A $10-20 monthly subscription can probably feed your family for a week or even a month. They sell game cards which gives you a certain number of hours of play or they simply play by how many minutes or hours they can afford to pay the internet cafe attendant. It's the internet cafes buying the games mostly and sometimes pirating it. So yeah, with a tightening economy, those internet cafes are making less due to kids having to show up less, therefore subscription based games suffer. There are exceptions such as people who hold professional jobs of course.

    In the US, most people can easily build Tri-SLI GTX 580s with 1500 watt power supplies on 3 46" monitors and easily pay that monthly subscription off, because that's like a few hours of work at McDonalds or daily lunch money allowance. Even homeless people have internet and cellphones.
    Lol, do you know Korea has like the best Internet Infrastructure in the whole world? Korea is a developed country, not your average Third World country. They didn't buy like half of original Star Craft (4.5 million out of total 9.5 million) just for show you know. I think you're confused North Korea with South Korea.

    Yeah, they are the most MMO addicted country in the world. Developed or not, the average person in Asia do not compare to America. Just because this so so company acts like a big shot, doesn't mean every person in Korea is rollin in dough, because if they did, we wouldn't see so many Free to Play MMOs.
