MMO's cause people to commit suicide!
Just wait...that'll be the anti-video game supporters' comment in the next day or so.
Looks like NGE just claimed another SOE subscriber...

One can only hope.

I'm not, it's got to the point where most people would rather appear like the jaded commentator where when something sad and horrible as a suicide is recieved with this know it all, half witted comments. Sure the person or persons may think that they are bieng funny, that somehow they have wowed the community with their limited insight, but in the end it's a lack of empathy and the sort of detachment many now in online communities have.
It's very easy to appear that way until the something similar happens in your own personal life and if it did and you are still this way then God help you because you are really an empty soul.
I for one do feel sorry for him. Yes, he took his own life and it was his own fault, but sometimes people really do have mental disorders that prevent them from realizing they have a problem and getting help for it. I'm sorry he was one of those people that had to go through that. And I'm really surprised that you guys don't feel sorry for someone who felt that they had no other option.
My condolences go out to his family.

RIP dude my thoughts are with his family and friends.
Shocked at some of the comments in this thread.
Never heard of the guy, but it's tragic when someone takes their own life. Knowing that's what he had to resort to to escape whatever it was that was bothering him.
