Carl Williams writes, "It is no secret that North Korea is slightly behind the times in just about every conceivable measure. There have been wild stories from people that have defected and gotten out of North Korea over the years and apparently, now there is going to be a game that chronicles the powers that Kim Jong-un has, or at least thinks he has. Thanks to Moneyhorse Games, Glorious Leader will hit the PC sometime soon. Read on for the wackyness that ensues in this game."
Marcus Estrada writes: "About two weeks ago (according to the developer) Moneyhorse Games were hacked. This time frame is corroborated by the fact that their own website featured only a single post on December 23rd - an image proclaiming they were hacked. The image also went on to say that these hackers had the information of all Kickstarter backers, the data for Glorious Leader!, and developer's personal information. Such a situation would be terrifying to any developer, let alone a small indie studio."
I'd be legitimately surprised to see a third-world nation what just got a Internet connection back in 2010 to have hacked even an indie studio. Regardless of North Korea's capabilities, though, I won't ever understand why so many American studios INSIST on poking and prodding foreign nations for kicks.
I doubt many would've bought the game, shallow and underhanded as the title sounded. Free speech shouldn't apologize for the hack, but I'm overall disinterested in these uber-patriotic parodies' intent.
Why would you have a network with all your confidential work and information, hooked to the internet? If you were smart you would have a local network with no internet connection. That way you could construct your game without fear of hackers,

This isn't to say that all of these projects are worth your hard earned cash, but with any luck having all of them in one place will make it easier to educate yourself on the projects you'd like to back, and which ones to run from. This week there were 23 to choose from."
