Why didn't they replace Japan in the video game market like what was done elsewhere?

They have their own vidya market, it's just mostly consumed in Korea.
The only one that ever had success outside Korea was Gunz - TheDuel.
God i miss those times.
Landon Peterson
They took the mobile and mmo meme too hard and it ruined almost everything for them.
Ryan Reyes
MapleStory too
Zachary Cook
They're nonexistent in the console market.
Liam Nelson
Also Grand Chase, they just released for Steam now, neat.
Jace Price
GunZ: Remastered when?
Caleb Brown
There was a female cult running the country for a while, and they made sure it didn't happen.
Juan Watson
Japanese indie scene is inexistant so I guess Koreans are better in that regard
Justin Lewis
You can still play on private servers, maybe one day they'll do the same as Grand Chase and release on Steam.
Oliver Hill
Non-existent

Consoles are too expensive to own or sometimes flat out banned too I think, over there. PC and mobile gaming is all they really got. The irony is they actually had potential to have a really good PC market if they left the MMO scene alone. Koreans actually understand the PC market and what fans want better than Japan struggling just to port 1 game to the PC.

Nexon is the third most valued games company in the world.

>Consoles are too expensive to own
Yeah coz the modern PC's they use instead are so cheap.

I never heard of Gunz, but when I was a kid on the Japanese internet in the early 2000s, the big game everyone was clamouring over was Ragnarok Online.
Thomas Adams
Ragnarok, Gunz and Grand Chase was the gook holy trinity back in the 2000's.
Gunz was fun as fuck.

Gravity made Arcturus which was such a big deal, it revived Falcom from its grave so they could continue with Ys and Trails. However, after Arcturus, Gravity made Ragnarok Online with the same engine, and that game made them filthy rich and also solved the piracy problem that was rampant in South Korea (China had its own piracy problem that was only solved recently with Steam and gacha games).

>Japanese indie scene is inexistant
what the fuck are you talking about?
who do you think makes the hundreds of doujin games?
Kayden Edwards
Do they do anything else that isn't coomerbait?
The only Japanese attempt of genuine modding i ever were Uboa Maps on SvenCoop.
Daniel Gonzalez
>flat out banned too I think, over there.
Who the fuck told you this?
Gavin Roberts
There's a shit-ton of all age doujin games. The biggest one being the Touhou series by Zun.
If you are able to masturbate to Zun's art, then you deserve a medal and a handshake.
Charles Kelly
I remember reading that they have/had strict consoles laws over there which is why I said "I think".
Evan Butler
This, there was no reason to butcher KuF like they did
Anthony Morales
That's what i said, they only do coomershit that are flavor of the month and then move to the next.
Henry Carter
They had restrictions on when minors were able to access video games, typically just overnight hours and it wasn't just limited to consoles. The law was abandoned a year or two ago. They never "banned" anything. You must not think very often or well if you somehow reached this conclusion.
Logan Hall
So exactly like the indie scene in the west? I have seen more threads with the indie menhera game than omori.
John Butler
So this is coomershit to you?
Joshua Green
I can hear "Go! For the lost world"
Henry Wright
I have heard they are bug people. Can anyone confirm?
