Chinese woman reportedly makes herself a literal video game widow.

Apparently a woman in China took it upon herself to make the term "video game widow" a reality. According to the Beijing Morning Post (by way of the Pacific Epoch Daily News) a young woman has been charged with murdering her fiancé for "too much time playing online games." Though the culpable title wasn't identified, the motive was. On August 6, the woman in question apparently got fed up with her unemployed significant other for spending more time online than looking for a job so he could pay for their wedding.
