Deep Rock Galactic Inspired Player to Mine in Real Life

The game has literally changed BulkDetonator's life.

Ghost Ship Games

There are games that are so impactful that they make players rethink their whole lives and start anew. Deep Rock Galactic became such an experience for Redditor BulkDetonator, who was so inspired by it that he became a real miner.

"About three years ago, I was at my lowest. Dead end job that barely provided for my family and self-esteem/outlook in the dirt. Then I found this funny little dwarf game and the incredible community surrounding it. A few months later, I saw a job listing for rock drill training/explosive mining. 'Huh, wouldn't it be funny to do the video game thing IRL?' I thought."

And everything worked out for him: BulkDetonator lost 100lbs, improved self-esteem, and became much happier – all thanks to Deep Rock Galactic.

"Deep Rock Galactic, and all of you, literally saved my life," the miner confessed. "To Ghost Ship Games, and to all you beautiful dwarves, I raise a beer to all of you. I would not be living my best life if not for this game."

This reminds me of that wholesome story when a player's mom became a Skyrim alchemist with a whole list of ingredients and recipes.
