    how did this turn from comparing ktera's super stingy set up to our generous one into discussing cultural differences?

    Because those cultural differences can and often do have a direct impact on how the game itself behaves. Refer back to the first post.

    In a broader sense, those same differences can also impact how the franchise as a whole is handled. Let's look at a game I've been playing a lot recently: Valkyrie Drive -Bhikkhuni-. In addition to the game itself, there is an anime (it's standalone, but certain things make more sense in the game if you watched it), but there is also at least one companion manga, drama CDs, so on and so on. The kicker? Most if not all of that is exclusive to Japan. Here in the US, all we have is the standalone anime and the game (maybe you can get the soundtrack if you know where to look) because the company behind it don't think the rest of us care about that stuff.

    So there you have it.

    It's also pretty hilarious how you think 'these people are screwed over more than us, therefore we should be happy' is a logical argument. There's always someone in the world who has it worse; just because they're screwed over x10 it doesn't mean being screwed over x5 is justifiable.

    So no one would be willing to prove to me how easy it is? Gee what a surprise.

    Forget it , people on this forum are stubborn af , they will never understand it.

    Important thing to consider here is that in korea gaming is looked upon positively and very differently than the rest of the world. They take gaming seriously. For example, where I live, gaming is treated in a very negative manner. It feels like you are committing some kind of sin if you play video games. People will look down on you and treat you worse than some drug addict or rapist.

    To go on with that, in KR games is similar to how sports and academics are in the US. In Korea for example some students judge each other over how skilled they are at League and some food services in Asia offer discounts based on your League rank too... The West on a large scale sees games as a way to just pass time like any hobby, or to watch others play seriously. It will take a while being taking games seriously in the West is seen more positively. For many years games were bashed and seen as bad, and while that doesn't happen as often it's because they focus on gamers instead and how "bad" we are because games negatively influence us, or so they say. Thankfully a lot of gamers are going to be older and are raising up a generation that start gaming at a young age though.

    Wow, I didn't know the part about skilled gamers in Korea getting respect among their peers, and even discounts on purchases. That's pretty cool.

    Hopefully western culture starts having this kind of attitude towards gamers in the future. Especially with the rise of esports, it's getting more and more ignorant to think that people shouldn't take games seriously.

    Because it's barely relevant in a korean society.. there is definitely a better opportunity in korea to become a 'professional gamer' but that doesn't mean being good at games will get you to places you couldn't in any other country otherwise. it's a small demographic and shouldn't be extrapolated to the extent that gaming gives you a certain status outside of the gaming environment. a student being good at league is not going to get him a desk at an office.

    They're nowhere on the map if they can't afford to spend hundreds of USD on enchanting their virtual gear.

    The biggest of the biggest difference is the community that doesn't want to grind simple things.
