Exactly! Thank you! I've been a gamer most of my life, but I don't go confusing it with real life. If someone goes out and kills someone or themselves over a video game, then that person wasn't mentally sound to begin with.
I use the Death Star in Empire at War and that alone has caused me to kill more virtual people than real people, ever. And I love it. But I'd never hurt someone for real because I KNOW what is and isn't a game
it never happend to me i always eat and drink water and i watch anime for 3 hours or 2 and i watch pewdiepie and i watch of them bc its fun old vids of markplier and jack
Real Life is a pretty bad game. I mean, the graphics are amazingly realistic, but the AI sucks and players have randomly generated stats upon spawning. This guves some an unfair advantage. Also, you don't respawn. The new updates are pretty horrible, they added something called "The Emoji Movie" which is just a terrible item, along with the Fidget Spinner. Overall, I would rate Real Life a 3/10, would not play again.
whitenight jr. dude, it ain't about games. some People are just lunatics. two drunken idiots in the next barangay from me got into a knife fight over an argument about President Duterte. There have been news about people killing each other over the dumbest things.
Ismael Gonzalez-Cuevas She didn’t know better and killing a defenseless and innocent baby before her life can really begin is tragic. How is she saying that kids can’t die?
So... One guy brutally murders his daughter and gets ~47 years. Another guy kills another guy over an online sword and money, and gets the death penalty? Ok.
gets 47 years for killing his daughter? good for him... i still recall this one woman that killed her own kid and got 11 years... then again we are a soft country...
That Random Guy I usually play almost all day, different games, but I am fine mentally... or at least that's what Commander Shepard told me the other day .-.
he has to make a script then read it out perfectly, like how movies have scripts and they need to read it out exactly with the right emotion so it may take several tries to successfully complete a phrase.
Did you guys hear the news a guy was killed by a dictionary he was *pronounced* dead Edit: for the people who said “its not funny” i agree with you some jokes are “clever” but not “funny” i only made this to share my joke so if its not funny then kewl Edit 2: Oh God this was 2 years ago
Still, we can't ignore how extreme game addictions can get. Luckily, most of us only need at most 8 hours (excluding phone games) to suit our gaming needs.
When I was younger my every spare moment was comics, anime, manga, movies, video games. I still ate food, took breaks, went outside, slept...sort of, and went to school. Now that I’m older I don’t get to play video games like...at all....ever...BUT when I do, I get to like 2 hours before passing out controller in hand. I’m gettin old...
Seriously, the phrasing of these types of videos makes me mad. And it's not Matthew Santoro's fault, not at all, but, games that "CAUSED" someone's death, that's not the game's fault. Ok? Lemme put it like this: if your first reaction over your daughter accidentally dropping your Xbox360 is to BEAT HER SKULL IN AND THROW HER OVER THE ROOM, that's not the "videogame addiction", that's you and you alone. These people aren't doing this shit because of the video games, they were already fucked in the head. The games were just the easiest excuse or the trigger for their already-present problems. Hell, #9 isn't even BECAUSE of the games, it was because of a pre-existing condition! That's the same logic as blaming Disney parks for someone dying of heart failure on a ride! And sure, videogame addiction is a real thing, it does happen, human beings can get addicted to a LOT of things, but staying to rot in a lan house and NO ONE, FUCKING NO ONE goes to the person after a while to check on them before!? Hell, don't these places have SET TIME LIMITS USING THE COMPUTER?! Saying that videogames "caused" the deaths on this list, that's a small mistake on the title, but it can easily be reinterpreted as a "pos hoc ergo proper hoc" logical fallacy. In other words, "they were playing a video game when it happened so the games must be at fault". This is the same type of scapegoating that the media does to blame violent games when someone shoots up a school. I can assure you, people don't play games to kill others. They kill others because they were already messed up to begin with. And if they have any condition that makes them play for hours without end or any heart condition, they need CONSTANT medical attention over these things. Saying that video games "caused" it only perpetuates an already-awful stereotype.
I know like 5 cases of death just from World of Warcraft. One they had on this list is just most famous. How about neglecting mother not feeding baby untill it died.
Non gamers: games are just real life simulators Gamers: wth you talkin about, they are completely different These crazy gamers: real life is just a video game simulator
Damn, if I will play video games for more than an 1 hour, I'll just grab some water or soda and some chips or some snacks and eat while I'll play. (Btw I'm not a fatass)
Remember everyone, if you play games for long stretches of time (like me) stop every few hours, walk around and stretch your arms and legs. It can LITERALLY save your life! :( Don't forget that drinking plenty of water and avoiding staying up overnight is best too!
My cousin lost it as a pre teen playing Dungeons and Dragons. I'm 3 years older then him and as we both played ( though not in the same group) his mother asked me to have a talk with him to convince him that its "not a real universe and the NPC's were not real people" She found a note in his room begging them to come take him away so he could live in their world. From what i know, my talk did help as she never asked me again and he did seem to not be taking it as seriously after. Still was quite the shock though.
Why are video games always blamed for these types of crimes? Video games have nothing to do with kids having mental issues. They should not be the "reason". 😏
Xavii Lovee because people need something to blame for their own actions this is no different than the whole metal is the devil argument back then but now not only gamers and game companies have to worry about being called violent now they have to worry about other stuff too even though numerous studies have contradicted the claims video games make people violent we should blame the media Jack Thompson and Anita Sarkessian or as most people call her Anita Scamkessian
You can't say video games are bad for everyone when somebody decides to do something crazy. If that was the case every gamer would break the law and kill someone
I think the vast majority of people do know that video games don't "cause" people to act violently, thankfully. Heck, I love the gorey stuff, myself, but I wouldn't ever dream of actually hurting someone. I think video games can be one of several factors that may lead to or exacerbate violent behavior, but never are games the cause on their own. It's just a convenient excuse for parents to use when they should have been paying attention to their kids but didn't.
me:watching matthewsantoro video my brother:playing x box me:show the video to brother my brother:shows the video to my father my father:smashes the x box.
I don't condone violence, but if someone takes their digital lives over that of real lives, especially with their own children, they don't deserve to be parents and should keep their dicks in their pants. I have 2 daughters to my partner and as much as I love games myself, even running my own channel, my kids' health comes first. Hearing this, yeah, don't get me wrong, being pissed off is an understatement to how I feel, but I bet his daughter had a better mental capacity than he did.
The MaskedGeek Bastards like this don't deserve the blessing of having a child. I'd like to see him beaten to death; it might be evil to say as much but doesn't have deserve to feel what he put his poor baby girl through? It was cold blooded murder, induced by anger issues. The man was clearly psychopathic.
Vincent Dufault you know you probably are assuming something I didn't say. I never said anything of these events were the fault of the games. What I'm saying is, during the weekend, I tend to try to relax by sitting down from when I wake up to when I go to bed by playing video games, but hearing about the people who have died doing the same thing, even though it's just one day a week for me, still makes me think about my already poor health. So I'm going to try not to cram a week of gaming into one day anymore
emilee thank you. Yea, I've been into video games for so long. My art has suffered and my health isn't the best. This is a wake up call. However, I also want to applaud your breaking your gaming addiction as well. It's inspiring to me to know it is possible for people to do so
I love watching Matthew's videos! They always make me interested into what the world really has in it! Matthew is playing a big role in my life by making me happy when I'm down, especially what I'm going through right now. And also he spends so much time working on his videos just to entertain us! Thanks Matthew!!! :D
He didn't mean it that way. The game was a part of it, though. Only because the kid wasn't mentally sound. I don't think Matt would claim that games kill considering he has a gaming channel.
I get it but it says these games "caused" the death - in the title- I was assuming it was going to be about seizures or something induced by flashing graphics etc.
Three things, two comments and a story. Comment 1: Notice all these are realistic shooters and MMOs. No one has died or killed because of games like Spyro or Folklore. Comment 2: Some people already have mental health issues that lead them to be triggered into episodes by video games - people who lose sight of the difference between video games and real life are predisposed to do so from mental health conditions that they're born with. It's not the games that do this, it's the people. Story: I heard this at a college lecture once…A pregnant woman was playing a game at an internet cafe when her baby started coming. She went into the bathroom, gave birth, put the baby in a plastic bag, and threw it in the trash before returning to her game, because she just wanted to keep playing. Frankly, I only give this story credence because I heard it at a college lecture.
+TEMBOT 4000 Indeed! And mind you, they didn't find the baby in time to save it, it died in that trash can. The woman was arrested and so on, but still.
U know the medical field is trying to say video game addictions is a thing while some chalk it up as not an impulse to play, but they say they are like gambling, drinking, and drugs. It would explain the extreme some of these ppl go thru to just keep playing. They are delusional and addicted ....when ppl with healthy gaming habits aren't acting crazy. Honestly, maybe some ppl could have sought help if it was taken up like an addiction. Some folks have addictive personalities. Ever have that friend u know would get addicted if they started something ...kinda how ppl go crazy over collectible items and crazy fan stalkers
It's not the video games that caused these deaths. People who are mentally unstable can be influenced by anything to commit horrific acts. I'm sure just as easily you could research and create a video titled "10 Books That Caused Real Life Deaths!".
wow you are fucking stupid if it's the video game that influence them to do it then it's the video game fault just like if it was a book that cause them to do it it's the books fault
J Smith The book,movie, or video game may have influenced them but who committed the crime? Like its always said if your best friend jumped off a bridge would you do the same?
Lumbrez lol i play games 24/7 but i always take care of myself first and i eat sleep and help my mum and dad because they the main reason i get to play games
The voice creeper they would never think he would actually take the gun. also the Xbox one: it's a video game and it's not the only game in the world. just buy a new one
@@helpkirbyhasagun_2047 my mom sometimes gets angry because I sometimes play like 6 hours but for the most part she's fine with it because she knows I will get off
My parents were never really strict on video games cause they both played video games when they were younger. They'd let me & my brother play violent video games like COD & GTA, my brother was especially obsessed with video games when he was younger while I wasn't. Nowadays we're both pretty obsessed with video games. But we of course take time off for our needs & jobs.
I won't be surprised that countries will start placing game time period laws on games. Like you can play a maximum of 15 hours before taking a 5 hour break.
Some countries do something along those lines already, South Korea has a law in place where nobody aged 16 or younger can play online after a certain time, I think it's after 10 PM. I'm an avid gamer myself, and I at least take breaks regularly, even with MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV.
Not only is your comment incredibly vague, I can't even tell who it's directed at. Also nobody is going to take you seriously with an argument like that.
Well, as I stated, there are already similar laws in some countries, but I do agree in part, putting restrictions on something recreational is stupid, if a person harms or kill themselves like the people in these videos, so be it, nobody's fault but their own.
Wow, I agree with you to a degree and get told to fuck off? When did I say I was even an expert at law? Exactly, I didn't, I just gave an opinion, brain donor.
Well, for me it had an opposite effect, I had suicidal thoughts before playing Dark Souls and those got cured because I was so freakin' fed up with constantly dying
As long as you are a physically and mentally healthy person, you won't end up like any of these people. Video games don't actually CAUSE this stuff, they can only trigger pre-existing physical or mental illness.
Sword Art Online (SAO For short) is an anime. In that anime the players immersed into a virtual reality system where you use your nervous system to actually play, and experience what your avatar does. But there was a change of plans, as the developer of SAO chose to make the game lethal, by shutting down the nervous systems of players if they were to die in the game, or get the system taken off of them irl. The game killed thousands of players, and only a handful made it out alive.
Hi Matt, I've been watching your videos since I first found them in 2014. You are remarkably entertaining. Thanks for all the effort and entertainment. I've been skipping over some of your recent offerings. I don't enjoy videos about death, ghosts and some other topics that don't appeal to me. I still look forward to your videos. I'll just be a little more selective. Thanks again,
Video game addiction is no joke. I've struggled with an addiction to King Arthur's Gold. You know it's bad when you play something and can't seem to stop, even though you don't actually enjoy playing it.

Exactly! Thank you! I've been a gamer most of my life, but I don't go confusing it with real life. If someone goes out and kills someone or themselves over a video game, then that person wasn't mentally sound to begin with.
Right this video could also explain how ppl kill based off of movies ...these ppl reenacting lost on the borderlands of reality and fantasy

Real Life is a pretty bad game. I mean, the graphics are amazingly realistic, but the AI sucks and players have randomly generated stats upon spawning. This guves some an unfair advantage. Also, you don't respawn. The new updates are pretty horrible, they added something called "The Emoji Movie" which is just a terrible item, along with the Fidget Spinner. Overall, I would rate Real Life a 3/10, would not play again.
Dr. Cyka 420 hey that sounds like Fallout a little bit

I knew GTA was in the top list
DEAD POOL 🎱
Lel
Man I love halo but not that much
GTA was in the list yes but the main cause was the dude himself
not all gamers are mentally unstable. moderation is always healthy
I love video games but would never kill anyone for breaking my console... Maybe punch them but nothing worse
That's still extreme.
Jayz grouse well if someone broke your property out of nowhere, wouldnt you especially when it has tons of stuff in it like exclusive demos (p.t)
Joel Achilles you would think that.
Porky Lambchop Same here but then I would most likely force them to eat my moms ranch dressing which is insanely honk and too salty
And no that is not an innuendo my mom made some ranch that was to starchy
T me the most shocking one is the guy who beat his daughter to death with his Xbox. Poor girl. 😢 😢 😢
The MaskedGeek
That one pisses me off, I'd like to get that guy and best the shit out of him tied up to a chair with an iron and a baseball bat.
crybaby 😂😂😂😂
I don't condone violence, but if someone takes their digital lives over that of real lives, especially with their own children, they don't deserve to be parents and should keep their dicks in their pants. I have 2 daughters to my partner and as much as I love games myself, even running my own channel, my kids' health comes first. Hearing this, yeah, don't get me wrong, being pissed off is an understatement to how I feel, but I bet his daughter had a better mental capacity than he did.
The MaskedGeek Bastards like this don't deserve the blessing of having a child. I'd like to see him beaten to death; it might be evil to say as much but doesn't have deserve to feel what he put his poor baby girl through? It was cold blooded murder, induced by anger issues. The man was clearly psychopathic.
I'm better than all of you, I'm the center of attention, Me me me me me me me!!!!!!!!
*watching this video*
me: this cant be that bad
Matt: a boy shot his parents

...you know what? this has actually been a eye opener for me. I think ill put down my controller and go for a jog and work on my drawings
Chris Mattson ... you do know that most of them werent the game fault...
Vincent Dufault you know you probably are assuming something I didn't say. I never said anything of these events were the fault of the games. What I'm saying is, during the weekend, I tend to try to relax by sitting down from when I wake up to when I go to bed by playing video games, but hearing about the people who have died doing the same thing, even though it's just one day a week for me, still makes me think about my already poor health. So I'm going to try not to cram a week of gaming into one day anymore
Chris Mattson that's amazing!! You go dude! I've done the same and I haven't (addictively) played a game in a few months. :)
emilee thank you. Yea, I've been into video games for so long. My art has suffered and my health isn't the best. This is a wake up call. However, I also want to applaud your breaking your gaming addiction as well. It's inspiring to me to know it is possible for people to do so
Chris Mattson wow I agree with you man I'll go take a hike and draw some anime :D
Ah, the good old days when Fortnite wasn't around
Preach, preach!
Fortnite wasn’t that good anyway😐
I play 1hour ore 20 minut per week ore day
I miss the old days like cod 6 (mw2) with the noscopes and quick scopes
Fortninte ruins familys
I'm legit scared cause I've been playing Breath of the Wild for 18 hours straight
Camime Go to sleep, eat, get hydrated, and get back on track.
Camime Drink a energy drink
Camime wtf is your problem
Well you're 18 hours straight thing just ended I do believe after all you're watching this video, that break the 18 hours.
Camime in you Van still think you will be fine
I love watching Matthew's videos! They always make me interested into what the world really has in it! Matthew is playing a big role in my life by making me happy when I'm down, especially what I'm going through right now. And also he spends so much time working on his videos just to entertain us! Thanks Matthew!!! :D
damn how long are Internet cafe's open in Taiwan?
some are 24 hours
Who knows
24/7 is normal
What about Pokémon go
Yeah...............................................................
Video game?
O
Who else is playing video games while watching this?
I'm playing minecraft while watching this
Serenity Madavan Mc Coy Savage!!!😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Playing fortnite
was playing on my PC with GTA 5 while my sister watches this on the TV.........I got chills on the number 10 so I just pushed the "save game"
Playing fortnite
First one- the video game didn't cause the kid to kill his parents
exactly
He didn't mean it that way. The game was a part of it, though. Only because the kid wasn't mentally sound. I don't think Matt would claim that games kill considering he has a gaming channel.
I get it but it says these games "caused" the death - in the title- I was assuming it was going to be about seizures or something induced by flashing graphics etc.
FUTURE SHARK ah fuck you too
He doesn't a gaming channel anymore though.
Three things, two comments and a story.
Comment 1: Notice all these are realistic shooters and MMOs. No one has died or killed because of games like Spyro or Folklore.
Comment 2: Some people already have mental health issues that lead them to be triggered into episodes by video games - people who lose sight of the difference between video games and real life are predisposed to do so from mental health conditions that they're born with. It's not the games that do this, it's the people.
Story: I heard this at a college lecture once…A pregnant woman was playing a game at an internet cafe when her baby started coming. She went into the bathroom, gave birth, put the baby in a plastic bag, and threw it in the trash before returning to her game, because she just wanted to keep playing. Frankly, I only give this story credence because I heard it at a college lecture.
Wandergirl108 the story is horrible!
+TEMBOT 4000 Indeed! And mind you, they didn't find the baby in time to save it, it died in that trash can. The woman was arrested and so on, but still.
*press x to respawn*
She's crazy probably. No mentally sound person would do such a horrendous thing
U know the medical field is trying to say video game addictions is a thing while some chalk it up as not an impulse to play, but they say they are like gambling, drinking, and drugs. It would explain the extreme some of these ppl go thru to just keep playing. They are delusional and addicted ....when ppl with healthy gaming habits aren't acting crazy. Honestly, maybe some ppl could have sought help if it was taken up like an addiction. Some folks have addictive personalities. Ever have that friend u know would get addicted if they started something ...kinda how ppl go crazy over collectible items and crazy fan stalkers
Hell I play games my myself but good Lord man at least I know when to take a break,eat somthing,or know when I've played to long
It's not the video games that caused these deaths. People who are mentally unstable can be influenced by anything to commit horrific acts. I'm sure just as easily you could research and create a video titled "10 Books That Caused Real Life Deaths!".
wow you are fucking stupid if it's the video game that influence them to do it then it's the video game fault just like if it was a book that cause them to do it it's the books fault
J Smith Uhhh no.
J Smith you do realize they CHOOSE to play it, they CHOOSE to get invested in it, they CHOOSE to keep playing it, so really who fault it is?
THANK you!
J Smith The book,movie, or video game may have influenced them but who committed the crime? Like its always said if your best friend jumped off a bridge would you do the same?
Dang my family say I have a gaming addiction but I only have 16 hours of play time in 2 weeks but this people lol wtf?
Lumbrez yeah you are alright
Lumbrez I have 60 hours in two weeks. Help me
Lumbrez Right there is so much worse out there
Lumbrez 6-7 hours a day but DANG
Lumbrez lol i play games 24/7 but i always take care of myself first and i eat sleep and help my mum and dad because they the main reason i get to play games
#1 Who puts a game beside a handgun. Its like the son thinked: UH i found a My dads handgun, leta shot them for taking My game.
The voice creeper they would never think he would actually take the gun. also the Xbox one: it's a video game and it's not the only game in the world. just buy a new one
I would never think my son would shoot me over a game.
"Let's put my gun in the safe. I bought it because it's cool to have one in the USSSSSSA. Not like i'd ever use it"
*RedEyeXL* they’ll kill you 10 times over just for a game
I'm really happy my parents are strict on the amount of time I spend on video games
My parents could care less because my parents know I’ll stop when I have to and won’t refuse to get off like the vast majority of addicts
@@helpkirbyhasagun_2047 my mom sometimes gets angry because I sometimes play like 6 hours but for the most part she's fine with it because she knows I will get off
@@marvthemartian001
Same I play 6 hours a day but my parents don’t get mad
They know I’ll get off if I need to
My parents were never really strict on video games cause they both played video games when they were younger. They'd let me & my brother play violent video games like COD & GTA, my brother was especially obsessed with video games when he was younger while I wasn't. Nowadays we're both pretty obsessed with video games. But we of course take time off for our needs & jobs.
I won't be surprised that countries will start placing game time period laws on games. Like you can play a maximum of 15 hours before taking a 5 hour break.
Some countries do something along those lines already, South Korea has a law in place where nobody aged 16 or younger can play online after a certain time, I think it's after 10 PM.
I'm an avid gamer myself, and I at least take breaks regularly, even with MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV.
Not only is your comment incredibly vague, I can't even tell who it's directed at.
Also nobody is going to take you seriously with an argument like that.
Well, as I stated, there are already similar laws in some countries, but I do agree in part, putting restrictions on something recreational is stupid, if a person harms or kill themselves like the people in these videos, so be it, nobody's fault but their own.
Wow, I agree with you to a degree and get told to fuck off? When did I say I was even an expert at law? Exactly, I didn't, I just gave an opinion, brain donor.
SavageM do you even know what any of those 3 are?
Dark souls cause me to have suicidal thoughts why isn't it on the list?
John Hughes ur still alive tho it clearly says *DEATHS* not near deaths
Well, for me it had an opposite effect, I had suicidal thoughts before playing Dark Souls and those got cured because I was so freakin' fed up with constantly dying
how?
GIT GUD
John Hughes you need to let him know the story.
Mom. See this is why you don't play games me.Plays Fifa 18 for 5 hours. *Stops playing*
I get bored after like 2 and a half hours and I can't grasp how people stay playing for 50 hours.
Maybe because you ain't good
Amateur
The scarier videos Matthew makes are always the best 👌

When will Overwatch cause a death?!
I hope this doesn't happen to me!
It's good that my favorite game is not on here
OtterFan48
ANY game if you play it long enough, is lethal.
OtterFan48 start going out and parkouring
As long as you are a physically and mentally healthy person, you won't end up like any of these people. Video games don't actually CAUSE this stuff, they can only trigger pre-existing physical or mental illness.
OtterFan48 as long as you dont play for 3 days straight it wont happen
Stop blaming games! Games are for fun, it's just the insane people.
Raphael Xaverius yes everone blames games but if kid died while playing sports nobody would blame sports
Milos M ya the do dumbass their has been plenty of cases in which a sport got blame for a person deatg
Some-Cunt-Named-Nuts nice name
J Smith yeah but u will hear more often games killed people than sports killed people

*"It's all fun and games.... until someone gets hurt."*
Sword Art Online Man that's the real killer
Cynx Nice Joke Dude
I don't get it
Sword Art Online (SAO For short) is an anime. In that anime the players immersed into a virtual reality system where you use your nervous system to actually play, and experience what your avatar does. But there was a change of plans, as the developer of SAO chose to make the game lethal, by shutting down the nervous systems of players if they were to die in the game, or get the system taken off of them irl. The game killed thousands of players, and only a handful made it out alive.
what was it again deathgun?
Der Wahre Super Sand gun gale?
Am I the only one not surprised that GTA is on this list?
DragonBall Gamer yes
SuperDuperKendPlushBros
Ok no, there is no way a game can cause someone to go as crazy to Serbian Film level, that is a bit too extreme.
DragonBall Gamer me too
Me too
DragonBall Gamer Na Gta has to much killing

Hm, a lot of death lately on this channel, where are the happy videos
supply meets demand, my friend. he noticed that people are more attracted to darker content, so he delivered.
Where are the funny videos? He used to include humor in his videos, now we rarely see that.
They are out there, getting less views.
They are over there hiding from these videos
It’s not the video games fault Real life people Died.
Ya
Hi Matt,
I've been watching your videos since I first found them in 2014. You are remarkably entertaining. Thanks for all the effort and entertainment.
I've been skipping over some of your recent offerings. I don't enjoy videos about death, ghosts and some other topics that don't appeal to me. I still look forward to your videos. I'll just be a little more selective.
Thanks again,
Video game addiction is no joke. I've struggled with an addiction to King Arthur's Gold. You know it's bad when you play something and can't seem to stop, even though you don't actually enjoy playing it.
