our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time. We don’t feel it would be appropriate for us to comment further without knowing all of the circumstances involved.”
“While we recognize that it’s ultimately up to each individual or their parent or guardian to determine playing habits, we feel that moderation is clearly important, and that a person’s day-to-day life should take precedence over any form of entertainment.”
As reported, this is another death that occurred in Taiwan due to playing games, that makes the second death incident in this year for Taiwan.
