It's the same as the reason a lot of people don't know that all of these Korean MMOs that are being translated and supported by English speaking publishers have been out in Korea for 3-5 years already.

    If the English forums were really so quiet and behind, compared to non-English speaking forums on gaming news, it could only either mean that there are very few games in English, or absolutely no English speakers are competent enough to run a gaming news website.
    onRPG has a pretty active population of foreign language game gamers. It's one of the most active sections, actually :P A lot of us already learn new languages to play them, too. Or rely heavily on those that have.

    You know what mister or miss D:<..... I... was unaware of this, and am quite glad that you told me. I will look into this section, as you have piqued my interest. Although I still maintain the part about the impossibility of English speaking forums being so far behind that you'd have no choice but to learn a new language :P

    Off Topic, your title is named after my ex-girlfriend so I demand you get 28 more posts naow! >.>
