A 13-year old boy became obsessed with playing VR games, skipping school to play for days at a time. Within 5 years he had amassed over $300 million in virtual property but had dropped out of school. He eventually gained so much weight from lack of exercise that he could no longer leave his home, and lost all his virtual money to hackers. Struggling financially and physically, he died penniless within a year, having abused VR to the point that it took over his real life.
