Video games and suicide
I wasn't sure where to post this, sorry if it's in the wrong section.
My 20 year old nephew committed suicide last Saturday after playing games Overwatch and BlueWhale. Polices investigation is ongoing but from what I've seen so far they're making a connection to the games he was playing. Supposedly the game BlueWhale is a fifty stage game with the last stage requiring to take your own life. These games have Russian connections and their purpose is to cleanse the world from the weak.
For those of you who have kids playing games in their rooms please monitor what's going on with them and check their chats on the suforums. We're shocked to find out what he was talking about on these forums and how dark the conversations got.
We lost a perfectly normal, smart kid to these game and I hope governments around the world take steps to monitor and stop sale of these sort of games.
Parent as well as relatives are devastated and there will be no healing for the foreseeable future...
