Summary
- North Korea has had a single person using Steam since 2013.
- Their dot on Steam's satellite map disappeared this week, which led to thousands of people wondering where they'd gone.
- The dot has since returned, but where they went and what they've been playing for the past decade and a bit remains a mystery.
We don't know much about North Korea's gaming habits. For the most part, its residents are only allowed to play consoles and games developed within North Korea's borders. However, since 2013, there has been a single Steam user in North Korea's capital city, and the mysterious game🐈r has gone viral ag🐽ain after they disappeared.
includes a satellite view of the world with yellow dots that represent where Steam is being used. Parts of the world𝔉 where Steam users are plentiful, like the US and Europe, are pretty much solid yellow blocks. Northern Canada and central Australia, where people are fewer andꦏ farther between, have far less dots. Then there's North Korea which, since 2013 when these satellite records began, has just one dot.

That dot could be a building, or it could be a single person. Whoever it is, people have been watching it and theorizing as to what🤡 they might be playing for over a decade. That's why, when the dot disappeared, people noticed. shared a shot of the satellite map on , popping a red ci🅰rcle around North Korea to highlight that the dot has disappeared.

Then They Came Right Back, But Where Did They Go?
That sparked new theories about why the North Korean suddenly stopped gaming after, at least, 12 years, but don't worry, they weren't gone for long. As pointed out by , an updated satellite map is now available, and the dot in Pyongyang is back. In fact, the site claims that the dot has disappeared fro𝄹m time to time before now, and this was just the first tim🐈e anyone noticed. Clearly we need to be keeping a closer eye on Steam's solitary North Korean dot.

Now that they're back, people are in🐻terested to know where they went. However, due to the nature of North Korea and how little the rest of the world knows about the nation and its residents, we might never know why it﷽s only Steam user briefly stopped gaming. Maybe there was an internet outage in Pyongyang, or maybe they just needed a break. All gamers need to stretch their legs and take a screen break now and again.
I'd love to know what exactly they've been playing on Steam. We occasionally learn about what gamers in the Vatican have been playing, so the North Korean Steam stats must be out there somewhere. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3 made headlines when its devs revealed two people in 🍸Vatican City were playing it🌳 on Steam, and then 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Cult of the Lamb did the same as someone fired it up in the holiest place on Earth right after the po♑p✃e passed away.
