North Korea is a really shitty situation. It seems like it they rely on aid to keep themselves going. Kill the aid, the regime falls apart. But this is a terrible solution considering that people will starve and die. War is the same way. The country is already in terrible shape; anything catastrophic is going to take a huge toll on the population.

The only way to go forward is to start developing the economy and slowly doing away the dictatorship. Considering how comfortable the leadership is basking in gold while the population barely gets by makes me think that the ruling family is not willing to risk losing power. Not considering that any economic progress possibly undermines the elite.

Also from what I understand, pirating really hurts the little guys the most. The people who put a massive amount of work into a game as a small group and are hoping that some of the return from app stores will help them keep their studio together.

I mean you are forcing these game companies to reship the same crappy game each year with a plethora of paid DLC because there's no money in selling actual good games anymore

This is very true, and the quality of games has also fallen off a cliff. On mobile its hard to find a game that isn't some kind of clone or one that basically unplayable without paying for every little thing. I've effectively given up on mobile games as entertainment because while there are some good ones, I am tired of playing the same game over and over gain. It seems like a lot of companies have shifted into the "Be as safe as possible" mode, which means they are much more willing to clone a successful game than to risk introducing something completely new.

Where do you see the market going? It seems like we are already over run by f2p games that just beg you for money (atleast on mobile). This can't get any worse can it?
