Newswire misreports gamer’s suicide
A while back, taken from the AFP newswire, Yahoo, CNN, and others have been reporting about how a gamer broadcast his own suicide on a gaming forum via a webcam, and that members of the forum continued to ridicule the gamer while he killed himself. And in doing so giving gaming communities a bad name.
Gaming Horizon has just learned that that story is completely untrue. The newswire reporter failed to check the facts, and in turn painted this simple gaming forum into cruel monsters. The forum (hosted at metalgearsolid.org) has been taken offline at the request of Government agencies following these news reports. I wonder if they’ll ever get online again now that the truth is out?
Update: If you’d like to contact the AFP newswire about their libelous story, you can do so via this form and selecting the “Contact news department” option for the first drop-down.
