Why is everyone laying off California game devs and opening studios in Asia and Europe?
>>
China and Korea aren't woke. They fire you and destroy your life and family if you are.

California devs cost 5x as much as Asian ones and they produce Highguards and Concords with that investment.

>Former Titanfall devs have fallen so low...
You can't hate EA enough
>>
>>736395321
Cheaper as developers aren't paid as well over seas.
So basically the slop will continue but with even worse quality.
>>
>>736398387
Games made in Asia are better than games made in america
>>
I don't know why these retards work remote but live in California. But as long as they don't keep moving to where I live I won't complain.
>>
>>736395321
californians cost more and you get less because they don't work hard
>>
>>736395493
more like they're cheap shitholes in comparison
>>
>>736398474
In Japan, maybe. But everywhere else, lol LMAO

Doesn't change my original point either, developers are paid less outside of the states.
Crimson Desert is basically an even shittier Ubisoft game, which is kind of impressive.

liberal dementia

>>736395493
Lmao
Ask a Chinese or Korean if their countries are woke and they will never stop listing the reasons why they think that's the case. You just haven't heard enough about eastern feminism
>>
>>736398719
>eastern feminism
Hypergamy is basically present everywhere at this point..l

>>736395321
Cause California has billions in fraud every year so they offset that with high property taxes and cost of living and shitlibs vote for it
>>
>>736395321
Because typically in a recession you cut the expendable pointless fat first.
>>
>>736398387
Developers may not be payed as well but the countries they live in dont have a high cost of living like USA especially California.
For reference i am from Serbia a borderline Second world country i am not a game dev but i do earn around 800-900$ a month from my job and the cost of living in my second largest and most urban City in the country is 400-500$ a month (bills food rent etc.) I own my own apartment so my cost is only 300$.
I usually spend 100-200$ on games and other luxuries a month. So that's like 400-500$ i put in too my savings every month.
>>
>>736395321
They cost more work less are a PR nightmare and what they do produce is dogwater not even bought by their own fart sniffing circles.
Deserved

>>736395321
Whites cant make games "anymore" (except FPS cod,sportsball shit)

Even their game of the year was on stage thanking a japanese guy as his hero

Why suddenly now is there a huge push for outsourcing?
>>
>>736399435
Brownoid detected. Don't you have a street to shit in? It's very impressive you can use human words.

>woke ended up dying because liberal hellholes are too expensive to make games in

GOTY 2025: France (E33)
GOTY 2024: Japan (Astro Bot)

Concord 2: America (Highguard)
Concord 3: America (Marathon)

>Opening studios in Europe
Huh?
But your graph shows the opposite.
They're shifting almost exclusively to Asia, because that's where a lot of the talent and infrastructure is nowadays, since western publishers spent so long outsourcing all their shit to China.
Go look up RedHot CG for instance, they've worked on every CoD game for like the last decade.
>>

There's just zero reason to pay Cali devs when they produce wokeslop for way more money than other devs. You might as well throw money into a furnace.
>>
>>736399484
Shit's been going for over a decade now. Perhaps even two.
