@PixelAddict @lumbergoose I think it's just that shooters get the most coverage on sights like this. I think if you went through this years releases you would find much more variety. Maybe the biggest releases are shooters but most of them aren't meeting their sales targets so I doubt that trend will last.
@ExtremePhobia @lumbergoose @LesserAngel Nope, I live in S. Korea. They use their social security numbers to register for almost everything. And apparently there is a way to type in a number and see if someone is of age (for bars and whatnot). But they also verify when someone tries to use your S.S. number via a text message. So I don't think there is much fraud (but I don't really know).
@LesserAngel Almost every game in Korea requires you to sign up with your Korean Social Security Number, so they know who you are and how old you are. So the games just block you if you are too young and try to play them during the lockout hours. However, PSN never required the social security number. So they had to shut down to comply with the law.
@mulac2910 You might not have liked FF13 but 6 million people bought it. I think that's about the same as all three of the games you mentioned sold. So Square Enix is following what people are buying.
