Now if I log into the game, I will always think about the victims and the woman who took her life because stupid men can't handle being around women. I'm really pissed about it. I did not need playing a mmorpg on my conscious.
Wow already lost me for other reasons, but... I met my wife in that game. It was a huge part of my young adulthood. Overwatch was super important to me in helping me figure out my identity and in general loving the hopefulness of that world. I cut my teeth on Starcraft and Warcraft II in middle and high school.

I know people who've gotten tattoos, people who came out because of these games, whole communities and long time friendships that were built. I've written over 200,000 words of fanfic for some of these games. Just look at any blizzcon and how excited people are just being there. Again, I MET MY WIFE IN WOW. These games aren't just games, they were worlds that we grew up on and with.

It's devastating and I don't blame anyone for feeling conflicted. Wasn't as personal with HP but felt the same way for those who were when Rowling turned out to be a horrendous person.
