Shouldn't be that big of a deal. It's not like they are that into video games in checks notes hoo boy!

I don't think Twitch is a major player for streaming in Korea anyway, and Naver just announced they were going into the space, so it's not surprising that Twitch is bowing out.

I'm surprised Naver isn't already the big streaming platform there already, they're involved in pretty much every other tech market as far as I've heard

S. Korea doesn't need more Naver/Kakao crap dominating the market.
