Watkins is accused of fatally choking his boyfriend, Rory Teasley, 28, after an argument about the game Overwatch, the sheriff's department said in a statement. Overwatch is a multiplayer shooter game by Blizzard Entertainment.
Watkins called deputies to his apartment in Pontiac, a suburb of Detroit, just before midnight Thursday. He said "he and his boyfriend had gotten into a fight and the boyfriend was 'sleeping' on the couch," the statement said.

Deputies found Teasley unconscious and not breathing, according to the statement. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
We see far too often across the country these days when people resort to violence over trivial and insignificant disagreements, Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. There is never a reason where violence is acceptable over a disagreement. Those that do so will be held accountable.
Watkins is due in court Jan. 18. It is unclear whether he has an attorney.

wtf

There goes half the modern playerbase.

Ah yes. Pontiac the home of the detroit lions. Many memories there.

what ever happened to just tossing your controller against the wall?

Probably a widowmaker or genji main. So toxic.

These damn violent western games warp these people's minds.
