Why are american videogame companies getting shutdown one after the other while Japanese and European videogame companies are thriving? Like the only exception to this is Ubisoft but they're more canadian than french these days because of the tax breaks they get for developing there.
>>750136963Whats the point of video games now when AI can just make porn games for free? America is getting ahead of the curve. I had a nice AI porn chat the other day where I cut Joker's dick off and had sex with Harley in front of him
>>750136963america's capitalism is corrupt. billionaires can buy stuff that they can't afford by getting loans and asking saudis, and they earn a profit from laying off employees afterwards. illegal to do it europe and japan
>>750136963Because Japan was smart enough to notice the enemy and keep their touch limited the longest. America dropped on their knees and started sucking the cocks of the people who want them dead.If you pay trillions of dollars to Israel for example, it's literally nothing for them to use that free money to set up banks and investment firms with the sole purpose of destroying american infrastructure. Invest money into companies while demanding things they know are unpopular and will lead to the ruin of the company (DEI shit, "diversity" focus, uglification, terrible graphical tech that destroys art) and by this method, the country is conquered. Because some businesses are too fucking stupid to realize what's happening to them. They see a big number like $1,000,000,000 and give away their souls.Japanese people aren't perfect and you can see the jewish influence in some of their works, but they are by far one of the strongest nations that have resisted the Devils longest.

>>750138926Ask a question, get an answer.If you don't like it, go ask an AI bot. They'll curate the information to your liking.
>>750136963Google what their devs look like. There you go.
>>750137176This is the fag that will betray his fellow man on Judgment Day in exchange for robot pussy.
>>750136963What would you expect after more than a decade of Soviet-tier indoctrination that gamers are evil and "male gaze"? America is just one big mental asylum.
>>750136963it turns out allocating 75% of your budget to an outside firm that makes sure your game is diverse and inclusive is NOT a good way to make money.
>>750136963American video game companies would rather spend $500m on making games for ugly troons than spending $200m making successes like Stellar Blade. Money vs ideology and money will always win out.
>>750136963Dondald Trumpf is destroying grassroot communities
>>750136963Turns out the only way to keep your business profitable is to make products appealing to your ACTUAL target audience, not an imaginary one your investors pulled out of their ass
>>750136963Because japanese and european companies want their talent to grow and stay with them for 20+ years. American companies dont care if you work for them for 5 years, once the game is out you are out too. The devs dont matter, the execs do. Its why you americans devs lack new industry icons now and we keep talking about old farts like todd howard or chris avelone
>>750139295>Money vs ideology and money will always win out.You've got it backwards. People like beauty in games because that is an ideal worth working toward. Money is used to DESTROY ideals.We're witnessing mass immigration techniques at this very moment to import violent foreigners who go on to destroy historical sites of tremendous human accomplishment and ideological visions of beauty.They go out of business because they metaphorically "sold their soul to the devil" - which was always a metaphor for this very thing (((they))) do in every single country they inhabit. They provide money, which destroys judgment and morality, and people embodying this money do the bidding of their masters and eventually wind up destroyed themselves. The devil always collects.
>>750136963Corporate America is a series of incompetents failing upwards as people with no talent are routinely hired into important positions because of their religion or because their mom got a train ran on them 30 years ago in college.
>>750136963Jap companies value long-term service from employees (for better and worse) which is much, much more aligned with the needs of an entertainment/art-focused industry, especially where vidya are concered. Western (especially american) companies have been short-term focused for like four decades and that kind of retardation is finally starting to bite them in the ass.How are you supposed to make a good game when you're being shuffled between companies and engines and workglows, never getting time to develop long term familiarity with your tools or IP or company or expected standards? Hell, how do you make a good game when you know as soon as it's finished and you're no longer needed, some rrtarded C-suit exec is going to fire you to make the numbers look better on paper next quarter?You simply don't.
>>750140035Pretty much. Japs and a lot of Euros treat video game development like a vocation or career rather than a gig outside of gaming companies/individuals that make low quality games meant as a joke or for gooning. It's something you put years of effort into to learn and to teach the next generation of game devs working at your company to make more games. of course making money is part of the job, but it's also a livelihood and something higher than that as well for these people. Almost an artform in a way.American game dev is a lot more influenced by the idea of getting rich quick and it shows in how fad driven a lot of American games are.

>>750136963Because American education doesn't each economics.
>>750143515teach*
>>750143515>>750143547And I'm not joking either, there are NO economics classes or anything related to doing taxes at the very least in even high school curriculum.
>>750139732>Money is used to DESTROY ideals.Correct. Cattle still can't understand this.
>>750143674But you know what they have time for...
>>750136963Have you ever been to an Triple A game development studio in the US? Let me paint a picture for you. This is real by the way. I'm not going to say which studio but this is 100% fucking real and some people will probably recognize it by description.>walk in the front door>bean bags everywhere in the lobby>there's a golden retriever asleep on the floor for some reason>nobody working at the desk>eventually someone shows up, takes us upstairs>past a room filled with arcade cabinets with like 10 people standing around in it>past a room with ping-pong and a pool table with like 10 people standing around in it>past the cafeteria where it is literally like a 5 star fucking dining area WITH A BUILT IN STARBUCKS>separate free-to-use espresso machine in a kitchen across the hall>walk over the area where the devs are all """working""">almost NOBODY is fucking working, everyone is just fucking around>there are literally two guys playing hackeysack in the middle of the aisle between work stations >get to the lead dev's office>guy is literally not wearing shoes sitting cross-legged at his desk>has incense burningThere are a billion other things as well but it's no mystery how these places bleed money. Of course, they're all in Commiefornia and Seattle and places where everything is prohibitively expensive and the cost of living is insane.It's ridiculous, man. These are the people crying because they lost their jobs when in reality, what they really lost was their daily pass to the fucking amusement park where they "worked" to produce one shitty game every 8 years.
>>750136963the American games industry makes a fuck ton of money, has somehow normalized a business practice of immediately laying off like 60% of your staff once a project ships, and is completely fucking saturated with investors and management from other industries (who often have no fucking idea about how video games are made or what audiences want) drawn in by just how much money this shit makesthis already dog shit hyper competitive and exploding market has descended even further into a spiritual wasteland by turbo consolidation and external investors driving publishers to act like vulture capitalists that just strip small studios to the fucking bone and load them up with debt before flushing them down the toilet, games were also a for-profit media but seeing IPs you once cared about contorted and raped and thrown away like this really hammers home how fucking cutthroat and soulless the industry has become, which shows in a lot of AAA games.
>>750143515>>750143674They do now, you're stuck in the 2010s
>>750144403>>750143515I graduated in 2003 but we had a required economics class, was taught by Coach McCrary who was incredibly based and was about to retire, so he'd curse in class and called us all "retards" regularly
>>750137176Nice. My abuse goblin is Willy Wonka.
>>750136963America is rotten to the core. We are being ran off a cliff by short-sighted parasites who only care about their next quarterly profit report at the expense of long-term sustainability.
>>750136963Ubisoft is dead tho
I am positive that everyone posting in this thread knows a great deal about the economic structure of the industry worldwide and is only making informed and considered comments. Just like the OP, who definitely isn't a complete retard.
>>750139290>There are retards who actually believe this
