Just my 2 cents, but in an online smartphone that I play, I notice that koreans are 10 times more fanatical than any other demographic. They seem to have ridiculous amounts of time to play the game on their hands and they take it extremely seriously and are very very competitive. The only other group that I saw that came close were Taiwanese people. The westerners in the game seem a lot less addicted and competitive.
- pcr910303 7y ago> They seem to have ridiculous amounts of time to play the game on their hands Maybe due to public transportation? I've heard (but have never been confirmed) that the US/other western countries have poor public transportation system and is very car-centric. People here spend a big fraction (there are lots of people who spend ~2-3 hrs) in public transportation, and a big chunk of those people are playing mobile games. > they take it extremely seriously and are very very competitive. Maybe Korea (& the East Asian countries in general) turns out to have a more competitive culture than the western world. > The westerners in the game seem a lot less addicted and competitive. I wouldn't call people 'addicted' just for the reason that they spend lots of time & is competitive in mobile games, but maybe that's also something coming from a cultural difference.
- patrickk 7y agoHaving very fast LTE everywhere also likely adds to the issue. Even in other rich countries, that is not the case (e.g. in rural areas or on underground trains) so you cannot spend all your time consuming bandwidth heavy applications like video.
