I’ve thought the same thing about stories of South Korean gamers dying from marathon gaming sessions.

If a millions people have marathon gaming sessions day in and day out, doesn’t it only make sense that one of them will die in their chair once in awhile? Was gaming really the cause?

Those cases are often Deep Vein Thrombosis[1] caused by not moving around enough.
