In recent years, the global online gaming market has exploded alongside the rapid development of the internet. Especially in China, a populous country with numerous games and a countless number of young players. This unusual story also takes place in China, where a father spent 5,000 Yuan, equivalent to nearly 18 million VND, to hire “professional gamers” to help his son overcome his gaming addiction.
During the pandemic, students in China were attending online classes at home, and their parents were also allowed to work from home to prevent the spread of Covid-19. This was also the origin of this father’s unique story. For adults, gaming is merely a tool for entertainment. But for children, after playing games, they can become addicted and lose the awareness to break free from that obsession.
Spending a long time at home, in addition to online study time, the young gamer in this story devoted too much time to gaming. This young gamer was overly passionate about the game War Rage Online by NetEase with his classmates. However, due to his obsession with this game, he failed to complete his homework. Disheartened, the boy’s father accidentally came across a post that sparked many thoughts.
This post was from an organization known as “hired players” formed by players of War Rage Online. This means that when people are in need, they can hire players from this organization to help fight and seize cities… Therefore, the boy’s father contacted these “hired guns”, even paying up to 5,000 Yuan with the goal of making his son feel frustrated when gaming.
When this young gamer logged into War Rage Online, he was immediately pursued by these hired players, who didn’t even allow him to leave the city. Being alone with just a few classmates, this gamer was unable to withstand the overwhelming “robbery” from the hired organization. Although he asked why those people kept attacking him, all he received was silence and continued to… “get beaten up” by these players.
Initially, this young player’s account was not low at all, but after a while of getting “beaten up”, this young gamer completely lost faith in the game. The result was entirely satisfactory; the father noticed that his son’s mood was not good, but the time spent on this game had significantly decreased due to his frustration. After secretly accessing his son’s computer, this father discovered that War Rage Online had been removed from the machine.
This father shared his personal experience on the internet, just to provide other parents with a unique solution to help their children overcome gaming addiction and focus on their studies. Many netizens also commented that this is an unprecedented way of overcoming addiction in history.
