Posting for a friend (IHTA)
My friend, lets call him "mark", was in a long term relationship. Both him and his girlfriend, "stacy" were very heavy into gaming and played all the time on pc, console and mobile.
Mark and Stacy are no longer together but share a friend group and sometimes will hang out with the group at the same time. No break up is easy but they sometimes still get along.
At one get-together stacy was speaking to some of their friends about shes in an online relationship with Ted, who she met in a game. Ted supposedly doesn't have enough time to play the game due to "work stuff" (I only put that in quotes cause honestly who knows). So he gave stacy his login information and she goes on his game to make sure he gets rewards in tournaments, while simultaneously using another device to play the game herself.
Mark hears this and is upset because he plays this game too, and feels that it is unfair that someone is account sharing to win tournaments when there are plenty of people who miss out on these events due to real life, or people who are losing these tournaments because Ted's account comes in a higher rank.
Mark reported both of the accounts to the game, stating that the company could check ISPs and see that at times both accounts were at the same place while at others they were hundreds of miles away. Both of the accounts were suspended temporarily pending an investigation supposedly.
Most games have policies and clauses stating that account sharing is against the terms of game-play and people who do it do so at their own risk. Some people will say Mark was wrong for reporting the accounts, while others will say that Stacy and Ted got what they deserved.
Was Mark TA for doing this? I will show him the results of the post. He kind of feels bad because Stacy was very upset about losing access to the game, but feels that they were in the wrong for doing it.
