Gets the best online games.

The government, a decade or more ago, decided to make a strategic investment in broadband service to the country. The result of the government investment, the government restriction against console games (due to trade embargos on Japan from WW2), and the high-density culture resulted in PC games becoming more popular, and in particular, online games.

Well I wanted to share this information to those who gets angry and upset. Anyways this was in an interview with Richard Garriot A.K.A Lord British creator of the supremely popular Ultima series of games, Which he joined NCsoft a while ago.

IN the interview he mainly says that EAST BEATS WEST which I totally agree apon. He sees the future and I'm with him. I'm ridin' on the wagon.

Remember it's cost greats amount of money already to get a MMORPG going we not talking 1 millions we talking MILLIONS AND MILLIONS. It's not easy to develope an MMORPG compatible with all languages. But what I can say is, The people you know helps alot in the industry. May not seem to much but it expands the gaming market for gamers like you and me. Businessmen are pretty good to know.

its because of a big tussle in Eastern world about console systems-bans etc.

the only reason the market is so big is so it can affect china-money around console ban barrier continuously (even though the ban is lifted)

Just wanna point out that picture is irrelevant.

That is Kim Jong Il (if it isnt photoshoped..)
and he is a North Korean.
I dunno what the hell he is doing with a copy of WoW
but most of the games are made in South Korea(Or Japan, China ETC)
Never in North Korea. Didn't even know they allowed internet to civilians there.
