Thats fair tbh, but for organization purposes as well as being able to use both sets of vehicles in a lineup are video gamey enough reasons to allow it imo.
Games are played by people and it is the players who desides outcome of games. The players decides this is a good choice or not, not gaijin, nor is it factual sense. Saying people should sacrifice their wills and rights to the country for development is already over 400 years old and Hobbes has no place today: and this is not their country, this is a video game.
Yes gaijin absolutely should. Every country have their right to be represented in a way that does not hurt the feelings of their players. And does gaijin care? Doesnt matter, the wallets of the Korean players will speak themselves. Mind you that it has already proven that foreign games will receive a lot of incomes in Korea: a number of Chinese anime-styled mobile games has already made huge incomes.

Apparently it was planned before 2022! But as I can hopefully prove, not feasible nor reasonable even in gameplay terms

Question do we know what missiles those are?
It is a game that features real life vehicles and hence you cannot exclude politics and nationalism from this game, full stop. Even arma or squad who features partial or entirely fictional nations cannot avoid politics. Gaijin has took the lesson in 2019 and they have been operating much more cautiously. No matter how hard gaijin tries to stop politics into the game there still will be. Blockquote
The vast majority of players arent from sk or japan and likely don’t care. in fact quite a few would be happy to even see SK vehicles in game at all or are happy to use them in a line-up alongside japan.
And no, no one should be forced to bow to any vocal minority. Period. Especially when no one else really cares. Once again the argument comes down to national pride and nothing else and that’s stupid.
And not just that, but a history of conquest on the Korean peninsula going even further back.
Yeah I doubt Gaijin will go into that minefield. In particularly when a large part of their spending playerbase is located outside of Russia.
Try the year before hehe ;)
Anyone remembers that huge break that one update : D
partially true a south korean friend dosent mind in what tech tree south korea goes as long as it comes but there is also other people who would hate it, it really depends
Exactly, I for one would love to see a SK subtree in japan as both countries lack options and they complement each other nicely. I’ve met several SK players who are just happy to see their country’s vehicles in game regardless of where they’re placed.
gaijin would probably get the most hard DDOS attack ever seen due to the ammount of people that are really sensitive in that theme specially since its quite recent and the wound its still there

There are some pointers that they may be getting ready to do just this, all the foldering, end of the T-80 research tree coming coming to a end, the Ukrainian statcard being found in the files all within the same timeframe. Hm idk
Very unlikely
Look at the money sunborn made in 18-19, Korean players played a role keeping a Chinese game company up in its recessions.
Gaijin will care. Korea is one of the highest revenue zones for video games, and doesnt matter what sacrifices will be made - money will roll much more for an independent Korean tree.
not really believe me this happened with other games before and as i said the wound its fresh it would be cheeky to put ukraine as a USSR subtree

I studied in South Korea between 2017 and 2021. I consider the people who can play video games and are rich enough to pay money tends to have a rather dislike to Japan. Not enough to spark major hatred but enough to be not happy when Japan is and China is not involved as a subject of the discussion.
I could very much see negative attention leading to a dip in income for Gaijin. After all their bigger spenders are mostly located in wealthier nations. A lot of which are located in europe and north america, which would have quite an opinion on this.
You’re just blowing it way out of proportion and making it out to be more than it is. I’ve noticed that’s something this community seems to do a lot and after it happens, you hear nothing about it after.
3 blue stripes, so yes. In fact.
