Popular games that the whole nation knows are called Nation’s Game, while the games that flopped are called Nation’s Failed Games. 

In Korea, there is no Nation’s Game but there is a Nation’s Failed Game.

About 10 years ago, a certain game was launched.

A mobile RPG game called “Player Master Highschool”, PMH for short. 

The modern times were transformed due to the conflict of two worlds.

Players who possess talent are trained in the Player Master Highschool.

It was a mobile RPG game taking place in the backdrop of the high school that required various characters to clear quests and proceed with the story.

PMH would make headlines from the beginning, even before its release.

It held the record of having the highest development cost and marketing cost in the history of the game industry.

The opening song was sung by a talented singer who dominates the music charts

The commercial song was aired during primetime on cable TV, comprehensive channels, and public channels.

Posters were attached to buses, bus stops, trains, and platform doors.

Throughout the portal site, there were various banner and video advertisements displayed.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that half of the citizens saw PMH’s advertisement.

“I’ve found the game of my life,”

I thought to myself as I was one of the 3 million users who pre-registered.

PMH began its service the day after the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT). 

Since I became free after the CSAT, I started the game along with 3 million users from the first day of service.

However, PMH became a Nation’s Failed Game for life for many gamers.

The game balance was a mess, including its characters, skills, and items.

The bugs in the game weren’t fixed, and it increased in number day by day.

The control difficulty was so terrible and uncertain that it would drive users away from the game, or piss them off.

There was little compensation with the mundane repeating routine that did not have an automated feature.

Not to mention, there was a complete lack of multiplayer features. Except for the command “Request help to other players”, all other features were for single players.

The store was bombarded with reviews with low ratings, and the comments were filled with criticisms and curses.

However, fans who were loyal to the game persisted.

The game had a lot of flaws, but it had good features as well.

Beautiful high-quality illustration.

Character rendering that is similar to the illustration and in-game graphics.

Detailed and attractive character plot.

The loyal fans couldn’t let go of the game.

However, that didn’t last long.

A story plot with no hope destroyed the maniacs’ mentality.
