I haven't gone through the whole thread, not sure if somebody expressed this point already (I hope so), but my first and foremost thought was this, yes. I play games for escapism, things for me are pretty messed up already with my own problems, and man would it suck if I get out of my fictional house where I hang out with friends and have fun and I get to see the neighbour's grieving over somebody's loss, every time. Man, thanks, now I want to log out.

It's not really lack of empathy. It's just because I have empathy to begin with that things like these hit me, that I feel sad if bad things happen to other people. Grieve, work out your feelings, stop playing for a while, make a symbolic memorial, I don't know; however I think of this it still feels too inappropriate to add to a videogame.
