Ok, as an avid player of World of Warcraft (although, I haven't played it in somewhat 2 weeks since I started using Heroin again... they are both very closely related anyways.
) I have to step in and say, that if you no longer have a job, or go to school... it is very easy to spend a week playing a game like World of Warcraft around the clock.
The thing is... it's not the gametime that amazes me about these incidents, it's mainly how they managed to die whilst playing. This bring me to the assumption, that such people are in overall very poor physical condition, perhaps overweight, or not eating enough, possibly not going to the toilet regularly or drinking adequate fluids... or all of the above.
Another thing that amazes me is, why the hell are they playing in internet cafe`s when they can just play a game in the privacy of their own homes?
I dunno, I highly suspect that these people are Currency Farmers, that actually have to play around the clock, in order to "farm" enough gold, or other items to trade for gold at the Auction House (a trading system implemented in WoW that helps stabalise the economy of the game)... believe it or not, to some people this is actually a profession and they make a living from this.
It would just make more sense to buy a third party program that will operate a bot, that can do it all for you. and run these off multiple computers. Big money in currency farming, if you know what you're doing.
Just a pity, human flesh is being used for the labour at the cost of their lives.
