You have no idea how paranoid some of these Korean parents are: "OMG ITS A FUCKING GUN, NOW YOU'LL USE THAT BB GUN IN YOUR HOUSE TO SHOOT OTHERS. STOP PLAYING NOW" ^generic response to games like Sudden Attack Never knew that rating games required payment, but hey. Look on the bright side. Boxer's on the committee afaik =3 | ||

Counter-Strike's popularity in Korea died when Valve wanted to put a fee that PC bangs had to pay in order to run their games. That is why Korean FPS games like Sudden Attack, Special Force, A.V.A., Black Shot, etc are more popular. In my opinion, they are also clones of Counter-Strike too with the same gameplay/game mode. Besides Counter-Strike, Korean developers have made their own version of Portal and Team Fortress 2, which has been debated on some gaming sites. | ||

Korea has had a long-standing problem corruption and greed in all branches of their governments. Throw in the fact that this regulation committee is probably more private than public would amplify the issue. <= Korean, spent 7 years of childhood there. <= Korean, spent 8 years of childhood there. | ||

Don't argue with the fact that you've lived in Korea one more year than the other poster. 5~6 years is good enough for some people to understand the country's views. But if you really want to argue using numbers, + Show Spoiler + Hi, 9 years here, you 8 years have no experience at all. | ||

Markets are capable of their own censorship, but much less so than big brother in this case. | ||

edit: Oh I think I get it; they can play them, but they just aren't rated so parents and such are getting upset. Read the OP wrong. I think both parties are being pretty immature, but it's more so Valve just being unreasonable. | ||

No, because they have to pay a fee for EVERY game available on Steam, and that's a shitload if you've seen it. Plus with new games coming out every so often..... They might not even make a profit. Greed, this is. Thousands of dollars just for some fucking rating, jesus. Didn't expect even Korea would subscribe to Activision greed. | ||
