That's pretty good overall. 99.9% of males have faces abuse in online games. 99.8% probably have had death threats.
Personally, I had someone tell me they had my IP and were going to track me down and gut my whole family infront of me before killing me. He also said he would cut off my eye lids so I would have to watch! God I miss COD 2 on the 360... Good times!

Yeah, probably everyone who plays online games has had some kind of death threat or verbal abuse, but I doubt 1/10 males feel suicidal about this

Online abuse is pretty easy to deal with by just logging off or blocking the person. I can't imagine getting suicidal over it.
