When it comes to pricing, luxury fashion and games may not be so different. As long as there are consumers willing to pay extra for a premium experience, it is that perceived value that could determine the price of a product. WeMade’s Mir 4, despite its notorious pay-to-win system, may prove just that in the local gaming industry. With an intricate storyline and superb graphics, the game is simply irresistible to avid players. Launched on Nov. 25 in South Korea by local game developer

If Anne Frank was not a real person and her diary was merely a work of fiction, would her story resonate as much with readers? As witnessed by Schindler’s List and The Pianist, films based on true stories connect people to the past in a visceral way.

Whoever destroys the opponent’s tank first wins, either by firing artillery shells or pushing it off a cliff. It is also highly ingenious, as Super Tank Blitz allows users to

StoneAge was a popular PC game that was serviced between 2003 and 2015 in Korea where users could collect and tame dinosaur pets. However, not all sequels succeed, as witnessed by X-Men: Dark Phoenix and Men in Black: International. Unfortunately, StoneAge World is one of them. More often than not

Yes, Riot Games’ Valorant is a new game. But is it original? Certainly not. The soon-to-be released first-person shooter game seems like a mishmash of everything users have seen before -- the graphics of Team Fortress 2, the effects of Paladins, the gameplay of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the gun sounds of Sudden Attack and skills that recall Overwatch and Apex Legends. Though it’s undeniable that Valorant was “inspired” by other FPS titles, the game itself is
