South Korean couple starved child while raising 'virtual baby'

[his dudeness]

This is truly sad.

Wow.

It's so extreme, but I'm actually surprised it doesn't happen more often around the world, especially in places with high rates of teenage pregnancy, and especially in Korea, where PC bangs are a dime a dozen (so you can actually leave your house and responsibilities to play).

I have absolutely ignored my own basic needs for the love of a game or two...(Neopets, circa 2001, then the Sims directly after that...)

This is the game they were playing.
