Thailand shuts down gaming site after boy’s suicide

No more Wii for you, Grandpa!

Following the suicide of a 12-year-old boy on Thursday, Thailand’s Criminal Court has ordered the closure of 72 websites. The Bangkok Post reports that Pongsathorn Wattanabenjasopha leaped to his death from the sixth floor of his school building, after being banned from playing video games by his father. Oddly enough, the 72 sites shuttered by the Thai government include both online game and gambling venues. – From GamePolitics.com
