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?

OK, this is a f*cking joke. Firstly "Mong The Xuong", you f*ckwit stop ruining the name of gaming for the rest of us you lunatic. Secondly video-games are not addictive, unless you want to quality anything else you can do over and over as potentially addictive as well. What separates this from real addictions is that alcohol and other drugs have a physical effect on you, whereas this like other BS "addictions" is merely psychological.
Stuff like this annoys me, because if eventually "addictive" games get banned prats like this will have ruined it for the rest of us. And as Irish said this twat is part of a minority, just like there are other minorities of idiots in every other field of entertainment. Problem is I doubt the out of touch politicians of this day and age will see that, which is a real shame.
