This is a very sad story. However, you may have missed the point of the story. I see it as:

The online gaming was his lifeline - as soon as he was removed from his computer, he died.

Wasn't this from like 4 years ago and he was playing Starcraft? Or did it happen again?

I think this might be the third time it's happened.

You think they have competitions to see who can play the longest? Those Koreans are krazy.
