In the past, King of Glory was linked to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.odditycentral.com\/news\/chinese-video-game-streamer-reportedly-dies-of-exhaustion-after-months-of-sleepless-nights.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">death of a popular Chinese streamer<\/a> who allegedly spent most of his nights playing the game, and to the blindness of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.odditycentral.com\/news\/woman-goes-blind-in-one-eye-after-playing-mobile-video-game-almost-non-stop.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">woman who played the popular MOBA for three days straight<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ess-image-wrap\" id=\"S2luZy1vZi1nbG9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-61331\" src=\"http:\/\/www.odditycentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/King-of-glory-game-750x422.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.odditycentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/King-of-glory-game-750x422.jpg 750w, http:\/\/www.odditycentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/King-of-glory-game-150x84.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.odditycentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/King-of-glory-game-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.odditycentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/King-of-glory-game.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/div>\n<p><span id=\"more-61330\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Photo: YouTube<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The unnamed couple, both 25, fell in love six years ago, and even though she was a Chinese national, she agreed to move to Malaysia so they could be together. They got married and their relationship was great up until 2 years ago, when King of Glory was released. The husband was fascinated with it from the start, but she never imagined that a video game could ever endanger their marriage. In the beginning, she even played alongside him, just so they could be together, but soon, he began complaining about her skills and playing with his friends instead.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, the addicted man started going out to play King of Glory and sometimes returned early in the morning. Even when he didn\u2019t step out of the house, he would invite his friends over for gaming sessions and completely ignore his wife and daughter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough he promised many times that he would stop getting so immersed in the video game world, he could never keep his promise,\u201d the 25-year-old woman recently wrote in a social media message.<\/p>\n<p>It all became too much to bear a few days ago, after yet another of her husband\u2019s late night gaming marathons. When he finally went to sleep, she grabbed his phone and sold his account online. She hoped that this way, he would be discouraged to play anymore and would finally begin spending more time with his family. She was wrong.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ess-image-wrap\" id=\"a2luZy1vZi1nbG9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-60700\" src=\"http:\/\/www.odditycentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/king-of-glory-750x422.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.odditycentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/king-of-glory-750x422.jpg 750w, http:\/\/www.odditycentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/king-of-glory-150x84.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.odditycentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/king-of-glory-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.odditycentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/king-of-glory.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Photo: YouTube<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When the Kuala Lumpur man woke up and realized he could no longer log into King of Glory anymore, he flew into a rage, barged into his wife\u2019s room, grabbed her hand and dragged her downstairs.
