Local Gamer Upset His In-Game Charity Doesn’t Count as Community Service

Local gamer, Lucas Fields, was bewildered to discover that his 36-hours of gameplay saving the world and all its citizens from the forces of evil didn’t meet the requirements of community service and was therefore rejected from his resume in a class overview.

“I really just don’t understand why it isn’t considered community service,” said Lucas Fields, “I helped a community. It was my time. So what if they were digital people, I still helped them and didn’t just rob and kill them all like everybody else does!”

In this, Fields isn’t wrong, a recent study found that 87% of gamers will usually use their time in a game as a free pass and abandon morals,  making Field’s adherence to the law and dedication to community service greater than most. Unfortunately, his professor didn’t see this argument as a valid one and insisted that Fields remove his digital chivalry from his official resume and portfolio.

When asked when he found the time to aid this digital community, Fields admitted that he usually dedicates his weekends to this service. “Yeah, I had just started the game Saturday morning when my roommates went out to some Big Event or something, I guess they thought socializing was more important than helping people.”
