Counter-Strike, even back then has been linked with sorts of real-life relationship issues, mostly because the gamer is so involved with the game that a significant other will lose all hope of waiting and just call it quits. There are several break-up stories that are linked to videogames and the obvious reason is that the particular game is prioritized over the relationship. I even witnessed myself some girlfriend dragging one of my buds from a game at a cafe because he was out playing all the time.
Today, another story hits the internet as one Counter-Strike player just knew what his significant other has been doing in secret and found out about the news over a pal while playing the game online. After learning it the hard way, he decided to post his story on an AskReddit thread.
What happened?
A Counter-Strike player was having a regular session with his online friends and at the same time does a conference over Skype. One of his buds wanted to break the ice and shared a link of a collection of nude women in front of a web cam. At first it seemed like a normal internet nudity thing until he realized that his girlfriend was one of those tossed into the mix of naked women online, as reported by Frag Hero. It turns out his significant other has been a cam girl in secret.
Obviously, his next steps were to drop out of the game (poor teammates) and investigate further. He clicked on the ad and found a plethora of nude profiles of his girlfriend. She is apparently making money via live cam shows. On top of that, unfortunately, the poor gamer's girlfriend has been busy making a name for herself on other websites offering the same services as well. Over 20 videos of nudity were traced and naturally, it was unacceptable so he posted his story at Reddit to probably warn others who might have the same story:
"My lads and I were getting done playing some cs and shooting the shit when someone dropped a gonewild link in the skype call saying we had to check it out. the video was okay but on the site something else caught my eye. one of the girls on the site looked like my girlfriend. it was a smaller pic in a collage to a site and when I followed the URL sure enough it was her. She had a profile videos the whole thing. I couldn't move I was in full body shock. Without thinking I sent the link in the skype group. Hoping to get help from my friends. They helped all right, they found another 20+ videos of my girlfriend on various cam websites."
What did he do afterwards?
As his story grew to popularity, our Counter-Strike gamer had to post a sort of FAQ entry to answer the questions flooding in his inbox. Explaining that they aren't well off financially but they do make ends meet. His girlfriend is not materialistic and he sees her healthy bank account, which up to this point he is still wondering WHY she does it. He also expresses that he is not in any way mad at his friends for looking at her naked, instead he thanked them for the support. Finally he left a note that everyone wants to hear, they broke up. His exact words are:
"We aren't rich. I pay for almost everything. I don't understand why she was doing this if it wasn't for the money. Seriously she doesn't buy anything and I have seen her bank account.
"I am not mad at my friends for looking at her. It was obviously a crazy time in my life and they supported me the way they though would help."
"Yes we broke up."
And that's that, one relationship that was thankfully broken with the help of Counter-Strike and online friends. The fact that struck me is that why does she have to do it when there's no need for the money? Did the gamer just lack time for his girlfriend? If so, why the extreme measure just to get attention? So many questions still unanswered but I can just do away with a simple reply of "we broke up." Maybe if they played Pokemon Go together, it could have been a happier relationship, finding spooky Pokemon for Halloween and what not.
