I'm just wondering whether the child was still alive when he went to the bathroom. If it was, and the kid was struggling... man, that's bad. This is really, a terrible, terrible mistake.
Man Let Son Suffocate Because He Was Playing WoW

No pause feature? That's not an excuse. A person's (including children's) life ALWAYS comes first.
Can't we just get a pause button? then you guys don't have to keep defending it because someone can't pry their eyes off of it.
It IS the parent's fault,but WoW wasn't helping. MMOs tend to have this problem. Fun, Really fun, So fun you'd rather keep playing then check on your baby because you might 'die' ingame.
This is what they are made to be. Intoxicatedly fun.
It is a Fucking shame when they don't add a feature and children die in real life because of it.

I honestly can't say I wouldn't be lazy enough to do the same thing. Then again, I'm not ready to be a father, like this man.
You are playing at the same time as other players online in real time. How the fuck would they add a pause feature? Walking away from the game is something normal people find no problem doing. No one cares if you die in WoW, there is next to zero penalty.Canebrake said:

I'm sorry, but I just cannot take this seriously in the slightest with that avatar. It's just... too... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Accountfailed said:
It's perfect.
On topic; what a tragic story. Like others have said, I don't think that WoW is strictly the problem; Live Football would have had much the same result with this idiot. That said, I do feel sorry for the full family including him.
Damnit! That's why we need our govirmintz to put tabs on our babby.
Also this could all be prevented if all the games were banned like ever.
You heard me Washington, HOP TO IT!

Personally, I think blizzard should ban this bastard's account, just to add insult to injury. I mean really? What the Hell was he doing? How hard would it have been to hope on his flying mount and scoot 10 ft into the air to go check on his son? Even in a raid or pvp situation, there's always a chance for respite, even if it means death, considering, you can most likely come back without a hitch, you may be short a few gold but...I'm pretty sure that paying 10 gold to keep your god damn son alive is a a worth-while price...
/end half-rant.

...it happens again...well fuck me...WHY?!?! Why do people like this use video games as an excuse? Because they're an easy target...HULK RAGE SMASHING BLOCKS OF PURE HATE!!!!!!
It's horrible to hear a child died due to this idiot...hopefully they're okay...hopefully this is the last time this kind of thing happens...I pray for this to be so

See infatuation like that is the reason I left the game. I do feel horrible about the loss for the family. It is not Blizzards fault but those of us that choose to not self police or monitor our own addictions and let a game/drug/or bad habit become part of us and then look in the mirror playing the victim card. I truly feel bad about this situation and its a sad look at how games negatively can effect lives.
It's not that he was playing a game, it's that he wasn't paying attention to his child.
Replace the game with t.v., a movie, a book, another human talking to him... it doesn't matter what it was that preoccupied the parent. Someone can care only so much... any excuse is enough for those who don't have their priorities straight.
Humans can be shit. We already know this, no need to bring a focal point toward those who neglect children in a way that kills them. I thought we all know that shit people let their children die.
I guess this is for the people that still think that everyone is still capable of being decent.
News flash:
People are capable of heinous acts still. Even with great people saying great things, some people are always going to do horrible things.
Does informing the masses that there are people who can do such horrible things make a difference?
I want to do horrible things to those who do these types of things. Does that make me as bad as those who commit these kinds of acts?
