hahaha you are a RETARD.

See the funny thing is, is that idiots like you believe everything that appears on the news and on the internet. BECAUSE IF IT'S ON THE INTERNET, IT MUST BE TRUE!

I know the full story to this, the media didn't know half the shit that was available to them because they wanted viewers.

First of all, this person who committed suicide did not do it over his webcam. He visited many gaming forums and made many friends from it, primarily Metal Gear Solid.

He was having problems with his finances (he lived in an apartment, he was about 21 years old from the United States) and his rent. He was failing school and finding it hard to concentrate, and he had very bad family problems. He did not see the future (he wrote this) and what he had.

He drank some anti-freeze (poison). His friends told how they rang him up telling him to keep vomiting it back up. He went to hospital and died in it 2 days later.

Surprisingly, it had nothing to do with video games. However, retarded websites all copied 1 other retarded reporter saying he did this over a video game, and through his webcam.

starcraft is like a sport in korea, top pro gets paid like half a million usd a year income + prize money & endorsements. many koreans take it very seriously, theres at least thousands of amateur sc gamers trying to make it big in korea. i think there was other sc-related deaths before?
