It seems Western culture in creeping faster into China, including the art of suing. Parents of a 13 year old World of Warcraft player, said he died acting out a scene from the addictive game. They even have the help of the Chinese version of Jack Thompson, Zhang Chunliang, “a well-known activist whose campaign seeks to highlight the dangers of Internet addiction.”

Chunliang, who says he has talked to more than 60 parents whose children have become addicted to online gaming, is now set to file suit against Blizzard over the boy’s death.

While we occasionally hear of players that literally play for so long that their body shuts down, this is the first gaming related lawsuit from Asia.
