Videopelaaminen voi pelastaa hengen. Redditöijä tidyckilla kertoi, että hän ja muu perhe pelastuivat tulipalosta, joka alkoi yöllä klo 02.26. Kirjoittaja itse oli vielä valveilla, koska halusi pelata Starfieldia.
Iltamyöhään valvominen ja videopelien pelaaminen voi olla myös hyödyllistä.
"On the night of august 31st I decided to stay up and play as long as possible to experience this new universe. At 2:26 in the morning, while playing the game, I heard an explosion from my downstairs neighbors apartment. I paused my game to see what was happening. When I opened the door I saw flames rising up our stairwell to our apartment. I immediately got my wife and cat, rushing us to safety with only minor burns. If I hadn't been up bingeing Starfield I would have been asleep and we would have all died to smoke inhalation. I want to thank this game from saving my family and me from a horrible fate."
