Like we fucking chose to get addicted? Yeah, it's partly genetic, but the fact that so many people are addicted to these online games isn't coincidence. They reward you psychologically the same way drugs do. You feel good about yourself. You’re so fucking clueless about what it’s like and you want to blame addicts?

I used to play Guild Wars non-stop. I played probably 16hrs a day during my days off from school. I played all through my summer, i wasted 3 months of my life in that game. Then one day i meet a girl who was interested in me, and asked me out. I said yes and i realised that outside the window is another game, The World, or Life. I realised that theres better things then just sitting indoors and playing games all day long. This story reminds me of myself so much. I used to play Guild Wars non-stop.

He has chosen to move out, away from the kids and me, into an apartment 4 hours away with a bunch of people he met through this game. Our kids are teenagers and see what's happening and are disgusted. He says he plays this game because he is 'someone' in this game, he is 'the best'. He used to be the best in the real world. After 20 years with this man I now feel like I don't even know him. He plays probably 7 hours a day at home after work until 2 or 3 am. On his days off from work he plays 14-16 hours a day and doesn't do things with us because it will interfere with his game time. He even plays at work for the the whole 8 hours a day he is there. I'm crushed, the kids are crushed, and he doesn't even care. My husband is an MMORPG-addict.
