Didn't Eric write some software to teach someone to read Korean or something to that effect?  Can't get Taldren's software page to confirm this, but remember this from some time ago.

The guy above was bad mouthing the code for the peer to peer and server connections.  Guess they can't take someone spouting off even if they are totally off-base.   Of course someone from Taldren had time to read the thread and delete something from it, but would not respond to the thread and its question itself, lol.

The following appeared at  Gamasutra
Quote:


Korean Game Industry Forecasts 47% Growth 2002-2005

In a forecast issued by Korea's Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Korea Game Development Institute, the game market in that country is forecasted to grow to 5 trillion won ($4.2 billion) in 2005. Note the sharp growth curve in that country's game industry: the game market grew 13% to 3.4 trillion won in 2002, it is expected to reach 4 trillion won this year, 4.5 trillion in 2004, and 5 trillion the following year.

In particular, the mobile games market is expected to jump dramatically in Korea, due to the country's widespread use of wireless services. Forecasts have it reaching 380 billion won by 2005.

Online gaming, one of the crown jewels in the country's game industry, is also expected to see tremendous growth. Companies in this segment increased their revenues by 69 percent from 2001 to 2002, reaching 450 billion won. That is expected to double by 2005, to 900 billion won.

Korean game makers accounted for 1.7 percent of worldwide game market revenues in 2002, but when looking at just at the online game segment, Korean companies carved out a 6.7 percent share.



Food for thought.

I think I read somewhere that they have TV shows that follow top 'pro' players as they play computer games against each other, like it was a soccer match...

I know that they rent stadiums equiped with large screen TVs and also broadcast StarCraft and Broodwar tourneys.

So, yes, you could compare their interaction with PC gaming to that of America's interaction with "Pro" sports.
