    Um... what?

    I don't think you understand even your own words.

    Netmobile, which the maker of the mobile autoplay autopathing MMO format you desire, is in Korea. The autoplay format you desire is their technology. This concept was made specifically for mobile MMOs that are played on cellular bandwidth small screen devices. The sort of thing people might play while riding on a subway in Seoul or New York.

    Autopathing, autoplay, etc... is suited to a game a player is mostly watching and then only intermittently playing. It's used in games that are about monetizing microtransations to do things like buy faster pathing, buy fashions, buy levels, but skills, buy basically... short bursts of entertainment. Ideal for players who are too busy to play more in depth games, or lack the space to set up their own gaming area (my family in Korea for example - no one really has a room they can set aside for gaming, and if you just go into a corner and set up your space; it's very anti-social.

    ps: Korean is my second language. I visit Korea regularly.

    I don't just say we don't want that kind of game here... players who have it often really don't want it either... they're just stuck with it from lack of being able to support better options. It's a fallback solution to let you still enjoy gaming when life if too complicated to fully engage.

    It also makes a game super conductive to over-monetization... It's like the gateway... it sets up a format where the objective is no longer engaging gameplay, but visual entertainment.

    As for my "constructive comment": I fully reject this idea. This is NOT the right kind of game for it, and a step towards that direction would only end badly if properly pursued.
