Are Online Video Games Not Very Popular In Africa? by Saffron887: 9:25am On Jul 09, 2022
Whenever I play any online video game, Africans from outside Northern Africa or the nation of South Africa are extremely rare.

Why is this? Statistics show that many Africans have internet. For example, even though only 69% of Nigerians have internet access, that still means 136 million people!

Are there any online video games that ARE popular in Africa?

my main problem is the games that make you go out of your way to play them online. I'm not even taking about the subscriptions, I'm talking about something as simple as making a profile in the game. they don't have nigeria, so you will have to make an account based on a different region, and its a gigantic headache to even pay for those services due to thing like our debit cards not being accepted or the limit imposed by our banks.

MTN is manageable Download speed is good. Latency is manageable just connect always using Ethernet cable.
