Gamers and non-gamers alike: What's your opinion on this video?

Girlfriend Deletes Boyfriend’s World of Warcraft characters

Basically it’s just as the title describes: Boyfriend leaves to get some cigarettes before a night of raiding, girlfriend logs in and deletes a few of his higher level characters.

The bits I’d like to throw in: What really interests me is that we know absolutely nothing about this couple or his characters. He could be a true addict who spends 18 hours a day playing while neglecting everything else, or she could be jealous of a hobby he spends one night a week doing. We don’t know how long this has been going on, or what’s been done before hand.

A note for non-gamers: Unlike most other video games, World of Warcraft can’t be “beaten” in a matter of hours. Players can spend months, if not years, building and perfecting their character. It’s possible this guy has just lost over 1000 hours of time, if not much more. Also, the characters are stored on the WoW servers, not the computer, so uninstalling the game would have only inconvenienced him for a very short time and may not of even phased him.

My question is: What are your thoughts? Did she overstep a boundary or do him some good? How would you react?

Yes, I know it could very well be a setup by the couple for some internet chuckles, but that wouldn’t be a very fun discussion, would it?
