The free-to-play title has been played by over 250 million people, and generated over two billion dollars in revenue.

The boy \u2013 who can\u2019t be named for legal reasons \u2013 was said to have \u201cforgotten\u201d to quit the game when asked to take a shower. According to a police report obtained by Florida TV station WFLA, when questioned whether the son had taken a shower and he responded \u201cno\u201d, Perugia then followed him to the bathroom and proceeded to punch him in the face and dislocated his jaw.
