I ran across this article and I have been considering the implications of what happened and what would happen in other countries.

The gyst of the article is that a 24-year old Korean man played online games in an internet cafe for 86 hours without stopping to eat or drink and ultimately died.

If this had happened here in America the internet cafe would probably be sued by his family for letting him "play" himself to death, when the responsiblilty is clearly, at least in my opinion, on the man who killed himself playing computer games.
