Xiao Cai, a 23 year-old gamer who has spent a great portion of his life being heavily addicted to video games attempted suicide in Beijing, China by swallowing a sawblade. His condition is one of the most severe cases of game addiction, causing him to ramble on about his video games continuously. According to sources, the doctors who have been treating Xiao Cai recall that even while he was in critical condition following the attempt, he reportedly continued to incoherently discuss his favorite video games in the Beijing Hospital ICU.

As reported by Danwei, Xiao Cai has been a gaming addict since his junior high years, only with the common case of gaming addiction. However, the man's family have noted that he has gradually been worsening with his addiction and that the time prior to his attempted suicide was at an all-time extreme. The source of his gaming addiction has been narrowed down to playing either StarCraft or World of Warcraft.

This has been another addition to a long line of certain fans of Blizzard Entertainment taking irrational action in the cases of suicide, personal injury or lethal role-playing.
