How did game development die in the west?

Jews.

Why are we included?

Alan Wake

nuBaldur's Gate

You have redraw those missteps.

anon...
India is the west.

couldn't draw a straight line because it would disprove the OP immediately

kek

Ever since the (((Investors))) caught wind of how much money could be invested (Note: INVESTED, not MADE) in this industry, they've been using it as a front to launder large amounts of money using high budget, safe marketing campaigns that don't even need to make back their budget (like Hollywood).

So basically, the Jews.

game development die in the west

Are you retarded?

all the work done here

Everything in pink was made by jeets. Only the writing was done by leftists from the west.

Baldur's Gate was made by Belgians, west of the line.

What's the problem? That map has no Oriental countries (Yugoslavia, Zapadoslavia, Vostokoslavia etc) in the west.

Publicly traded companies.

women and trannies

Genshin Impact

Stopped reading, you're a fucking idiot

4/5 chink games are gachslop

Bleak.

Why dont africans and south anericans make videogames?

East versus West
The Bear and the Bull

africans

All of their countries are a shithole. Africans are also not very intelligent.

south anericans

Same as Africans, but Venezuelans do make vidya: VA-11 Hall-A

Why are they implying Russia made Space Marine 2?

(all the work done here basically)

Ah, it's a pajeet

Fpbp

I'm actually excited for the KotOR remake since they seem to have detroonified their staff. If it's half as respectable as Space Marine 2, it'll be awesome.

jeet tries to include himself with Japan

Thank you pirat_nation, time to screencap this thread to redeem the next twitter post!

Saber is owned and ran by Americans with subsidiary studios all over Europe, including St Petersburg

So if a bunch of Russian code monkeys doing everything that Americans and Brits tell them to is a Slavic Masterpiece then sure, I guess

All the good western studios make multiplayer games.

Not only code monkeys, that's for sure. There's a famous Russian 40k meme hidden on the battle barge.

Move that line over to the Caucasus.

adjusts western countries to be on the east

hmm

India is singlely responsible for every western game and japanese demake being absolute fucking dogshit trash

How did game development die in the west?

Maybe the west just died? Or rather, it just ceased being the west?
Modern westoid regimes are effectively theocratic. Not respecting the religion of equality and nigger worship instantly destroys any business and life. Every westoid studio is beholden to commissars who oversee that development piously abide to nigger humping commandments. There is no intellectual freedom.
Secularism is one of the main pillars of western civilization. Without it, it's no longer western, it's eastern now. How many great works of art made by arabs you know?

Baldur's Gay

Hahahahahahah
No.

space marine 2 is american though

Fpbp

you picked the worst european games those are all ass

someone should edit the image to include israel on the left side
same you did for europe

Gweislop impact

Gacha fags are the dumbest goysumers

Kingdom Come sucks ass. The combat in particular is one of the worst I've ever played.

Useless region

Beaners are too lazy and too stupid to do anything

Baldur's Gate

fagslop

Companies are full of cultural marxist millennials and Gen Xs with some zoomers, they want disguised propaganda not a video game.

Game Idea

Some guy in a post apocalyptic setting goes around killing monsters using magical artifacts because uhhh fuck you

Um is he black?

No

Make him black! Also where are the women this reeks of male power fantasy incel shit

The guy was married but his wife died in the apocalypse

So he can just form a harem now incel power fantasy crap

Was the apocalypse caused by white supremacy?

WTF

Make it caused by white supremacy somehow or we will blacklist you!

retard put Sweden on the left side who single-handedly destroys every other country on the right apart from Japan

that NA lineup

Spain

Italy

Greece

0 games

Why are they like this?

Belgium

East

Israel doesn't make games themselves they simply infest every other country's studios like the vermin they are.

What was wrong with Hellblade?

t. burger devouring muttoid

Africans have no resources (they're willing to extract themselves) and they're too stupid for anything else so it's basically a non-starter

Momodora

VA-11 Hall-a

countless ok tier mobile games

try again DEIcuck

sweet baby inc

VA-11 Hall-A

Literal cuckge.

You really had to try to somehow make all those european games "eastern" huh

Metroid Dread

including 20 year old games for the le chad face side

Yikes sister that is not a good look

marvels avengers was made by square enix

They tried to make it into a formula, and also never ever again wanted to make a game they’ll need to compete with down the line. End result: nothing new in video games and no reason to buy them as it’s just an endless cycle of the same shit

because the west has been in a culture war that they want to cover their eyes and ears and pretend isn't there. this has been a part of it.

Why did psheks try to sneak themselves into "east"? cyberslop, shitcher, and baldurs gay are western as fuck and so is poland

Mario

Zelda

Street Fighter

Final Fantasy

If you were going to add that you might as well give all the good games back to the West too. Mario and Zelda haven't a great game in years.

ESG/DEI was just free money due to blackrock and USAID

What's wrong with LEGO Horizon?

/thread

Also, Mario is half and half. He wouldn't be the Mario we know without heavy involvement from the America team.

Blasphemous...

Simple as.

french redeemed themselves after creating my wife
Ubisoft is full on globohomo these days anyway, they're more indian than french

Isn't baldur's gate on the west, why bend the line like that? game is faggy as shit despite being successful

The same sort of "people" who run this website, run the majority of the video game industry. Same exact mentality.

"CHICKEN JOCKEY!" America exclaims in ignorance as their empire crumbles.

I’m glad we’ve decided nordic counties and eastern europe are not part of western gaming. They don’t feel like western gaming when you play their games.

Genshit

Wukang

Valorant

India ''work''

One game

A vn

Unnamed mobile (shit) games

lol

Millennials

Shalom.

Beanerjeets are shameless dogs.

Video games are an extreme leisure activity that require multiple math majors to spend a lot of time inventing and refining. Most counties in those places are still behind on food technology. Sitting in front of a screen for hours making a tiny man jump around to collect coins is so far from meeting their immediate needs.

millennials are 40 almost going into 50s anon.
we aren't developing video games anymore.

fpbp

They're not the cause, just one of many vectors.
Just like zoomers and investors.
They don't know any better and exist just to get taken advantage of.
Modern game dev is almost a money laundering scheme at times.

Replace star rail with AI Limit and also add Khazan and Lies of P. Unless this is only counting commercially popular games? Also where is Rogue Trader.

Contrary to popular belief, nerds are a minority in the West and our culture got hijacked by bored and boring normalfags. Nerds are the majority in the East thus the default culture is nerdy. Your nation shouldn't be majority nerd though, since China/Korea etc. kinda won't exist in 100 years due to them being too nerdy and having 0 sex with women (all women are normalfags).

Raid Shadow Legends was developed by an Israeli studio that's a subsidiary of an Australian gambling corp

West fell for IDpol
East did not fall for IDpol

FPBP

I'm still waiting for African kino like those budget films they make.

What are some African and South American games?

Since when did the ideological and value-laden 'West', just mean the Western hemisphere? Japan, Australia, Poland, Baltics etc... are all very clearly in the Western power bloc. The only non-Western games shown here are from China and Russia, really.

The east very rarely pushes politics at all, if ever. Even in chinese games made by tencent at worst you will have censorships that have to comply with the CCP but the content of the games themselves of ever show any aggressive politics i.e. china takes over the world and subjugates all countries. Hell in genshin impact every country in that world that has real world cultural analogues are given their time in the limelight and because at the end of the day, companies know that these products exist to earn them money and you earn money by making it pleasing to your consumers.
The west, especially entities like hollywood, instead make it their job to fight their own consumers over ideals because they stopped being businesses and more like mouth pieces by the far left.
Also funny how Disney hasn't gotten a commercial hit in years now.

The east very rarely pushes politics at all, if ever.

That is only true for geopolitics and war. It hasn't been true in entertainment at least. Rather america, especially california, is all on its own now since every other culture is dialing back to older entertainment and styles.
Osaka and Tokyo for the most part is very american centered if we're referring to japan at least. These two cities are one of the biggest bootlickers for american audiences for some reason.

They aren't. Eastern games whether you like them or not are treated as products first and foremost and a communist society like china understands that money is still king and you don't engage in hostilities with your consumers. This is why chinese games are some of the most profitable games in current years because they took what EA is doing and while painting themselves as good guys for delivering what their audience wants.

So then the division would be from California and other blue states from the rest of the world. The OPs grouping is just strange to me. Occident vs Orient might be better suited, but countries like Belgium or Germany definitely belong to the former. Hollow Knight and L.A Noire from Australia have much more to do with the american entertainment industry than the Chinese.

Kino pic

Disco Elysium is a British game, the studio was based in London, and the writer was from Brighton.

NuBaldurs Gate

Not wokeslop

It's not overt like it is in the west, but its there. Wukong is a perfect example of this. They are literally selling you their culture.
Soft power doesn't need overt, obvious propaganda like liberals have tried doing.

The only good Warhammer and Baldur's Gate games were made in Canada

I'm too busy transitioning to pleasure white guys

Could list any boundary-pushing example to advertise

Gachashit is all that comes to mind

Says a lot about Chinese entertainment. The quality of the product has little to do with Genshin's profits. Casinos make shitloads of money as well.

Its also a bit tricky since america holds a lot of these studios while having european developers or rather they associate with the american branch. Like guerilla games which is a swedish dev, is still publicly known to be an american game. Also some like ubisoft despite canadian/french, are mired with american politics.

Genshin is better than most Westernslop games released in the 5 years

BUT PREDATORY GACHA PRACTICES THEY FORCE YOU TO SPEND

nope, mald more

i really hope the woke era will end now
2015-2025 has been such a shitty decade for entertainment
can't even imagine the time and money wasted on bad propaganda

Blackrock isn't the reason woke exists lol, it's been around a lot longer

What is Broforce?

Then that isn't politics. That is just showing off their culture. Something like witcher 3 or any games by japan, like Koei who do historical dramas, for decades. You know we are all talking about modern sociopolitics here.
Because you posted pic of xi and putin thinking you're clever but how am I not wrong? Also it absolutely has something to do with the product with regards to genshin otherwise their other games like ZZZ or Star Rail would earn more money.

Then that isn't politics

It literally is soft power you gullible fool. Why do you think Star Wars and McDonalds are more recognizable icons than Jesus Christ?

What use do you get out of this board? It's unbelievable how low the standards are for nu/v/enizens. Everyone I've met who enjoys that game is either a fag or a woman.

Because you posted pic of xi and putin thinking you're clever but how am I not wrong?

Sorry, I wasn't that anon. I just think that comparing gachashit to actual GAMES is laughable.

You know full well that showing off soft power can in many ways, just like how china is appropriating an american IP like marvels despite it not being owned by them. It is completely different to DEI pushing LGBTQ and interracial messaging.

the west is brave enough to have female protags even though they know fully well that it lowers sales
it's not about the money

The east does that too with varying degrees of success. Hell the east has been doing female protags decades earlier than the leftist crusade on entertainment.

Introducing capitalism into Russia using Pizza Hut and McDonalds is political. You are confusing overt themes with subversive intentions.

Weird West has several protagonists. Not sure it belongs there.

I didn't say anything wrong.

Ah so you're the same retards as leftists who think everything is political. God I fucking hate americans. When I play eastern games like say Khazan all I see is some guy hulking out fighting enemies. I don't see it as americans lecturing me for being a bad person.

overpaid talentless losers

You're falling for LITERAL communist propaganda while arguing it isn't communist propaganda.
We can only hope shit like Genshin and Wukong is banned in the west. Along with the woke western companies, they need to go too.

can't believe Colantonio left Arkane to make this shit.

Really makes you think.

the black cowboy girl is used on the front cover

Fpbp

And China isn't the reason Coronavirus exists since Coronavirus has been around longer than China. But they sure are responsible for spreading a certain strain of it in modern times
In case you're retarded, Coronavirus is literally the common cold virus which has been with humanity since prehistory, Covid-19 is a specific strain of it (SARS-CoV-2)

conveniently leaves out Grand Theft Auto franchise which is bigger than all the games in the East combined

Look at this fuckin landlubber

Reading comprehension failure.
What was being argued was the cause of companies enforcing woke policies, not the invention of wokeness.

What the fuck do you think Captain Planet is? What about all those educational videos that "celebrated diversity" and broke into rap?
You think people did these things out of the kindness of your heart?
Don't be naive. You're not that dumb.

Jews influencing government policy to demoralize the youth and create brain dead consumers to further their own wealth.
But was was being discussed is why companies, video game companies in particular, started going the woke route all around the same time.
Companies and corporations are extremely profit focused and their actions are very easy to understand when viewed from that lens.
So naturally, when they start taking loss on releasing flop after flop you begin to think "how have they not gone bankrupt?" and the only conclusion you can coe up to is that someone must be paying them to fail OR that the company is somehow making profit somewhere else.
In comes BlackRock and Larry Fink.

fippus bippus (fippy to the bippy ((fpbp))

the untold dmg this man has done to WESTERN WRITING, is incalculable

it will take generations to recover despite being firefly and buffy the vampire slayer was decent. It really was everybody that was inspired from him

at least orientals will admit there is some japanese, doujin, and akhabara influence.

It's not "muh east vs muh west" tho the real problem is left vs right. leftists can't make games without pushing extreme censorship, woke(aka leftist) politics and diversity.

Anon, Space Marine 2 was made by a completely Russian team in a Russian company that just happened to set up a US office to handle business/legal procedures. They're just IT so they got moved from St.Petersburg to somewhere else in Europe once the Operation: Slav Sausage Factory started.
Just look at the fucking credits:

Dmitriy Grigorenko

Anatolii Koruka

Dmitry Kholodov

Petr Kudryashov

Ruslan Vizgalin

Evgeny Cimbalyuk

Denis Sladkov

...

Sounds very Bri'ish, innit?

alot of the games on the right are woke.

To put it simply, once you remove BlackRock's money from the equation, promoting wokeness in games becomes unprofitable and companies will drop it faster than an aborted fetus.

And yet the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s had tons of woke shit and "diversity", before your image claimed it existed.

another schizo Anon Babblenigger thread

Just go back to your Anon Babble echochamber

mad jew

Point out the line that says wokeness didn't exist before BlackRock in the image.
I'll wait.

The "black" man isn't making games pretty simple

Your image says Blackrock started doing this in 2007 during the subprime mortgage bubble.
You said without Blackrock investment wokeness wouldn't exist.
Yet wokeness existed for decades without blackrock investment.
You are a kike who is trying to push a false narrative. That's the only conclusion left. That's why you want to mislead people so hard.
Fucking kill yourself you disgusting rat.

No, anon. You're just a retard.
Corporates did and will continue to push for it without any random globally unknown investment firm giving them good boy points for it.
Some went more all in than others but it's not some magical work of a single CEO in some office going "I'm reprogramming the entire world".
Just use your fucking head for once. If you were a CEO with such unimaginable power, you could push ANYTHING you wanted. You could fucking make yourself into a god with every corporate on Earth forcing employees to chant mantras and finish all of their sentences with "Praise be upon X CEO's graciousness."
It's just a completely random company that imbeciles like to pretend is running some worldwide superconspiracy. In the process missing absolutely everything around them.

Have you seen a black programmer? Like ever?
Hell will freeze over before the black man cracks a book open.

Honestly sounds just as Ukrainian as it does Russian.

Everyone liked tomb raider it’s not just about women protags, Anita.

It didn't. The best western devs are making indie games, which are far better than the gachaslop the east shovels out

ummm actually Germany is an Eastern country because I need their game for my cherry pick

Ill take right wing communism over rainbow capitalism

Fpbp

the east rarely pushes politics

You can't throw a rock without hitting hundred of jap movies that are highly politically charged.

Not really. They're obviously not Russian Ukrainians (who would have lived in the places now bombed to shit and back) and Ukrainian names usually differ a bit thanks to the sound changes they have.
Dmitriy becomes Dmitro, Evgeny is also fairly obvious since Ukrainian lost g, so theirs is Evhen.
But ultimately the studio that made this game is from St.Petersburg (and now with people spread around Europe, IIRC), it's not really a hidden or hard to reach fact.
vk.com/sabergames?from=group

Your image says Blackrock started doing this in 2007 during the subprime mortgage bubble.

It never said BlackRock was the sole entity doing so, And again, repost the image with the area that says "wokeness didn't exist before BlackRock" highlighted. Because that is the crux of the argument.

You said without Blackrock investment wokeness wouldn't exist

I specifically said "promoting wokeness in games becomes unprofitable" literally copy the text, press Ctrl+f, paste the text into the selection box and it will go directly to where I posted for proof
You're literally putting up a strawman

To me, it just sounds like you're trying to defend BlackRock by deflecting it's role as one of the perpetrators.

Balding Gay 3 is west, stupid shill

Indeed.

it is because western games are designed for be adapted in future live-actions. Imagine a live action of Baldur Gate, Monster Hunter, Genshi Impact or Hollow Knight

it's a mystery

It got too big to support itself.

Once games started to need to hit big sales targets just to keep the studio afloat, devs dumbed their shit down as hard as possible

They became slaves to shareholders, only interested in making the company look successful so shareholders believe it is successful so the stock goes up, rather than making any form of quality product.

Imagine a live action of Monster Hunter

Why don’t they at least hire hot chicks or did that women become such a vapid whore her soul rotted away?

it's da sharehoolders!

leftist cope

Shareholders, and public trading, are the death of art. Only private companies can make art. That's right as fuck, you imbecile.

these kind of tiktoks are just advertisements for jobs tho

and who are they advertising to?
what kind of person do you think those ads will attract to the job?
hard working skilled straight white men?

then how come publicly traded Japanese companies are the only companies left making good games while privately owned companies like Larian shit out Netflix-tier leftist-fantasy slop like Baldurs Gay 3 tho?

Commandos is Spanish

If you were a CEO with such unimaginable power, you could push ANYTHING you wanted

And then once the money dries out you get fucking murdered.
So, no, you can't just do whatever the fuck you want otherwise you'd go bankrupt and get killed.
The money to maintain that power has to come from somewhere/something.
Which means you have to ensure the money keeps coming in. And THAT means you can't go throwing it away on stupid shit that doesn't bring in more money.
Remove the funds and you remove the most significant portion of any organization's ability to act.
Why do you think Jews spend so much time trying to nickel and dime everyone?
They KNOW they can't do shit without money.

It's US Law, actually.

Publishers bought every studio out and demanded they produce samey slop.
places with AA studios were still producing kino, but Japan suffered a lot of their AA studios dying because Snoy and Nintendo of America are waging war against Japanese AA devs.

of course not. they're for brown incel simps that watch female streamers.

germany and italy

east

I'm an eastfag, don't count them as part of us you nigger.
"East" is Poland, Czechia, Yugoslavia, Greece...etc.
"West" is Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland...etc. Nordics are here as well.

Finland and the Baltics are the only divisive ones, but they're more likely to be "East" than "West", as much as they woukd seethe about it.

then how come publicly traded Japanese companies are the only companies left making good games

They aren't. Have you looked at Square Enix lately?

poland should be west

there isnt a single japanese company making good games anymore
they are all following the west with all the stupid gay shit they are doing

lately

squareenix was always garbage tho that has nothing to do with them being publicly traded

BandaiNamco

they are all following the west with all the stupid gay shit they are doing

Anon, that presentation was done by an intern girl who got tasked with "research what the fuck the western devs are talking about".
It was a 101 done by someone who simply has enough English ability to process text. IIRC she even explicitly said right in the beginning that she was unfimiliar with it so she did her research on Wikipedia and random news articles.

EoPigs are posting this as if this was some CEO laying everything bare. Rather than a low-ranked nobody being asked to make a presentation on some unknown topic as her homework for the game conference.

I think the worst thing on this map is the fact that metaphor was put on it.

Squaresoft was good and Square Enix was the result of a business merger. HMMMM...

Based retard

MBA consultants and executives from major schools like Harvard.
They're just as viral as Indians in a company (since they will hire more consultants from their old school and consulting firm when they get the chance) and twice as destructive.
They massively impact the logistics, communication and real productivity of a company in a negative way and the only thing that their education has prepared them for is how to continue to remain employed, pass blame and scam money out of the company.
Once the videogame bubble started deflating from 2002-2011 you could really see the consequences of consultants becoming concentrated in fewer and fewer major studios until good game production in the AAA industry became basically 0 due to budgets becoming bloated from all the consultant daycare.
The current mass layoffs are in fact occurring because someone with a MBA knows that it looks good to speculatively hire more people when the market is booming and also that it looks proactive if you fire people before you need to release a bad quarterly report. They're optimized for making things look good in the short-term to speculative and out-of-touch shareholders, but they're really bad for actually managing a business ironically enough, so they hemorrhage money on everything.

Poland and Czech game developers are both pozzed and eastern. Almost like east vs west is complete nonsense and it all boils down to leftists vs the right.

wow japan is saved

I don't see it as americans lecturing me for being a bad person.

That's because you've been told all you life that you're a bad person. So it doesn't particularly matter what nationality the speaker is.
I'm sorry, I hope you're doing better now.

I was dividing them more on a historical/ethnic-cultural basis. If we're going by modern culture forced by globohomo then yeah the East-West divide would be further east towards Belarus, though the Mediterranean nations would still remain "Eastern".
Hell, at this point the line would be more like Pozz vs Non-Pozz rather than actual East-West lol

The east very rarely pushes politics at all, if ever.

Decent assessment however it wasn't just normalfags that wormed their way in, something else slipped in through the flood gates.

it's not india
it's the suits hiring those people

Half of all jews in the world live in the based chad eastern half of the map OP posted though.
