It's the one user they pay for playing just so they can say that people have access to gaming in North Korea.

You're suggesting Kim Jong Un doesn't play video games all day also?

Look, Kim had a busy day, one his best pals has been trying to start WW3 for 3 years, and the other just got attacked by someone trying to start WW3 too. He had to check if the bunker was adequately supplied with an assortment of snacks and energy drinks.

Whole lotta WWIII stuff going on these days! Good thing there's no egomaniac with unchecked power, a cult following of blind worshipers, and access to nuclear weapons! I mean my god! Could you imagine what todays series of events could lead to, if, oh I don't know, such a person were forced by term limits to give up power, but he didn't want to? That would be a nightmare! The amount of destruction could lead to a civil war, which would keep that nation out of WWIII. The amount of destruction and human lives lost would TRUMP WWI and WWII combined!

I sure hope we never see a situation like THAT arise in 3 and a half years!

(That's called foreshadowing)

You will not, as a rule, run across many players from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea

The website is annoying AF...

Shows privacy popup in the beginning, after scrolling down some time, the next popup comes... And when you the press the back button on your phone, they overwrite the logic to show one more popup before allowing you to leave.
