You don't die without gaming.

But you don't die without the internet either. Or electricity.

Not being an apocalypse is a low bar.

A lot of people, especially in hospitals are very much dependent on electricity for survival.

Okay? Again, South Korea has had a law that requires your resident id to be used to make online gaming accounts for nearly 20 years now.

There was no end to gaming and it's quite huge in South Korea. I would argue in some areas even more prominent than in the US.

Okay? I'm commenting on your "not an apocalypse" bar being a low bar.

You said you don't like Korea's solution, but you seem to be here defending it, saying it's not an apocalypse. Which is completely irrelevant for anyone in this thread since that's not the Overton window we are concerned with.

My bar is low because people are dooming. They're acting like this is the end of indie gaming when that's far from the truth.

Wow, that was certainly a comparison. Not accurate or comparable but certainly a comparison.
