Campaigners have warned about the dangers of online game addiction after a teenager allegedly killed a seven-year-old girl for her earrings to feed his video game habit.
Mong The Xuong, 15, confessed to luring the youngster into woods in Nghe An province in the north central coast of Vietnam, and beating her to death with a rock, Vietnamese police say.
He said he killed Anh Nhu because he did not have money to play online games at an internet cafe near his home in Yen Hoa, it is claimed.
"Until governments around the world recognise it's a problem, it's just going to keep getting worse and worse in terms of murders and crimes caused by excessive and obsessive online game play," she said.
"It's exactly like drugs or alcohol - once people get addicted, they feel they have to have it. There are always certain people who will get addicted to a drug, and in gaming we estimate it's about 20% to 30% of people."

I'm thinking that the people who answered some questions for this article are brain-dead or something... Why? Well, lets put it this way, I used to be addicted to Online Gaming but i didn't go to extreme lengths to get money to play them.
It's all well in blaming the games for causing the death of this girl, but was it entirely the games fault? Because surely if your addicted to a game you don't murder someone. I personally feel that the Kid wasn't right in the head and needed help...
What are you thoughts on this?

People like this ruin it for the rest of us.
People will say that he did it because of Video Games, in attempt to get them banned and that will mean nobody will get to play them, but 99.9% of gamers would not go to these lengths to pay for online games.
So obviously this kid was ****ed up in the head with or without video games.
