Every now and then I see some right wingers people complaining there's no "games for them" (personally I think not playing a game because it doesn't fit your exact ideology is a bit stupid but that's beside the point), but wouldn't it be possible for studios focusing on these to exist?
There's things like this for movies, books and music and they are much bigger than they used to be, touching all type of genre and style. Why wouldn't it be possible for a game studio like this to be made if it works for movie, books and music?
The only reason would be that the people with money in these spheres hate video games. But why is that? I don't think it's the case for the other political sides, it's very strange to me.

all devs are liberal left wing homos. its not hard to grasp

Games are so expensive that the only games with hot chicks are live service MTX slop. Now imagine what a full on conservative game would need to bring in to justify the expense.

Amerimutt detected.
Your leftoids / liberals / wokefags only care about virtue signaling, and suck at game design, art and writing.

why do you think that is?

But that's stupid to say, not only it's wrong but nothing is stopping people or even you to make games.
If a rich guy would want to, they could make a game studio

Can focus on AA, though this doesn't really stop movies, especially today, they are getting enormous budget, same for their music industry.

I think it's because the west coast cities become the entertainment hub, so the big game studios tend to be located there, and the people there tend to be left-leaning. I feel the same about TV and movies. There's games, movies, and shows with right wing sensibilities coming out but they are from studios much smaller than the WestCoast cities so they get drowned out.

Often times, games also try to emulate movies which are dominated by Hollywood, resulting in Cali-coded writing, even by devs who don't care one way or the other. They're just emulating the big movies or current big shows.

Not possible. Video games are an inherently commercial medium, and while it's technically possible to release a video game outside of the existing ecosystem it's simply not viable in the same way music or books are.
It's not even just right wing stuff either. For over a decade from mid-90's to early 10's pornographic games were in the same situation where they had to exist entirely separate from the rest of video games, just have a look at the difference in audience reach and profitability between then and now.
You could always try of course. It's another question entirely whether the audience you're chasing actually exists at all, it's the same issue that the left wing identity politics seen in modern AAA games have.
You've already missed out on the shock value of being the first far right game though. Ethnic Cleansing released like 20 years ago.

I think people focus too much on politics on not on their creativity. Nothing is stopping anyone from being creative no matter what.
I'm not a right winger but I don't see why right winger couldn't make games, and I'm sure some could bring interesting ideas if they are creative about it

>I think people focus too much on politics on not on their creativity.
The issue is just that games are, literally, designed by committees instead of a truly free vision of one singular director. Oh, i would love to do THAT but i what are my designers going to say? What are my industry peers are going to say? What are my friends and family going to say? What is the press going to say? So everything gets sanded down and only the most acceptable designs make it into the game.

>(personally I think not playing a game because it doesn't fit your exact ideology is a bit stupid but that's beside the point)
This is a left wing mentality exclusively, though. Right wingers will consume games, movies, music, etc. Despite disagreeing with the creators. Left wingers will do everything in their power to destroy the life and career who dares attempt to create something that doesn't align with their political views.

This all depends in the studio you are working on, it's not a singular thing everywhere.
If you or other want to make things different, it would be possible too.
You can't just blame the world for every issues.

pic rel is a right wing game retard

Yet there's plenty of movies, books and songs made for specific audiences. I don't see what's stopping games to be that way, I mean hell, there's entire movie studios dedicated for "christian friendly productions" and they have a lot of budget and touch many genre.
As long they create their stuff and don't engage in culture war idiocy, I don't see anything that would prevent them.

But everybody who has any say has to be on board. Marketing, designers, publisher and the board of creative leads all have to support the vision, or at least not oppose it. And that is if the project lead himself isn't swayed by other peoples opinions. Especially when we're talking about social issues. Imagine anyone making a GTA-like and LGBT characters either don't exist or only exist to be mocked. Multiple strip clubs and brothels for the player to visit and every female character is actually hot and dressed like in a 2000s music video. That kind of game just wouldn't get funded today.
