Every once in a while, gaming sites (and not only) all around the world report stories according to which someone harmed someone else because of video games. It always happens, that’s a fact. Generally, us games editors are skeptical about them being so games-related, but this one folks… Apparently, a 13-year-old Vietnamese boy has strangled and killed an 81-year-old woman to rob her of cash so he could play online games.

However, digging … well… digg.com, I’ve come across this story more than once. It also makes reference to World of Warcraft and it seems that this is the game in question here, yet the lengthier, more detailed piece up on earthtimes.org makes no such mention.
