Parents Sue Blizzard Over Teen's Death

The parents of a Chinese teen who committed suicide have, according to this article from exzibit.net, apparently sued Blizzard Entertainment, claiming that his addiction to World of Warcraft caused him to end his own life.

In recent years, we've heard a lot of debate over games having adverse affects on young players (GTA, anyone?), and RPG's have never been exempt from these accusations (there were lawsuits filed against Dungeons & Dragons before it was even a video game), but as far as I know, this is a first for the MMORPG era, though correct me if I'm wrong. The article doesn't go into much detail, but it will be interesting to see how this case plays out.

*UPDATE*
As a helpful reader pointed out, the article in question is slightly off with it's facts; the game in question is actually Warcraft III, not WoW. It seems that the foreign press picked up on the story & the facts only got loosely translated, as the same erroneous information has appeared on several news sites. The article located here attempts to clear up the issue. Thanks to Andrea for pointing out the mistake.
