You probably just reminded him he had to go to court too.

Correction, its not that big of a deal, period. This is the beta, stats do not matter and will not matter until July 27. However, even after that date this will be funny...
If they are so dumb they don't know they can unpause the game, they deserve to lose. I would have at least looked for a way to unpause it before leaving.
This is like I think it was gifted or gradius using a ton of hallucinated stalkers early game and they said gg and left before they could realize they were just hallucinations.
Please stop the spread of Mass Effect!!!

during the first week of beta, if your ally left during the loading screen - his base would not exist but he would still be on your team...on the list that is.
So I started a random 2v2 and my ally dropped....so it was 1v2 and i got eliminated...but the game continued...I realized the game would not end until my ally was eliminated, but he could not because he does not exist on the playing field, only on the player list.
So I went AFK and came back 5 hours, I unpaused the game and used my ghost I had to run around. The other guy actually repaused the game...looks like we were both starving for a win.
Ironically, that same night was a patch night (this was like the first week or so...they had a patch pretty fast) so I got a message that B.net will shut down. I held on tight and wondered what would happen. The game just "paused" indefinitely and the game was never recorded on my account...so it basically never happened cause I waited out until B.net shut down. hahahah

Why are so many people calling this guy dumb? I'm sure he realized he could unpause. What if he simply did not feel like being a 'jerk' so to speak, and finish off an opponent that wasn't playing but was at court? Maybe he didn't know he was winning?
Either way, I think he just didn't feel like taking an 'unfair win' or 'waiting 3 hours' to finish the game. Otherwise he would've just said screw you, unpaused, and steamrolled.

Seconded. There is no way someone playing the Beta of a game in 2010 does not realize that a game that can be paused online can also be unpaused.
That's what makes the OP feel guilty (as I see it). The other guy was actually trying to be a decent person over the internet. Little did he know the cause didn't call for it.
Think of it this way Sins: the only thing that guy knows is that he did something nice. So not only do stats not matter in Beta, but in all likelihood you probably made him feel better about himself. And from the sound of it, he IS a decent guy, so... WIN-WIN!![]()
