Mother blames game in suicide of 11-year-old son

Mother blames game in suicide of 11-year-old son

Jeez... I feel like we're back in the past when Gamers and their Games were blamed for everything from satanism, to drugs and to suicide. I feel sorry for the kid to be honest, but it seems that yet again, we've got to play the bad guys.

It was bad enough when we had a stupid local TV show denounce RPGs as evil and satanic. (a stand that was sort of recalled after a local hobby store threatened to inform Hasbro / Wizards of the Coast, and implied that it would mean an international lawsuit against the TV station). I just hope that this doesn't start off another wave of frenzied "Blame the game for the deaths of our children" spree again.
