This is a TERRIBLE thing for everyone. Sure, many people have thrown their lives away playing WoW, but this auction house is going to be much worse because now you actually get something in real life from the hours you invest in the game.
Agreed 100%. I expect to have more fun playing Torchlight 2 at this point anyway.
I tend to agree with both of you, but what if surviving our societies build upon entertainment was part of natural human evolution? I mean, some people obviously flush their lives down the toilet playing video games all day long. Ergo no social life. Ergo no sexual life. Ergo they never procreate. Ergo they disappear. And so only the fittest eventually survive.
Besides, be it with video games or not, some people are weak and prone to simply throw their lives away. Living in our western societies is tough, even almost unbearable. I wonder how many WoW addicts, in a world without WoW, would do drugs instead.
But I'm only mindlessly digressing here, back to topic: fuck Diablo III.
True, true. I live in Sweden and the whole country is going to shit because of stuff like this. Things are so good here that teenagers aren't expected to do anything at all, parents don't want to pressure their stupid fucking kids, so the kids end up wasting their lives on WoW/LoL/CS/HoN or whatever game is cool at the moment. Until they are old enough to realize that they've wasted their lives. The kids then develop social phobia because they are basically still children, mentally. But society expects so much more from them.
This among other things has created a country that is soon going to be run by women, because the men of my generation are unable to live a normal life (socialize) without being constantly drunk.
Sorry for posting this shit in the gaming forum, lol.
