Online Game Craze Still Sweeping South Korea
from the still-going... dept
It appears the associated press has just now discovered that people in South Korea are absolutely addicted to the online game Lineage. This isn't new. It's been going on for quite some time. What's surprising to me is that it's continued to last all this time. I was wondering if, after a certain point, people would get tired of Lineage and move onto other games, or other hobbies. However, it appears they're just as addicted as ever. Update: Meanwhile, back in the US, as E3 gets under way, game developers are worried (especially following the less-than-stellar launch of "sure thing" The Sims Online) that their "sure thing" games won't succeed. Update again: Beyond just online gaming, it appears that South Koreans are really embracing getting their news online - often viewing alternative sources. Of course, this has some (especially in the newspaper business) worried, as they complain that people are believing all sorts of stuff they find online that isn't very reliable.
