Not OP 28

[(Anonymous)]

Firstly, who the hell said that you had to tell anyone anything new in F!S. As far as I can see, it's a community for people to admit to things they're ashamed of, or gripe about things they've had enough of. The OP has clearly had enough of seeing people lose themselves to the game. She said the game ruins lives, and--hey, guess what!--it's TRUE! WoW has ruined lives. Alcoholism has ruined lives. Gambling and drugs and television soap operas have ruined lives. Is it the game's fault? No. But WoW is a very addictive game, and combined with an addictive personality, the results can be disastrous.

Everyone knows that it's addicting and everyone in geekdom is dead tired of seeing video games blamed for everything from ADHD to school shootings. But it doesn't change the fact that, in this person's experience, people have had their lives ruined, and their chief form of crack was WoW.

S/He is complaining about having seen that. They're ranting, getting it off their chest here. That doesn't mean they're not doing something about it. Or maybe it's something that has already happened, and they're mad at the aftermath. "THIS GAME RUINS LIVES" is not a generalization claiming that everyone who plays the game is a moron who sits in their basement. It is a simple fact from personal observation that the game has ruined the lives of people the OP was acquainted with.
You don't have to make a secret to tell people something they didn't already know. You make a secret because there's something you want to say.

Yes, yes, people need to take responsibility. But as Eddie Izzard said, "They say guns don't kill people; people kill people. But I think the guns help."
