Update: Blizzard sued for Warcraft III, not WoW

Last week, we got word of a
lawsuit filed in China by parents against Blizzard,
claiming their 13 year old child killed himself because of his addiction to World of Warcraft. However, that is quite impossible, as the child killed himself in 2004 (World of Warcraft was not released in China until May 2005).

The lawsuit actually claims the child killed himself over Warcraft III, the episodic real-time strategy game,
which would be much harder to connect to the child's suicide. The Chinese government has been very
concerned with World of Warcraft, as well as other MMORPG's, because of their addictive qualities. This error originated from Xinhua, a foreign press outlet that seemed to have misread the lawsuit.
