    Damn I didn’t know it was 10x the cost. Crazy how a company that size still can’t handle the fees.

      No need. Asian countries are not blocked from using Twitch. It’s just Twitch won’t have local business in Korea now.

      This’ll probably happen, anyone wanting to watch or stream on Twitch will probably just go through the Japanese servers. But Twitch isn’t that popular in Korea anyways, most of the Korea-based streamers on the platform have large foreign audiences.

      What’s funny is Korean VPNs would be paying the fees to the ISPs instead, lol. ISPs still get their money.

      Are you trolling? Korea has a 97% literacy rate and is in the top 20 of best educated countries in the world.
