*The rankings are based on total play time on PC bang computers included in Gametrics' sample.



According to Gametrics ( www.gametrics.com ), Korea's most cited PC bang usage resource, Overwatch came in third place in this week's rankings with a 7.71% share. FIFA Online 3 was the game to lose its spot, dropping to fourth place with a 6.92% share. League of Legends retained #1 for the 198th straight week with a 37.6% share, while Sudden Attack (Korea's most popular FPS) took second place with 15.51%.

Blizzard just announced that 9.7m people played open beta. A huge step up from some thousands in closed beta!



that's part of why i was surprised to see TL and others picking up their teams during the closed beta, though i didn't expect Overwatch to be quite that big. We will see when it comes to sales how well the game does.

Is that relevant when you're at a PC bang? I thought they had paid games pre installed? Is that relevant when you're at a PC bang? I thought they had paid games pre installed?

ATVI would not pour a giant tonne of promo cash into South Korea if the country is "cheap as fawk". Whatever amount of money they are spending i'm sure ATVI execs have a much closer estimate than anyone on this board; therefore their promotional spending in South Korea speaks for itself.
