No, I'm not remotely defending what the guy did.
I'm simply wondering if the narrative about "over a VIDEO GAME ?!?!?" (not your words but a direct quote I've seen elsewhere) would be different if he'd done this at, say, a similar poker event or whathaveyou.

I agree. It's like poker where you can have wild financial swings. And to some you're dealing with younger adults who are just not accustomed to that. Surprised we don't see this stuff take place more at casinos or events like this.
This is apparently the guy.
