Ex-Blizzard Employee Divorces Spouse Over WoW Addiction

[Craig]

You just can't make this kind of silliness up. Say it with me now, Leeeerrroy Jeeeenkins!!

Quote:

A California resident who once worked briefly for Blizzard has recently divorced her husband of six years because according to her, his addiction to World of Warcraft ruined their marriage. Never having played the game herself, 28 year-old Jocelyn stated that her husband Peter’s crippling addiction to the game became more than she could handle.

Although a gamer herself Jocelyn has never played WoW because she recognized the fact that it was a game that would never end and therefore did not wish to play it. She also states that WoW was the sole catalyst for the divorce and is still highly emotional about its impact on her marriage.

Awesome.

Wow is a worse drug than heroin

Ranks right up there with the Everquest suicide. Dude worked delivering pizzas, had an apartment, played Everquest. Spent his off time playing Everquest. Then quit his job to play more. Had to move back with his parents because he couldnt afford rent.
Did I mention he had epilepsy? Yep, under doctors orders not to play video games. He did anyway. Has seizures occasionally. Kept playing. Then his online friends stole his gear on him. Aaaand he killed himself over it.
His mom unsuccessfully sued the game maker.

i get how people get addicted. I mean, I like leveling up and getting new armor and weapons.
