It isn't. We can infer from the rest of the post that the person in question was unhealthy, but OP took an unnecessary shot at gaming. One can argue an unhealthy focus on anything can kill you in the same way, and gaming wasn't a symptom.
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.
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.
Here's a thought, oh, I don't know: it was his fault, not gaming's. Radical concept, personal accountability. It's almost like the choices we make in life shape who we are, or something else absolutely crazy like that.
You responded before I edited to be clear that I'm not blaming gaming. It was his choice but that doesn't change the fact that spending his time gaming instead of getting some physical activity likely had something to do with a 32-year-old dying of a heart attack.
