How is him having a heart attack in any way related to him playing video games all weekend?
Frankly, this entire thread is about as bad as mass media blaming video games when a kid shoots up his school.
And we can also infer that he was unhealthy, in larger part, due to spending too much time gaming.
> One can argue an unhealthy focus on anything can kill you in the same way
And in this case that thing was gaming. It's a cautionary tale, not an indictment on all gaming.
Very much, emphatically, not. I know someone into World of Warcraft who spends ~40 hours a week playing, and just ran Bay 2 Breakers. Gaming and being unhealthy are very definitely unrelated, and any attempt to paint them as being related is FUD.
If someone is out of shape because they "spend too much time hacking", are you going to blame hacker culture next? Gaming is an easy target. Admit it.

Instead he was gaming.

Yes, in part. BTW, I'm not "blaming" gaming.
