Title: Japanese Members?
Post by: Retsof on May 16, 2008, 10:15:52 pm

I am rather surprised that we seem to have no Japanese members.  We have people from pret'near everywhere else.  I  mean heck, the titles on my FS2 CDs are in Japanese (at least that's what it looked like).  Opinions? Enlightenments?

They probably have their own forums or so forth over in Japan if the game is still alive over there.
Japan has a extremely high turnover rate for games and electronics (get board move on)... and not necessarily
is the space game business dead there either... might not be their cup of tea too.

Mobile gaming and Nintendo have the market over there... so I wouldn't be surprised to see PC games
with a tiny market share of users. Korea though... loves their StarCraft... so they have lots of PC gaming.

India has issues with getting places to connect to the net, much less computers.

I'm not sure if anyone remembers this, but a Japanese guy used to make Ship models for FS2 back in the day, mostly Terran ships. He was pretty good at it too.

Other than that... can't remember much else.
