As soon as I saw the panel, I knew what it was about. This goes to show that all games need to allow you to save whenever the hell you want, not at arbitrary save points and such. So the blame for this is squarely on the game makers. Well, 99% of the blame. The kid gets 1% of the blame. Wait, no, that's wrong. 90% - Game Makers 9% - Kid's Dad 1% - The kid I didn’t even have to click the link. As soon as I saw the panel, I knew what it was about.

I've gotten pretty upset when I've had someone "accidentally" unplug my game or my controller, but I've never taken it that far. And that's why I always suggest to save your game as frequently as possible. Parents should teach it to their children. Maybe if that boy's parents had told him "A save thrice a level keeps your game from the Devil," he wouldn't have tried to strangle his father. Wow.
