It starts out with little stuff like this.

EDIT: Actually, I take that back. This isn't little; it's like limiting alcoholics to 4 drinks a day. Cutting down on somebody's consumption of an addictive substance (in this case online games which certainly are psychologically addicting - to some people anyway) is dangerous. Personally, I don't think this is a smart move for a country with one of the highest suicide rates in the world. Making video game addicts practically stop playing is going to cause them to have serious withdrawal that will probably manifest itself in extreme depression and, ultimately, maybe suicide.
If games were designed with this feature in mind, it would be pretty okay to take ten minute breaks, but Korea is known for its Starcraft tournaments, and a single match can go on for quite a while. If people are so stupid that they will die because they were too distracted to eat or go to the bathroom, then why not provide homes for stupid people? Also, what constitutes a "game"? What if some guy dies from YouTube? Will the internet have commercial breaks as well? I blame women. I bet Korea has feminism now, and that out-of-control women are causing this. In my days you could tell who was a woman and who wasn't. Now it's all so confusing, not just for me, but for the kids as well. The boys are getting even more feminine than the girls, and we have all these mismatched sexualities going around, and ... What were we talking about again?
Oh yes, North Korea. Everything's better than North Korea.
This is just an infringement upon basic human rights and is one step removed from fascism IMO. I feel nothing for the people stupid enough to play until they're dead. If you really want to help them, get them help, don't forcibly make them quit.
