South Korean couple let baby die while taking care of virtual kid

... no words.

Face Palm just can't do this justice...

Nice going you fuckers. This will really improve how people will see gamers as a whole.

I only hope these assholes pay dearly for this.

Isn't this like...the 5th time this has happened?

Games are cool and not responsible, parents are dicks blah blah blah end thread.

@thorn this is the first time they replaced the real kid with a virtual one.

Wow... how sad.

In Korea alone...

Edit: Am I the only one curious how the virtual kid was doing? I mean, were they bad parents to the fake child too?

... This is incredibly stupid.

this been like.... tenth time i heard this

Damnit Korea! Are you trying to make China's time-maximum laws on video games spread around the world? This only gives such thinking more credence!

What "Time Maximum" laws?

It sounds to me like South Koreans are ultimately gonna kill themselves off.

^ Look up World of Warcraft and the "experience penalty" incurred after 4 hours of play. That feature to the Chinese version was required by law by the Chinese government.

As sad as it is that this happened, this is an old story from March 2010.

Check the date.

It occurs to me that this may be the reason why we've heard of similar instances over 5-10 times... Because it's the same one...

You know, at least before it was some Darwin's Law idiots who played MM Os nonstop for 72 hours straight...

I hope the baby joins Chip, Emrel, Tikal, Maria, Gamma, Mighty, etc in Heaven.
