A user of gaming software Steam posted an image online showing the user heat map of people around the world playing on the server.

When they zoomed in, it shows one dot signaling a single person playing in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang.

They posted the image on Reddit and picture-sharing site Imgur under the caption: "You could be gaming with Kim Jong-un right now and not know it".

Internet users speculated tubby tyrant Kim could be responsible for the single dot because he's the likeliest person to be able to get access such networks from North Korea.

The secretive state is infamous for controlling every aspect of its citizens lives from haircuts to what films they watch.

People were quick to make jokes at Kim's expense over his possible love of gaming.

One person wrote: "Post apocalyptic world: 'How did all of this chaos begin..?' 'It's all because little Tommy in Cleveland couldn't resist telling a dictator... he took his mother to pound town last night'".

Another said: "'Supreme Leader, you're late fo-' 'I TOLD YOU THIS GAME CAN'T BE PAUSED!!'".

Fresh fears emerged recently that Kim is planning a festive purge of disloyal people.

He pledged to wipe out the "weak" during a sinister Christmas conference.
