According to Chinese newspaper The Peopleās Daily, a 25 year-old married woman named QianQian met a man called Qinmou while gaming online (the paper doesnāt specify the game) last August. At first their relationship was innocuous, with Qinmou giving her in-game items and helping her.
Eventually, they met and started a real-life affair. But by late last year, QianQian wanted to break up. She had fallen in love with another player.
Qinmou, 24, became jealous and threatened to release a sex tape they made together if QianQian didnāt pay him the equivalent of nearly US$8,000āapproximately US$3,100 of it was for emotional pain, and approximately $4,700 was for the in-game gear and support.
QianQian wrote him a check, and then went to the authorities. Qinmou, whoās unemployed, was picked up for extortion. Game over.
