WELKOM. – Videospeletjies kan ’n moontlike oorsaak vir Steven Wessels se voortydige dood wees, sê sy pa, André.
Steven, wat verlede Maandag vermis geraak het, het glo ’n rugsak vol klippe gepak, om sy skouers gehang en homself toe vermoedelik met sy pa se rewolwer in die hart geskiet.
Sy lyk is gister om 09:30 naby die perdestalle in Torontopan in die Welkomse woonbuurt St. Helena gevind.
Wat is Diablo?
Diablo (Spaans vir duiwel) is ’n videospeletjiereeks in die aksie-rolspel-genre.
Die reeks vind volgens Wikipedia plaas in die fantasiewêreld van Sanctuary wat bande met die High Heavens en die Burning Hells het.
Die reeks fokus op die stryd tussen mense wat op Sanctuary leef en die Prime Evils, demone wat gelei word deur die hoofantagonis Diablo.
Die karakters in die wêreld van Sanctuary is hoofsaaklik mense, engele en verskeie klasse van demone en monsters.
Volgens www.playdota.com/learn sal ’n mens baie genot uit DotA put as jy ’n aanhanger van opwindende, spangebaseerde multispeler-speletjies is.
Dit is ’n stryd tussen tien spelers wat in twee spanne van vyf verdeel word. Elke speler is in beheer van een “held” en die spanne veg oor ’n slagveld.
Volgens André het Steven soms tussen 12 en 16 uur op ’n slag ingewikkelde videospeletjies (onder meer aanlyn teen ander mense) gespeel. Die speletjies het DotA en Diablo ingesluit.
“Ek glo hy het kontak met die werklikheid verloor en kon dalk gevoel het hy is ’n mislukking (as hy in dié rekenaarspeletjies verloor het).
“Daardie speletjies is uiters gevaarlik. Jong mense raak verslaaf daaraan en dit oorheers naderhand hul lewens.”
André sê die speletjies is veeleisend en soos ’n verdowingsmiddel wat tot gebroke verhoudings kan lei. Hy sê in ’n mate is dit ’n verligting dat die familie weet wat met Steven gebeur het.
“Die onsekerheid was baie erg. Ons was bang hy is ontvoer, was beseer en het pyn verduur. Daar was so baie vrae en geen antwoorde nie.”
André sê hy berus hom daarin dat Steven geweet het wat hy doen.
“Hy het homself voorberei. Dit was sý keuse en daar is niks wat nou daaraan gedoen kan word nie.”
Sy suster, Nicola, sê Steven was ’n baie stil mens.
“Hy was ’n introvert, maar soms het hy met die snaaksste kwinkslae vorendag gekom wat ons almal laat skaterlag het. Hy het ’n baie goeie sin vir humor gehad.
“Hy was ’n wonderlike broer. Sy laaste woorde aan my was: ‘Ek is lief vir jou.’ Dít sal my altyd bybly. Hy het ook presies geweet wat om te doen om my kwaad te maak. Ons kon oor alles praat,” sê Nicola.
Volgens André was Steven baie onselfsugtig.
“Hy het min geld op homself bestee, maar niks gespaar wanneer dit by sy vriende en familie gekom het nie. Hy het selfs genoeg gespaar om sy ma, Joey, met vakansie te kon vat.”
Nicola sê geskenke was vir hom baie belangrik. “Hy het altyd baie moeite gedoen en baie spesiale boodskappe geskryf.”
Volgens André was die hantering van verhoudings nie een van Steven se sterk punte nie.
Hy was die afgelope tyd baie in homself gekeer.
“Steven was nie ’n mislukking nie. Hy het ’n nasionale diploma in meganiese ingenieurswese verwerf en ’n rybewys vir gevorderde bestuur gehad. Daarby was hy baie lief vir diere en voëls,” sê André.
Die Wesselse kan nie genoeg dankie sê vir lede van die polisie wat dag en nag na Steven gesoek het nie. “Ons sê ook dankie vir die ondersteuning van die gemeenskap en die media. Ons het selfs ’n boodskap van vriende in Athene gekry wat die berigte op Volksblad se webwerf gelees het.”
’n Gedenkdiens word Saterdag, op Steven se 26ste verjaardag, om 11:00 by Kiepersol 9 in Jim Fouchépark, Welkom, gehou.
Almal wat omgee, is welkom om dit by te woon. Steven se as sal later by Ingwe Lala in die Kruger-wildtuin gestrooi word.
