Chinese Gamer Stabs Friend To Death For Selling His Sword
Here’s some more great publicity for video games coming out of China this week. In Shanghai, 41 year old Qiu Chengwei recently killed a friend after he sold his “dragon sabre” sword in the online game Legend Of Mir 3. He had lent the sword to his friend in game, who then proceeded to sell it online for the equivalent of $870 (that’s real life money, not virtual money). An interesting debate has been sparked as a result. Apparently Chengwei approached police and asked for help, but was told that since the weapon did not exist in real life it could not be protected by law. As these video games bleed over into real life (pun intended), you have to wonder if the laws may need to change at some point. For now though, this guy is just another pscyho gamer who took things a little too seriously.
