一名名位steven的倒霉玩家，因为痴迷魔兽世界，在某天的早上，妻子带着他们的孩子离开了他。这时候他才理解到，家庭对于他来说，远比一个游戏要来的重要。steven在论坛上发帖，呼吁那些因为游戏而疏离了家庭关系的人们，对家庭多一点关心。以下是他的原帖附简短翻译

hi people

my name is steven and i been playing WoW for a year now i must say this is the best game ever created in the history of gaming, but it's not worth loosing your family over......

months of addiction to this game turned in to a battlefield between me and my wife and kids

not thinking bout what could happen i kept on playing this game and showing loyalty to blizzard

but one day this tuned into a living nightmare when i woke up one morning and saw that my wife had left me taking my kids along with her...

i don't want to spread negative publicity on this game but still loosing your family means the end if you care

so i call out to all people out there if you think you are addicted and you havin problems with your family please but please quit the game and find help don't turn your back on them cause they need you more then this game does

i terminated my account deleted all my chars and i hope that one day my wife forgives me

don't make my mistake

hi 大家

我的名字叫stevern,我已经玩了一年的魔兽世界，我必须说，这是在游戏史上，最优秀的游戏，但是它不足以让你失去你的家庭……

因为这个游戏，家庭已经变成了我和妻子孩子的战场。可是，我并没有过多的去想这样的状态会导致怎样的结果，我还是一样继续游戏，像暴雪展示我的衷心。但是这一切变成一个活生生的噩梦，当我某天早上醒来的时候，我妻子带着我们的孩子，离开了我。

我并不是想对公众传播游戏的负面性，但是失去了你的家庭，意味着失去了你在乎的一切。

所以，我想告诉那些，因为游戏，觉得自己和家庭有隔阂的人，请离开游戏吧，不要忽视他们。因为他们比游戏更需要你。

我已经删掉了我的帐号和人物，希望有天，我的妻子可以原谅我。

不要再犯我的错误。
