When our governments start giving a shit about online cheating in video games, then I’ll agree with you. As it stands, it’s hard enough to even get most western governments to take the games industry seriously at all and offer incentives, visa support or tax breaks to development studios.

I never said Korea was a bad place. I actually love it and I would quite happily live there. I also often think that the way Japan perceives Koreans and Korean culture is unfair (incidentally, so does my Japanese partner).

Well it’s being developed in UE4 IIRC so it should be fairly scalable. I’m not sure if there was a console exclusivity arrangement made between Yu Suzuki and PlayStation though.

I’m using this website and writing posts on it. I’d say my ability to read is kind of a given at this point.

I didn’t say they could only do one thing at a time. I said they have multiple serious social, security and economic issues atm, all of which are undeniably more important than legally pursuing people who cheat in games.

When the country’s previous president is currently in the dock facing possible jail time, senior citizens are turning to prostitution to make ends meet and there’s a rogue nuclear state just 30 miles north of Seoul, yes I’d say they have bigger things to worry about than a couple of sad bastards cheating at Overwatch.

The way the Kickstarter was done was extremely weird IMHO but regardless I don’t think you can expect any more from it than you can from any other crowd-funded product tbh.

Well to be fair it’s being developed by a small team and the only ‘pre-orders’ that exist right now are those belonging to campaign backers. It’s perfectly reasonable IMHO and let’s not forget that it’s being made in a country that isn’t really accustomed to indie development as well.

I’ll be honest, I forgot it was supposed to come out this year and I was one of the first 1,000 Kickstarter backers. I don’t think I ever really expected to see it before 2018 or 2019 tbh.

That country has far bigger problems than this and would really be better off focusing its legal attention elsewhere.

It’s Blizzard. Their core business model is titles that make you hate both the game and yourself at the same time but people persevere with them to prove something to themselves.

And that is why I quit this fucking game. It’s been 2 months now and my only regret was not knocking it on the head sooner.

I had early access to it as I was a preview program user back then. I think I maybe used it twice and haven’t touched it again since. I even re-bought RDR when it was added to the list but never got around to playing it.

Brought to you from the country that also gave the world this:

2097 was so awesome. I actually really liked the PSP iterations as well actually.

That’s the version I have. Tbh the slip cover isn’t anything too spectacular. I actually prefer the shiny silver cover underneath it.

Is it just me who really wants to try this? I take it it’s limited to Chinese only and is only available on one of those crazy malware-ridden app stores they have there.

I’m exactly the same way as you but traditionally a lot of mobile devices in Japan and Korea included TV tuners so it was possible to watch regular TV on a mobile device, although it’s becoming far less popular these days.

They do but they are often of nowhere near the quality you will find in Europe or North American homes. Japanese houses aren’t built to last and people in apartment/mansion complexes aren’t usually permitted to start wall mounting stuff.

In any case, if you’re a single person in their 20's or 30's and living in a…

You have to put it into context. Most young Japanese these days live with their parents, in a small shared living space or a single dorm room-like dwelling. There isn’t really the space available to house some 60" western style flat screen monstrosity and therefore it’s much easier and more economical for them to just…
