And you thought you had it bad…

A CHINESE woman has been charged with the murder of her fiancé for spending "too much time playing online games."
On August 6th the young woman murdered her jobless fiancé as he was spending too much time playing online videogames and not enough searching for a job in order to pay for the couples wedding, according to Action Trip.
This comes on the heels of the Chinese government’s attempts to curb online videogaming by placing a cap on the amount of time which players can spend on MMORPGs. While their restrictions may be a tad harsh we would say that considering the increasing number of crimes related to MMORPGs, including several murders, operators of the games should perhaps take it upon themselves to monitor players for excessive play.
