Uh, really. High-profile has nothing to do with popularity among gamers or quality. I didn't say "best", I didn't say "most beloved", and I didn't say "Let's be jerks in the comment section."

Man, his act got real old real fast.
In the thumbnail I thought it was a kazoo.
Yep. As dude said above, it sold well- but not nearly as well as expected. For perspective, Atari also produced more cartridges of the original Pac-Man 2600 port than there were consoles in existence at the time- again, due to market demand that they expected to exist.
There are only a handful of people I know, men or women, that play games as I play them. And that's certainly no demographic sample, since my "methodology" for choosing friends is by definition subjective. I would assume the same is true for you.
We've all been dying since the 90s.
As a software developer since the age of 12 (as a hobby first, not child labour) I've always loved innovative games for the mechanics "behind the curtain." I think this makes me tend to favour games a lot of people don't, or dislike games that are mostly visual fluff behind a basic set of recycled game mechanics.
I enjoy the odd poke at this idiot as much as the next guy. And yeah, it's funny to see him when he was a little cunt. But, I feel that the eye roll and shrug of "oh, North Korea" is really starting to numb people to how much of a monster he is.
