Unlike my prejudice against (online) game, after I read this article, I had a chance to consider a good point of game, especially the interconnectedness of the online game. So far I've heard about some dangers of hacking or invasion of privacy caused by interconnectedness of online game community, but as the writer said, 'this immediate reaction to the crime points to the interconnectedness of the video game community', and this was an example showing that online game could have a good effect.
