she simultaneously played endless hours of the MMORPG and ruined what could have been a fairly normal home and family life for me.

I stopped right there (I did finish it eventually). First paragraph in, and he's already allocating blame.

It sounds like he's trying to throw all the blame and problems that he's having onto his mom who's "always playing video games". Yeah well, if she had something meaningful to do, I'm sure she would've stepped away from her video games. Maybe he should've made some meaningful attempt to bring her out of the virtual world, that would've been good. But no, it sounded like he was too busy playing his own beloved RPG games.

It's like people that have no self control, paired with people that have no idea what the hell is going on, suddenly gets to load off the blame to Blizzard for creating a good (thus addictive) game. I may not like the 15/month thing, but hey, you know what, if it's a good game, why the hell not support the expensive server maintenance that Blizzard has to do? There's also a lot to argue for, like 15/month and spend less else where etc. this guy way over simplified things.

If you have ever lived with an abusive parent, a wild and uncouth roommate, or even a troublesome pet, then you know somewhat of what I went through. You're trapped in a house with something venomous, something poisoning your personal ecosystem that you can do little about.

That's bullshit. He admits that he was "figuring out why he cried during FFX" while all this happened; why not go out and play some basket ball, or bike, or swim, or something, you know, not inside the house.

The more I read into this guy's writing, the more I think he's just looking for attention (something his mother neglected to give him apparently), and just wants to be another attention craving whore on the internet.

Thanks to the brilliant people at destructoid, he's got it.

As a warning: don't go into the comment sections.
