*burst of acknowledgement of long-standing interest

**long neglected because of monetary incentivization (aka corporate greed), a bias towards subscriptions and microtransactions.

I mean, it's South Korea, where 30% of their GDP is Samsung and Hyundai, and an additional 50% is other assorted chaebols. Corporate greed is assumed to be the ONLY interest.

I don't think people realize how huge it is that Lies of P, a single player soulslike with no microtranaactions, came from a Korean developer. The Korean gaming industry does not think games like this can actually succeed because of the gaming culture there. Round8 deserves a lot of praise for what a huge undertaking Lies of P probably was behind the scenes.

Yeah, I remember being shocked to hear Round8 was Korean! I can't think of another Korean game that wasn't a gacha MMO Mobile game.
