How often do players die unnoticed, their accounts becoming inactive and the few who knew them figuring they had simply stopped playing the game? On Battle.net, I knew many many people, and while some would go on vacations, and then come right back, others simply disappeared with time.. Unless a gamer has a spouse or sibling who plays the same game, and knows their password, no one will ever know what happened to them. This reminds me of the dead man's trigger, where the program executes certain tasks if not reset every once in a while. Nothing of the sort exists for computer games, however. Imagine dying and your best friend never knowing what happened to you. The death of a gamer is almost always unnoticed, by those who they were quite possibly closest to.
It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. I can't believe no one else saw through this thinly disguised plot to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids. We can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids!
