I'm mostly thinking about the type of online role playing games which people throw their lives away on, but I would consider Starcraft to be a borderline case.

I'm mostly thinking about the type of online role playing games which people throw their lives away on, but I would consider Starcraft to be a borderline case. I do believe in general that people are responsible for the consequences they create even if they could not have possibly predicted them. I certainly don't think that Blizzard should be punished for the death of that man. I would only hope that when they heard the news that as individuals they stopped and spent a couple of quiet minutes asking themselves if what they are doing contributes to improving human society or not.
