Default [Register]'Alienated' gamer sues WoW for ruining life
Quote:
An obsessive World of Warcraft player is suing the makers of the game for ruining his life, quoth a gleeful Grauniad this week.
Erik Estavillo is seeking $1m (£600,000) in damages, claiming the orc-tastic roleplaying game has turned him into a blank-eyed basketcase who can no longer function in the real world (as the lawsuit itself appears to prove). Having apparently become addicted to rampaging around some made-up mountains clobbering other collections of pixels with big clobbering weapons, Estavillo is calling pusher on the WoW developers, whom he accuses of "sneaky and deceitful practices".

Retarded! Yet funny at the same time.

This is what happens when you make your game appeal to the lowest common denominator.

Some people are jerks
It's his own fault, Blizzard doesn't force anyone to play their games, no company does that

some of the gamers that claim that world of warcraft (or any PC games) ruins your life is so fail

they ruined there own life by choosing to spend all there free time on it

its sad that people will sue over anything now days

And this is why WoW gets such a bad name. ******* like this failure who take the game way too seriously and allow it to consume his life. Sigh.
