But the phenomenal popularity of online games has fuelled concerns that some people may be losing themselves in the virtual worlds of massive multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG).

In one extreme case, a player killed a fellow player who had stolen his virtual sword. The gamer received a suspended death sentence in June.
Blizzard should be glad that didn't happen in the US

Of course it sucks if you are a diehard gamer and you are responsible enough. But if you are not you might even be happy the government did this. It really depends on what kind of person you are, it can be good news or bad news.
