If this is true, he’s a psychopath.

Other psychopaths could trick people into using the headset.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Modern virtual reality pioneer Palmer Luckey claims he created a VR headset that would instantly destroy the user’s brain with explosive charge modules if the player’s character dies in the game.

Sounds like something you'd see in a James Bond film.

Microsoft will finally get a true Blue Screen of Death.

"... the final triggering should really be tied to a high-intelligence agent that can readily determine if conditions for termination are actually correct.”

If you put that thing on, you certainly not a "high-intelligence agent" and failed that test.

"While admitting the system isn’t perfect, Luckey said he has plans for an anti-tamper mechanism that would make it impossible to remove or destroy the headset — much like NerveGear."

So Soma (THC, benzos, etc.) isn't enough to keep the slaves under control?

If this is not some kind of joke, however ghoulish, isn’t this against the law, to market or sell such a device?

I was sure this was the Babylon Bee.

This is an absolutely crazy idea but it wouldn’t be the first or last time someone killed themselves due to a video game.

Why does the loser have to die? Wouldn’t there be a myriad of other real-life consequences the creator could choose from, that would still up the game intensity?

[Red Badger]

Like, red hot needles jabbed into the eyes, for instance?...............

[Bob434]

Or people sitting around ddrunk or on drugs at parties get talked into putting it on

[Bob434]

A worse fate would be to have the loser be forced to register as a Democrat for life

[Bob434]

Lol, loser should be forced to drink a 1/2 pint of “TurboLax” and play for several more hours

[Tired of Taxes]

This inventor sounds like a supervillain in a comic book or a Bond movie.

[Red Badger]

SOME WOULD CONSIDER THAT AN ‘HONOR’..........

Pretty good.

The best the Babylon Bee came up with is:
