ELI5:Why do international phone calls cost so much when communicating with international servers on the Internet is not?

Why does it cost me an arm and a leg to call from Korea but I can play a game from a Korean server for the same price as one in my neighborhood?  Are people just not demanding this from their phone carriers?

Phone companies don't care about you or about what you want or about what you need or about what you like. What they care about is the best way to bend you over the counter and fuck you for every single one of your dollars. Net neutrality? Maybe if you buy it. Gigabit internet? No one wants that. VoIP? We can't charge extra for phone calls if you do that.
