a terrible news story. any mention of gaming really should have just been left out of that entire story. very basic piece that doesnt really go in-depth on anything. people game and some judgemental people think some people game too much. north korea wants to kill defectors, and is training to hack financial and business institutions. koreans gaming is a bad thing. but it could be a good thing to train people to defend against north korean hackers! | ||

Just another documentary slamming video games. Little more than that. | ||

Mendrea, you believe because a Country does not provide basic essentials such as electricity makes a country not up to par technologically, which makes me laugh. It is quite a likely assumption. A sheer large amount of people working at something makes it easier for talent to emerge. In terms of analogy- countries that are more technologically advanced are more likely to have nobel physics/engineering/etc. winners. Sure, in north korea they have a few elite scientists working hard, but in other countries, there are thousands and thousands. By pure probability, the countries with more people performing certain roles will have the most people good at those roles. releasing a computer virus in an airport terminal is laughably easy. in fact, most companies have pretty trashy security. any college grad could program a virus that could mess with an airport. the thing is, no motive/ sure punishment. Our governments do not even guard their own diplomatic cables closely enough to prevent random people from stealing files and posting them on the internet >.> i had not heard of a virus shutting down major banks though. but yeah, in terms of cyberwarfare, the only way North Korea can do anything is by randomly blindsiding and dealing massive damage to S. Korea, which i doubt they are capable of. After that you don't even need hackers for the theoretical cyberwar lo, S. Korea could literally just brute force hack N. Korea's servers (send a tremendous amount of trash data) | ||

People get addicted to real sports in a harmful way so there's no problem to be a pro-gamer in e-sports or a fan if it doesn't harm your health. | ||
