Some people are recovering from ilness, or are on deathbeds that play online game. I lost a spades partner to aids 6 years ago. He was on disability and bedridden the last 2 years of his illness and regularly spent all his spare time online.
He died august of '99 in a hospice, with his Yahoo Id loged in, his nurse loged him out per his request to anounce his last match had ended.
Not everyone has the ability to get a job, I played 44 hours 1 week on PuNx myself.
But I bet 10 hours of it was "AFK KIDS", "BRB KIDS", "OMG SRY kids!"..."Oh shit was I loged in still, was doing laundry!"
