4. Saying Goodbye to Online Games

The magic of online games are their persistent worlds, but they can only exist for as long as someone  pays for the servers. Inevitably there comes a time when the servers are shut down. That means goodbye to the friends you made online, the wonderful adventures you had together. Everything burns away until there’s nothing left but smoke and disintegrated experience points.

It’s happened to all of us. With only fifteen slots on a memory card and only so much hard drive space, storage gets rationed out to your games like water in the zombie apocalypse. So you try to delete what you don’t need but accidentally delete that which was precious to you. You can only bellow in slow motion as you watch the data get deleted, beaten by your own stupidity.

Nothingness.

That’s what happens when you let success get to your head.
