    Default Why are Koreans so hardcore at gaming?

    I mean a lot of them can stay up till like days to play online games and I always wonder how they endured the grind. I mean in different countries we would say that "OOOO Maplestory is so grindy and stuff" but in Korea the grindsystem is like normal to them.

    I mean a lot of them don't sleep and spent like thousands of dollar in Internet cafe each months.

    Aspiring-to-be gold farmers?
    I don't know, like the other guy said, might not be much else to do in Korea. I mean, it's Korea.

    Well I think ANYONE can stay up till days to play online games.
    And I guess i'm the few of the koreans that isn't a hardcore gamer.

    Ooh, and they do have a starcraft channel in Korea Lol.
    But we don't only specialize in games, but also in sports. Soccer and baseball.
    Bboy!!!!!!

    ...just a minor user who live in Korea, and born in Korea.
    as I see here, boys here make games as their unique gossip subject.
    for example, "I met a whole newbie on this game, and he sucks.." or so.

    have you heard of PCrooms in Korea?
    they are everywhere. it's not any exag though I say 1/20 the city is PCrooms.
    you might not understand why they spend money and time in this mean place,
    but when you use this place for once, you'll understand everything.

    Try ordering some snacks while playing computer in PCroom.
    I'm sure you'll stay there for like... at least 24 hours.
    this is called "ADDICTION"


    as I said, I'm just a minor user who live in Korea, and born in Korea...

    There is also a gaming stadium in Korea, and a e-games sports league. The stadium looks nice too, where various gaming events are held almost daily. Beat that.

    Korean culture probably just pushes people harder. Never been to Korea so I can't really say.
