Can North Korea sell their games on Steam?
The thought just came to my mind and I started to wonder why they haven't.I'm sure that a lot of people are gonna buy em if they put as much excessive propaganda into the video game as they do on their tv channels.

So are they not allowed to do it coz technically they're still at war with US?

i would imagine the US would highly discourage steam from doing so

As far as I know the US isn't officially at war with North Korea..The latter is however still at war with the south since a peace agreement never happened, so you could say the US is at war with North Korea by proxy since South Korea is an ally of the US.

Anyways, I doubt north koreans even have access to steam considering their strong censorship of the internet in general

Everything in North Korea is serious business. What a rotten country. One can only pity the people.

Can you imagine playing a game in NK when it's not just possible but even likely that your choices will be uploaded to Big Brother?

They probably could if they bowed down before the WTO.

That's just nonsense American propaganda.The North Koreans have both their own domestic video games and arcade machines imported from Japan/China.

They also hav 4gbps intra-net so they can play browser games online.

Since I can't know the objective truth, I must go with the things I have gathered so far. Also, I didn't say they have bad Internet, I'm saying that if they are observed doing something out of line and the authorities find out, they end up in a forced-labor camp.

The US can't have fast internet speed due to monopolies and anti competitive laws when it comes to ISPs and phone services.

Singapore, North Korea, China, South Korea all have internet speed above 2gbps.
