OK... So there's a 15 year old Swedish Boy who had Seizures and shit from playing WoW (World of Warcraft)... Very sad... granted, its his own stupidity for playing for 24 hours straight... But, whatever, now parents are up in arms against the video games again...
OK... So... First of all... WHAT THE HELL was the 15 year old doing playing WoW... Uhm, It REQUIRES A CREDIT CARD FOR AN ACCOUNT!!! so... if he's addicted to this game, then ITS HIS PARENTS FAULT!!!! they have to be allowing it... GODDAMN!! I wish parents would get a Clue, and learn to MONITOR what their kids play... and on top of that, learn to tell the kid NO... "Mommy I wanna play this game for adults, but I need a credit card, can I use yours?" ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT!!! Its not rocket science... if it requires a credit card, then it is meant for ADULTS!!!
Yes... I know, they have time cards as well that one can purchase... but ya know what? It's STILL a game for ADULTS... And Parents would know this if they took a moment to know what their kids are doing...
I think it were be perfect if Blizzard would rate the game ADULT, instead of Teen, so that way Parents would HAVE to buy it for their Kids... then Get rid of the WoW Time Cards, and completely require a credit card... any 18+yr old can get themselves a Credit/Debit Card... If Kids could no longer get on the game the number of Immature RETARDS would be cut in half, at least... Then if Blizzard could put a ban on anyone under 18 playing it, that would be great too... I mean, at least then maybe less kids would play it...
I dunno, just my opinion, especially since they make ya Pay for it... and personally I have been playing LESS and LESS because of the IDIOT FUCKTARDS...

I sold one to a 13 year old kid not too long ago. He said that while it's a 'gift card', the game companies subtract the amount of money on it and he just updates the info with new cards when it hits 0.
but in order to get an account you have to purchase the game. the key code that comes with the game is the only way to activate your account. and if an account is banned, you have to purchase a WHOLE NEW copy of the game. So if blizz would make it 18+ to purchase, then kids couldn't get on as easily, unless their parents step up to the plate.
Ahaaah, wow. Yeah, I could see that. But there's no way to prove that someone's not say, 39 and doesn't believe in credit cards and using a gift card instead. It's just a whole sloppy mess. :)
