Video Game Hitch Incites Death Threats against Creator

We know gamers do become passionate about the video games they play. But in the case of a glitch found in the famous puzzle game called “Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords” made by an Australian-based game creator, the company CEO states they have already received six death threats and one bomb threat from extreme gaming fanatics. Though he and his associates take it seriously, they are not too bothered because all the threats were instigated in the US.

Actually, there were also instances of intense violence linked to obsessive gamers such as the kid who hired a hitman to kill his parents who took away his PlayStation privileges and the guy who murdered his neighbor thinking the man had stolen his most precious gadget. Why do people tend to get extremely absorbed in their video games while spending some more time outdoors can also be regarded as an exciting recreational activity?
