Why must you insist on always being a complete cretin?

If you don't care then don't post in the thread. Simple.

I think S.Korea have a special branch of the police force to deal with in-game "crimes", remember reading something about it on BBC website.

Yeh, that's the one I was thinking of.

I think it's only a matter of time before a series of Virtual Laws are passed in one country or another.

Here's the link.

Pretty pathetic, really.

Some guy stabbed another guy over some sword in a game.

Strange.

The death, would that be the one where the parents of a baby left him/her alone while they went down to an internet cafe to play WoW?

These foreign people need to get their priorities sorted out.

Yep. It's sort of like futuristic crime in a way, robbing people through a videogame.

Oi! No one has made you post here, if you're not interested then don't comment, why try and start and arguement? I am actually interested in this topic.

I remember reading a similar article a few months back that I think involved a death. Strange to see the extremes some people go to just to be good at a game.
