Chinese Gamer Seeks Revenge Against Wife For Selling Account

The back of a man wearing headphones at a computer.

From Mop:

How should I take revenge upon you! My “good wife” who secretly sold 5 years of my hard work

Today I went crazy! Ever since I got married, I’ve always believed I can be considered a good man/husband. While I may not respond to her “request for the stars” by “giving her the moon”, I’ve basically settled down [taken marriage and husband role seriously]. If my wife were to point to east, I would never head west! MLGB, and so today I find out that my wife unbelievably took my account for a game I have played for 5 years and sold it!!! Fuck, 5 whole years of my hard work [time and effort]!! Those who have not played online games before may not understand just how significant 5 years is for a gamer!!!

After dinner, after my wife told me, I’ve sat in the den until now, [my heart/mind] in a mess!! However, one thing is for certain, I must take revenge upon her, but specifically how I have not yet figured out. “Naked photos! Infidelity!” divorce or something else!!! Ahhh…I don’t know what to do, everyone help me think!

Comments from Mop:

天下有情人终成怨侣:

Females from 4-years-old to 40-years-old are all the same!!! [meaning women unreasonably cause trouble]

I’ve caught the live broadcast, setting down my stool ready to hear the story! [anxiously awaiting updates]

猫游记1:

Women these days~ Can men not have any hobbies/interests at all?

哀伤得:

Lou zhu is such a niu person, even able to think of posting his own wife’s photos for everyone to enjoy…

大肚皮要吃:

So tragic!! For a seasoned gaming fan, this kind of blow is huge.

氟化钠神的:

Could it be that Lou zhu played games so much that he didn’t touch his wife over the past 5 years, so in a moment of anger, the wife…

ytrtrtsd:

This is a role model for us women. It is all for your own good. Lou zhu, you are so “blessed”! Heehee

nianmaide:

Naked photos, naked photos! Lou zhu hurry and release them!!

uhjhghfx:

Sigh~ Lou zhu, calm down, once it has already happened there is no turning back! Even if you get a divorce, or post your wife’s naked photos, you still won’t be able to get back your game account.

还要推i:

Get revenge! You must get revenge. Lou zhu, I suggest you also take something she loves and sell it!! Then it will be even!! Ho ho!

ioifodfssdf:

Everyone guess, just how long lou zhu will be sleeping on the sofa.

daserefd:

One week! I bet lou zhu will break first. Men, you guys know what I’m talking about~ Haha —_—！

维尔瓦1:

Lou zhu‘s temper is very big. I am a female gamer. Will my husband be like your wife? I’m really scared.

q84927027300:

Actually, there is a a way to both play games and spend time with your wife, that being: Have her play with you (if circumstances allow)… Although women may not necessarily like games, as long as it is spending time with her husband, she may very well play.

你妈快临终:

Hahahahaha, lou zhu, you are so funny, as big as you are, still acting like a child. Switch to playing DOTA, it’s quite good for training gaming skills.

qiaojinzeng:

Lou zhu, in the future, go to the United Nations to raise this kind of problem. Mop can’t do anything about such a large matter.

黑暗中的涙:

This brother is niubi! Choosing a video game over a wife!

最后一个党项人: (the original poster)

Seeing this many people’s support, I’m very thankful. Last night I spent an entire night thinking, and now I’ve calmed down a bit, though my anger hasn’t fully dissipated, and I must get back at her good! But first let me share the details of the situation:

Last weekend [June 18-19] I went out with my wife both days, to eat, walk around, go shopping, and even went to the amusement park. I had no choice, my wife wanted to go since June 1st, saying she wanted to celebrate something she hasn’t experienced in a long time, Children’s Day. However, first, there was no time. Second, that day the amusement park was full of little children, and upon seeing photos on the news, we gave up this idea. Then, three nights ago, my wife playfully pleaded with me to spend a weekend taking her out and make up for Children’s Day.

I had no choice, so I said okay, and borrowed a friend’s car to drive to Floraland [an amusement park in Chengdu, China] for a day. It has to be said that post-80s generation men are truly pitiable. Ever since I’ve established relations with my wife up to now 4 years later, Valentine’s Day requires giving gifts, White Valentine’s Day requires giving gifts, 520 [May 20th "Internet Valentine's Day" in China, 520 wu er ling sounds a little like wo ai ni (I love you, in Chinese)] requires giving gifts, and now even 61 [June 1st Children's Day] also requires giving gifts!!! Having to buy a house to get married, and take care of 4 elderly people and 1 child in the future, post-80s generation men are simply beasts of burden~~~

I spent my energy going out with my wife those two days, and being tired from the day, I also didn’t have the desire to turn on the computer and play after returning home at night. Then, with my wife’s acting skills being so good, not revealing anything at all, I was completely in the dark until last night after dinner when my wife suddenly told me that I no longer have to play “Meng Huan” [a Chinese MMORPG based on the Journey to the West story] anymore, that she took the opportunity in the morning when I was washing my face to sell the account I had spent 5 years building on 5173 [a Chinese ecommerce website]. I immediately jumped up from the sofa, turned on the computer, and sure enough saw my account listed on 5173, showing that the transaction was successful! Fuuuck! At that very moment, I nearly cried…

I’ll leave it at that for now, Monday meetings, I’ll come back and update after its over. This matter has been a very big blow to me, with there being several questionable points: First, we’re not short of money right now, so why did my wife sell my account! Second, she knows this account is my favorite, so what reason did she have for selling it. Third, why did she have to sell it over these past two days [the weekend], even intentionally making it so that I had no time to play and then selling it?

清凉油涂蛋上:

Fuck. Personally I think this is no longer an online computer game account problem…

Today, she’s capable of selling your game account…tomorrow, she’ll likewise be capable of doing other things behind your back…

This kind of woman deserves a smacking…TMD…

Women truly are such hassles…

Every person has their own hobby/interests…what right does she have to do this kind of thing without your permission, it is too disrespectful.

To put it a little harshly, [this is evidence that she] doesn’t have any proper upbringing…

If you don’t beat her, you’d be too soft. Let her know what a man is…

Loving you and cherishing you is one thing. But this doesn’t mean one doesn’t have a temper.

ljhkjhjhg:

Strongly recommend the lou zhu publicize the naked photos.

fgb54:

This kind of wife…hard to serve/live with.

hggfgdfs:

I want to ask how old you are that you’re still playing games?

之王之后:

What game would make the lou zhu spend 5 years? What game would make his wife be so hateful?

What do you think? How would you respond to or resolve this kind of situation?

If you are curious, the original poster later posted saying he would post one of his wife’s dirty photos once the discussion reached 2000 replies. He declared this on the 481st comment. Two days later, the 2000th comment was reached. Right now, five days later, the discussion has reached the 91st page with over 9000 comments.

When your husband spends more time with his computer game… Personals @ chinaSMACK.

    Damn…. it sounds like he’s got one of those wives.

    Personally I’d sell some of the gifts that he’s given her then use the money to buy a similar level character, he might need to change the PIN to his bank accounts too.

  • Asakura

    Make a baby with the wife, then let her raise it for 5 years and then sell it!! …. or just forgive her, “it’s just a game”

  • Jay K.

    sell her damn shit, but more than double what she sold his account for. then buy back an account of similar value. thent he rest of the money go get a hooker video tape it and give it to her as a present, slap her silly then say “bitch get back in the kitchen and make me some pie, and if you ever pull that stunt again i’ll pimp slap you”

  • donscarletti

    I make MMOs in China… I do not want to say which companies I have worked with, but they include some major ones. I have to say my contempt for our customers gets stronger the more I meet. Had a bunch of Chinese hardcore gamers in the office for a focus group… I couldn’t stand the thought of them living as they do because of something I made.

    Lou Zhu: Why did you play that shitty game for 5 years? Why not play several games in that time and enjoy some experiences? Why not spend the time to talk with and fuck your wife every day so she feels loved and satisfied rather than selling your accounts for attention? Why not spend your time maybe getting a second job or doing your own project and earn real money rather than laboring the same amount of hours every day to “earn” things in game.

      While I share your sentiments about online games, I don’t for regular console games.

      People should realize that online games and single player games with a multi-player capability are not the same at all.

      I play XBox360 quite a bit because the games cost 5rmb to buy and I have a modded system that can accept them. If I really wanted to play with others I could go on XBoxLive, but that would require certain automatic updates that would restrict my system and I’d have to pay a monthly subscription fee which I’m really not willing to do at all.

      That brings to the main reason I don’t play online games. They’re built to be continuously paid for. When I buy Mass Effect or the likes I pay a one time amount and then I own that copy of the game. However, most of the chinese online games require you to pay for everything that you want in the game (armor, weapons, pets etc.) without which you realy can’t advance in the game. It’s a continuous payout.

      Which brings me to the second major reason why I don’t play online games. In order to convince people to continuously play the same game and pay for it, you need to keep them addicted to it. Give them free little gifts while showing off something much better that’s so cheap. Make sure that they have limited real-world time to complete certain tasks. Always have a new task on hand for them to “finish this one little thing before coming to bed”….

      The largest video game maker in the world isn’t Blizzard or EA or Bioware or Rockstar…. It’s Zynga, the people who make Farmvile and MafiaWars and all those other little shitty games that everyone plays….

      Check out this hilarious article for more http://www.cracked.com/article_18461_5-creepy-ways-video-games-are-trying-to-get-you-addicted.html

      or this other one:

      http://www.cracked.com/article_18709_6-devious-ways-farmville-gets-people-hooked.html

      Anyways, my wife has no problem with me playing Xbox360 mostly because she’s the one who supplies me with the games and she says that they let me do mental exercise to stay clever (the more complex games like rpg not button-mashers like fps or fighters) . And she’d certainly never do something so childish that would only serve to aggravate a situation. She’d be mature and point out if I were addicted or was spending too much time playing.

      Immature wife and a husband addicted to a crappy game because of it’s design….

      • donscarletti

        Here’s the thing. The reason we have so many online games like this, designed to suck your time and money is that we’ve got to eat, and arseholes like you think that XBox games cost 5 RMB.

        If you and the rest of China payed a few more RMB so that enough of money will go to pay for the game’s development, then games would just need to be designed around fun. As it is, nobody in China is willing to do that, so games need to be designed from the ground up for “monitization strategies” so that people get so emotionally committed to their account, investing thousands of RMB into it, despite it being free seems like a good idea.

        Sure, my salary is paid by these addictive, life rotting timesinks, but you created this problem, not me. I buy console games from their publisher at the actual price, so that the industry of console game development, which I am not lucky enough to be involved in will continue to exist.

        • Dark Canuck

          I also have a modded 360 and tonnes of 5 yuan games, but I agree with you donscarletti, people should pay full pop for games and all the downloadable content. That being said even if I did want to pay full price for a legit game, Xbox Live offers no service to mainland China. So the only difference, is I would be out a tonne of money with no extra benefits. When ever i return home I will buy a new xbox and original games again.

        • http://encyclopediadramatica.com/China Elijah

          First of all, calling me an arsehole is immature and doesn’t contribute to anything.

          Second of all, out of the hundreds of games that I’ve bought, do you know how many I’d actually be willing to money for? Less than 10%. The entertainment industry is stuck in a cycle with companies tossing together crap games that are either cookie-cutters, glitch-ware or over-hyped bloated shells.

          Look at an FPS (first person shooter), how many this year or last year are original series and not a sequel? ZERO!
          How many have original concepts in them? Very few. Gears of War has the “duck and cover” theme. Halo has the advanced weaponry theme, Call of Duty has the ultra-realism theme, Ghost Recon has the team-work theme and pretty much all the others are just copies.
          Besides, the basic premise of an FPS hasn’t changed AT ALL since the original Counter-Strike came out a decade ago. Just different enemies (sometimes) and higher resolution.

          Then there’s the RPG (role playing games) and sandbox (open world with free movement) games. They claim hundreds of hours of play, but how much of that is just travelling from A to B? How much of that is just pointless fetch quests? How much of that is glorified grinding and farming?

          The only new thing in driving games is the newest model of cars and modifications, so ultra-realism (Forza) or cartoonish fun (Need for Speed, Blur) is the only options left.

          Honestly, I could go on and on about how the gaming industry is awful, but I won’t. Anyone who’s bought a $60USD game and finished it in 10 hours or less or had it fritz up or found out how truly awful it was (games based on movies… hello!) knows what I’m talking about. Take a look at the most acclaimed and profitable console games and you’ll notice something, they’re all quality games that were either unique in some way or exceptionally well made.

          Games like the Halo series, Assassin’s Creed, Dragon Age, Splinter Cell, Mass Effect, Gears of War, Forza, Dead Space, Enslaved, Overlord, Left 4 Dead, Batman, Chronicles of Riddick, Borderland, Ninja Gaiden, UFC, Fable, Fallout etc. etc. THOSE are the games, that I’d gladly hand over good money to play (if you could actually find an original copy in china). I’m not even that pissed about china having nor XboxLive, I’d still pay for those games. But the other 350 discs I own? God, no. I don’t even finish most of them. The other 100 I do finish are a maybe. So out of 500 discs, that’s 70% that are worthless, 20% that are maybes and 10% that are totally worth it.

          Btw, your defense of your job is ridiculous. It’s basically like saying that if people were willing to only smoke weed harmlessly and pay a fair price, I’d stop mass-producing this crystal meth so that people get addicted and are forced to keep paying.

          Gamers make a choice after the games are already made. The games are made my corporations. Corporations are interested in one thing: Profit. Therefore, the games are made to maximize profit, not “fun”. Even if they’re made to be fun, it’s only as a means to end (profit).

          Salve your conscience somewhere else.

            “Halo series, Assassin’s Creed, Dragon Age, Splinter Cell, Mass Effect, Gears of War, Forza, Dead Space, Enslaved, Overlord, Left 4 Dead, Batman, Chronicles of Riddick, Borderland, Ninja Gaiden, UFC, Fable, Fallout etc. etc.”

            - So, did you actually purchase these games?

            That’s a pretty long list, and I’m surprised you claim that it only occupies 10% of your gaming shelf space. Where the heck are you finding all the other “garbage” that occupies the other 90%?

          • Ray

            Well why don’t you just buy proper copies of the good games and just yaaaaarrrr the bad ones? If you can’t find a copy in China that must mean you are not trying hard enough.

            And whats with the comparison on the drugs, your comparison will only hold true if weed and crystal meth have the same “kick”.

            Ofcourse from any game developer’s eyes are pirate is an asshole, and it doesn’t help when that asshole keeps saying how shit the majority of the games are, seriously no one is forcing you to buy them. If they are so bad why don’t you just stop playing games all together. But I guess buying 500+ pirated games gives the chance for people to play obviously shit games just cus the price is cheap (certain mobile games, you know its shit but its just so cheap, low risk – potentially high return).

            Using the same method of your comparison, its like comparing games with food. I “pirate” meals from over 50000 restaurants for 1 RMB each meal but only 10% of the restaurants are any good. But too bad all the restaurants are using cookie cutter meals that are made of grains, meat and veges. I mean what is up with that? Do people have no imagination these days? I will not pay full price for their food.

            My point is there is a finite set of “Original concepts” but old concepts can be used and refined, that is the real direction in creating something “new”

            How can you not be expected to be called an asshole for telling a game developer that you pirate 500+ games? And saying that developers are just trying to suck in money and can’t make good games? Good games needs a large budget to make, games like MGS4 but since there are people like you who are “willing to pay” but never pays a cent then complains about the lack of support from the company and not letting you update your hacks to your machine.

            Pirating games because they’re cheaper and you want to play them is one thing, but pirating games just because you can is just making you an asshole.

          • http://encyclopediadramatica.com/China Elijah

            @Wei: Excellent question. Since I live in china, I have to assume that EVERYTHING is fake/pirated. However, I said “I would pay for” that’s under the assumption I had a chance to buy an original copy. Going back to my first point about EVERYTHING, that assumption is a false assumption.

            If I were in Canada, then I would most definitely buy those games as I dead before. Or when my budget restricted me, I’d wait a couple of months and buy it for half-price (Dead Or Alive 3, Splinter Cell 1+2, etc. ).

            As for the 70% garbage and 20% maybes, I’ve only bought them on the off chance that they might be good or because I liked the possible concepts (Iron Man 1 was meh, but I liked being able to customize the suit, Iron Man 2: the Game was just God-awful, I couldn’t even stand playing past the first level). The key point there is that I only bought them because the investment was so small that I honestly wouldn’t care if it was crap. In fact, I’ve begun to expect it will be crap even as my selections get smaller.

            If however, I was paying $60USD per game then it would be a very significant investment and I’d only get 1 game at a time and I would absolutely depend on the game being a good game worth the money spent (and chances are extremely high that it isn’t).

            Although I think that Ray’s restaurant example is entirely inaccurate, I’ll use it. Imagine going into one of the only 4 restaurants in the world and pointing to one of the many flashy advertisements that they have for their various dishes. Then you have to pay $60 dollars up front and even after that, you have to take it home and open it up their to test it. What happens when your food is rotten? Or when it’s only half the size you wanted? Or when it’s texture or taste is absolutely not palatable? You can’t do anything because it’s been opened and you can’t return it.

            Of course it’s Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware), but the more a company relies on this principle, then the less the consumers will trust it and their business will drop off.

            I agree with Ray that my allegory with the drugs isn’t quite accurate because of the “kick” factor, so I’ll rephrase it. It’s like selling weed with a little Crystal Meth sprinkled in to keep people coming back.

            I don’t want to stop playing games, because a large part of my entertainment is derived from them. Going back to the food example I showed above. There’s only 4 restaurants and they all operate on the same principle. The difference I suppose is that I can cook at home. Can you create a video game at home? Beyond something very crude using Visual Basic C+ ?

            I’m not sure I understand the difference between wanting to play games and resorting to pirating -and- pirating games just cause you can. I play because I want to. I use pirated games because I have to either because of different regions, because original copies are next to impossible to find (as I mentioned above) or because of financial considerations (as outlined).

            Lastly, I still say that calling someone an asshole is useless and doesn’t help anything. Should I call someone an asshole because they’re purposefully addicting people to their games despite knowing how it can destroy so many peoples lives and bankrupt them like any other addiction? Should I call the people who design the 70% garbage I mentioned assholes for packaging total shit and slapping a price tag on it to rake in money from people who have no clue?

            I could, but I don’t.

        • Anon

          What you say is terrible and long suspected, just like cars that last only a decade or 2 and then need to be junked instead of being maintained and never needing junking.

          How about you and some other gaming industry people actually design some fun games for a change rather than accept cash from ‘rotting timesinks’ ?

          A game developer would be better off poor and with a clear conscience than abusing the kids of the world with bad games as you describe. That or just write one good game a lifetime by yourself than be part of a team of people churning out soul-destroying rubbish.

          I think you’re decent enough a person to make a change in the gaming industry to post like that, so here is something you could do. It’s just money, as opposed to doing the right thing.

        ” Immature wife and a husband addicted to a crappy game because of it’s design…. ”

        It already exists. It’s the human body and sex, though not necessarily for the married. Mental exercise wise, we have porn and various fetishes. Let’s say e are addicted to being alive and procreating. The game outside the game of being alive, is yet to be perceived in full by most of the populace at any rate . . .

      I don’t think that’s the point. The point is, his wife needlessly did something nasty to him behind his back, knowing it would cause him grief.

      Would a wife selling an expensive/special tennis racket you used every day for 5 years be better? I think it’s the same thing.

    It was a shitty thing to do to sell the account. I’d be incredibly angry too, but really, some of the comments up there are just horribly awful, both sexist and immature. Not to mention that we’re only hearing one side of the story here.

    Must calm blood pressure…look, five years is a long time to spend on a gaming account, but don’t do something even worse to punish her. Consider why she did it in the first place.

    “If you don’t beat her, you’d be too soft. Let her know what a man is…”

    For fuck’s sake. Men these days. They just don’t have the proper upbringing. Because of something this one man said that I strongly dislike, I’m now going to insult all men on his behalf. They’re such hassles!

    MMOs are the most evilest thing in the world at the moment. I used to play WoW and when I stopped I was literally filled with life.

    More experience, more friends, I eat better, dress better and generally just live better.

    Now I’ve learned my lesson, I still game, but I will never touch another mmo again. It really isn’t worth it.

    • Andao

      The problem is YOU friend, not the MMO. I’ve picked up/dropped WoW maybe 3 times so far, and if there’s another expansion, maybe I’ll pick it up again.

      The people who have to play WoW every day for 8 hrs are already messed up to begin with. If they didn’t have the game, maybe they’d be drunk 8 hours a day.

    • Li RuiKe

      Gamers are so stupid. And the more they play, the stupider they get. Are game programmers the smartest people in the world? Far from it, but they are a lot smarter than the idiots who waste their money and lives playing the useless games.
      Are parents ever proud of their kid’s ability to play a computer game? No. It breaks a parent’s heart when a child won’t stop wasting away the precious hours of their short life.
      I’m not excusing the wife for her infuriating action. She had no right to do what she did. But, what kind of girl chooses to marry a little boy so addicted to playing games? I’ll tell you: The kind of girl who wants to be the boy’s mother, and rule his life. It comes back to just how STUPID gamers are: They can’t see that the girls who like them just want to control them.
      You want revenge? Here’s the best revenge: Grow up! Become a man. Stop playing games! Sell your own accounts and keep the money before someone else does. Then act like a the husband you promised to be.
      (Something tells me that this guy is too stupid to listen to good advice, and he’ll probably do something that will bring more grief to his life, rather than peace and happiness.)

        So, what is it you suggest good sir?

        Should we all do the normal Bundy thing and plop down in front of the Tee Vee every night?

        Maybe we should make like bunnies and multiply rapidly?
        Yes, that’s it, sex every night. Course, guess you may need more then one wife and mistress to accomplish that.

        So, what do you do for entertainment?

        O, wait, after working all day, you go on a trip to explore all the sights?

        No?

        You spend so much time at the gym?

        You sit there and start at your significant other, and talk and listen to her talk until you go to bed?

        Who exactly are you to judge what is the right form of recreational relaxation is right for someone?

        Not saying I agree with the LZ of the story, but you just show that you are as biased as others.

        So True. If this guy had one shred of commonsense he should REWARD his wife not PUNISH her for forcibly unplugging him from the matrix of an ultimately futile and fucking useless, time-wasting, pavlovian-bellringging, virtual treadmill MMORPG.

    If he thinks losing ‘five years of his hard work’ is more terrible than posting naked pictures of his wife, or committing adultery, then fuck this loser. He got what he deserves, and he is a weak-minded, juvenile shithead who hasn’t earned the true title of ‘husband’ at all.
    And if he does in fact ‘punish’ (seriously, punish??? man up and grow a pair you stupid fucking child) his wife for selling his account, then she is just going to have to accept that she shouldn’t have married her first crush like so many other dumb girls in China do. live and learn.

        Poor, poor Boris.

        Let’s hear it for Boris everyone!

        Hip Hip hooray. Good on ya’ Boris. You’re all right!

        • Boris

          Actually, feeling pretty peachy today. It’s 10am, I’ve got George Duke on the stereo, knocking out some synthy Brazilian sounds. I’m about to take a bike ride out into the countryside. This afternoon I’m playing football -on a Chinese team against an African one (we will get slaughtered, but the exercise is good!). And this evening I’m having a meal with a cute 22 year old. Any complaints? Too many mosquitos. Croaking frogs woke me up last night. Not enough ladyboys in the near vicinity. Otherwise, things are smooth! As for my name, my parents always told me Boris was a noble one (my brother thinks it’s a name common for rapists). There are loads of noble people called Boris, such as…. er…. can’t think of any at the moment, but I know they’re out there. As for you, on with the Coconuts. You can download it from the internet. Your salvation lies just a few clicks away. You’ll thank me later.

          • Lang Lang

            Now Boris, for what it’s worth, me thinks you and “appalled” are basically stand up guys. Sad to see the bickering.

            I’m with the wife on this. Reading between the lines, it seems the wife was pulling her load around the house for this nitwit to be able to spend so much time gaming and all she wanted was to get out once in awhile. I’ve never played a computer game in my life, except for a demo version of Pai Gao Poker(Does that count?) But I’m often around these chimps at the net bar near my house(my house Internet is really slow) where I am famous for ripping cigarettes out of their mouths and stomping on them after repeated warnings not to blow smoke in my face. It’s hard to concentrate when I’m trying to read the soothing comments of Chinasmack.

            On the other hand….. on a Father’s Day some years back, I caught a freak swell at Rincon Point(California) with a friend of mine and a guy he brought along. We could hear the roaring surf in the dark and knew it was going to be epic, so already had our wetsuits on and paddled out at crack of daylight. For almost an hour it was just the 3 of riding waves you couldn’t draw more perfect before word spread and the crowd appeared. On the way home, the guy told us that for Father’s Day his present was that his wife “allowed” him to go surfing. And that’s just all kinds of wrong. I can only think his wife must be a friggin firecracker in the sack. Sad, since the guy was actually a pretty good surfer but his wife made him give it up.

    • Leo

      The wife and husband are both idiots and obviously don’t have any mutual respect for the other’s interest. They sound perfect for one another.

      Maybe you guys should renew your vows and move into a hospital together.

    • bomber

      Sir or Madam, you embarrassingly expose your lack of understanding relationships. For many people relationships and marriage are not about “stepping up” and “being the man you said you would be” etc. That’s all bullshit. They are about trust and communication. What this man’s wife did, was a serious violation of trust.

      Do I feel sympathy for the guy? Not a whole lot – in fact, very little; he should have been more attentive to the signs. Do I think the wife acted like a spoiled cunt? Yes, I do. You see, if your significant other is doing something you prefer them not to do, you should bring it up with them and talk about it. This is the problem with the wife’s actions and reflect a highly typical characteristic among females : being reactive and not reflective.

      In the world that you have created in your mind, the only reason the wife had to “beg” the husband to do things with her is because the husband is hunched-over, fat loser with a stained keyboard. It is also possible that the husband simply finds her presence dull and boring. You see this is one thing that women never consider: THEY ARE BORING. Now I know you will want to get defensive here, and claim that its just my experience, and maybe I have the problem, etc.. well, before you put me on the couch, know that it is still possible to love, appreciate, and enjoy the company of women while still finding them a bit boring.

      And before you put the LZ on the couch and condemn him, consider the fact that relationships take two people, they take trust, and they take communication (yes, sometimes subtle communication.) I think this story is more an example of the dysfunction of the post 80s generation than anything else.

      • Kong

        For the record, she refused to apologize for what she did, he left his house for a few days, never got a call from her, hung out with other women, posted a bunch of sexy pictures, came back to the house, eventually had a long talk with his wife, she apologized, everyone cried, they didn’t want to break up the marriage, they made up, and have normalized the relationship.

    • Fauna

      Maybe I should not have translated 撒娇 as “beg”. sajiao is more like playful pleading and not serious begging. I will edit my translation.

      • Bruce

        With due respect, I’m not sure either translation captures the nuances of sajiao, which seems necessarily to convey the connotation of annoyance (which, I agree, speaks against seriousness of “begging”). At least, I hope this is not limited to my understanding of the term. While not the right register, perhaps the phrases “plaintively nagged” or “whined as only an arch-fucking-nymphet can” would be more accurate?

        Also, I think 心血 could be naturally translated by “sweat and blood,” though there may be a greater emphasis on physical labor (more or less assumed to be metaphorical) in the latter.

  • SteveSleve

    Hello, everyone, my name is Steve
    *short pause for everyone to say “Hi Steve”*
    I’m a recovering online games addict. It’s been two years since I used my credit card to pay for a online game subscription. I stopped the endless grinding after my friends gave me an intervention. Day in, day out I was on my computer, leaving it only for food, toilet and sometimes sleep. I have lots of money, so the food was delivered (damn you Sherpa’s). I went to the toilets only for twosies, while for my onesies I used empty bottles … I would play 24 hours and sleep 12 hours.
    I lost faith in the world outside. Lost faith into the social part of life. Heck, I have money, so girls won’t be far. Friends? Well, I have friends in my online adventures! I never met them, but we connected (get it hehe).
    But this all ended. My wife did the same thing to me as in the story told above. I killed her, of course, and started another account. But her body decade on the floor and smelled horribly … in my online games, the dead bodies of my enemies just vanish in thin air, but my arch-nemesis, my wife, didn’t. Using potions I acquired from the shop vendor, I tried to mix an elixir that will give permanent invisibility. I tried it on her body, but it didn’t work. I was furious at my shop vendor. I called him a noob and 1337!

    • Boris

      Thank’s Steve. Keep coming back. It works if you work it, so work it -you’re worth it!

      Steve, hang in there.

      Hi I’m Patrick

      Yeah the shop venders here all claim they have “Western potions” but they cost more – they don’t work either. The potion that rat bastard gave me reanimated her. Now she’s impervious to blunt force trauma so I tried selling her soiled panties on taobao with her picture posted then handed out fliers in her village. Then she flips out on me as if it wasn’t a normal reaction. Oh by the way I’ve been clean for just over a week, I had a small slip, I was really feeling the withdrawals pretty bad and bought a copy of plant vs zombies for my Ipad. I know it’s not a monthly mmorpg cost but my sponsor said fess up you’re lying to yourself. So 6 months down the toilet.

  • nn

    I don’t understand why a man will revenge against his wife because of game. I can never imagine a wife will revenge her husband because he sells her bags or her shoes. I can understand he is angery, but he should think about why did she do that. If he would spend more time with her instead of playing games, then she would never sell his account. A man like this shouldn’t too rush to blame his wife. A revenge will definately let her leave him right away. I cannot understand male, they are very self-centered sometimes. If he thinks the game is more important, the wife should leave him.

      So if you have something you care about–but I think it is childish–it’s OK for me to destroy it. For instance, if you have some cute dolls you’ve been collecting since you were a child.

      It would be OK to sell them?

      • http://www.lovelovechina.com Crystal

        :-)
        Good example!
        I would make sure, however, to spend more time with husband than with dolls.

    Summary and translation

    “This guy is a good husband”:
    He got an appartment and enough money.

    “I had no choice but to take her out”:
    Freaking geek who doesn’t like the day-light. As said above, if he’s not compatible with real human-relation life, he should not get married to start with

    “5 years of hard work”:
    He considers gaming as a work, and it’s hard, and it doesn’t make any money? Come on, that’s plain stupid!!
    How often did he play per day?

    “I spent my energy going out with my wife those two days”
    If going to Disneyland-like for 2 days exhaust you that much, I have no doubt how good you physical condition is! Well, actually, you would answer: level 26, health 34, robustness 42,…

    The wide sold the account after a nice week-end out:
    After 5 years, it was the first time the wife had real fun for 2 days, and she’s not ready to wait another 5 years begging for the next session…

    He wants to take revenge:
    Boy, grow up and learn that being a husband is more than having money and appartment!

    I believe he said he was “considering it”, not that he actually intended to do it. She took away something he cared for, so his initial reaction is to take some away that she cares for – in this case, her dignity.

    Naked photos? I think he’ll still be on the losing side.

    But I do agree with revenge. Ponder well my friend, when the time is right, strike.
    Though I would ask her why. I think she was just trying to exercise her authority – and you need to get it back.

    Easiest choice is, of course, sell something of hers.

    Regardless of whether the husband is a good or bad person, there is definitely something evil about the wife. She seems to be throwing down the gauntlet and relying on his indoctrinated civility and ego at following the rules of propriety to protect her from any true damage. I think however silly this poster may appear because of the nature of her choice of aggressive behavior, he should remove himself from the relationship and the premises. This is really not a good sign. It didn’t have to be hobby related. She could have thrown out his family album or worse, his family tree records. Just anything that he was personally attached to that was not all about her. Beware of this type of personality regardless of gender or ethnicity.

    I think his wife is so tolerant – she waited 5 years before selling his account. I get shouted at and beaten for secretly watching a TV series on my computer while eating an apple. I said I can’t type while I eat so I wasn’t wasting time – but I received no mercy.

    I suppose I can type with one hand, but what about the capital letters and punctuation?

  • Dan Danger

    I am sure that this guy was online playing his childish game all of the time. Not even a few hours on the weekend which would be reasonable, but many hours everyday. That this guy even finds support from so many guys here only shows where priorities are as far as men and women are concerned.

    I am sure the wife had her issues too and is not perfect but I also feel like she may have just wanted to hang out with her husband sometimes. This is such a trivial issue that the idea of any type of revenge is absurd. I am sure there were many arguments that led up to the day she actually did something. I am sure he has left out promises he made over and over to her to reign in his addiction. No sympathy for this cry baby.

    • Ronon

      [Note from Fauna: Later he finds out the reason she sold his game account.]

      Fauna, would you be so kind to share that reason with the rest of us? I assume that it’s because he never spent time with her, but maybe I’m wrong.

  • Cool Matt

    I think before they got married (probably due to family pressure) he said to himself,

    “Okay, I have to get married. I have no choice. But even though this is something I am not prepared to commit myself to, I am committed to playing my video games. Sure I have to do things with her to keep her around, because I have no choice but my true love is my computer. ”

    I know he would take divorce much better than this situation. My wife wants to leave me? Meh…Just as long as I have you video games! Insert dick in CD hole.

    It is a sad truth in the cities of China…….. there is nothing to do……. Let’s see:

    5. play computer games
    6. meet someone to have sex with……
    7. get drunk
    8. go to KTV
    9. read a book………
    10. photography

    Selling the account behind his back is pretty sneaky and dishonest. Marriage revolves largely around trust (as I’ve been told) and I don’t see how secretly selling your husband’s physical and mental devotion is a good tactic to stop him from playing games, since it’ll damage your relationship.

    Ofcourse there are two sides of every story and not enough info is given by the post, but most comments generally come from other gamers or stereotypers of gamers.

    Gamers posts: Yea get revenge (because they know how hard it is to obtain that virtual character).

    Stereotypers: You are in the bad, since you play games (mmo) you must play it 24 7 with no regards to anything else in life, you probably never go out with your wife and you ignore her so bad that you get what you deserve.

    Please don’t stereotype.

  • Dan

    It is sad that modern women (married or unmarried) threaten their partners by not allowing them to still live their personal life, such as seeing friends, hobbies and interests or anything that man may have been doing before they met. Relationships should be based on caring and helping your partner in life, it should not based upon controlling their needs and interests to suit their own.

    5 years in a game may seem like a waste of time to woman, but it is not. Now that she has destroyed the time put into the game, now it has become a waste of time.

  • mr. weiner

    ..It’d be a real bad idea to try and take revenge on his wife, women are so much better than men at revenge , they truely appreciate that revenge is a dish best served cold.
