Online games are rocking our world with their unprecedented moves. Fortnite stole the limelight by organizing a World Cup. According to the official data, 40 million players from 30 different countries involved in the cut-throat competition for 10 weeks to seal a place in winners’ chart. The gaming giant showered a whopping amount of $30 million on the winners. Jaden Ashman was one of them.

The 15-year-old boy from Essex (U.K.) was all crazy about the online games. He used to spend a major chunk of his time playing the digital games. The teenager was so engrossed in his passion that his studies got buried under the weight of games. As a result, his grades struck the bottom line. His mother, Lisa Dallman was quick enough to see the decline in his performance in academics. She grew tensed about it and decided to take up the matter with him. The duo fell in a heated argument which raged Lisa to a great extent. In that fit of rage, she threw his Xbox out.
