Gamer widows aren’t a new phenomenon but in today’s day and age of insidious time-sink games such as World of Warcraft, the occurrence of this phenomenon may have reached an all time high.

I won’t delve too deeply into the ethical and moral implications of such an act, as we don’t know the whole back story, and that kind of discussion is best left to a forum topic.

Perhaps his girlfriend did him a favour in the long run though, and they lived happily ever after…
