Very happy that @thegamelogicist.bsky.social read my article on game history gentrification and wrote this: https://www.superjumpmagazine.com/the-early-years-of-the-mmorpg-market-in-brazil/
It chronicles the close relationship of Brazilians with Korean MMOs like Ragnarok & Grand Chase, to the point where the devs made an in-game BR city.

Still, to me it's the oposite logic. I think liking "chibi" stuff is common world-wide, the US is the weird place where they replace cute game characters with edgy stuff :P
Na época do Ragnarok a minha bolha tava viciada em servidor pirata de MU com 1,000x drop rate, os famosos "MU louco" hahaha
Na dúvida, eu me detive aos dados oficiais (alguns que não foram fáceis de achar, inclusive), mas é uma crítica válida sim, ainda que seja difícil de mensurar certas coisas.
It's extremely hard to search for things you never heard about. Even the the most personal and seemingly irrelevant story can hint a historian / researcher down a new path of discovery :)
