European, Japanese, American studios produce almost every popular title

Why is it that other markets don’t really have many successful game studios? Huge places like China or India have only developed a handful of moderately popular games. Canada alone release more AAA games than those two combined.

I'm always surprised that there are barely any good games made in South Korea. Fairly big consumer market, highly developed work force. Honestly. very weird

The UK makes a lot of good games

Lots of korean MMOs don't get released outside of korea, same with china.

True

Honestly Canada and Britain are probably shared fourth place in total game revenue

It's a hyper focused market due to their government blocking lots of games/consoles from being sold there. Shit that has been refined to appeal to the SKorean home market won't really jive in other markets.

What games are blocked in Korea? I've never heard of this

China I can understand. But South Korea shouldn't be having this issue. I would imagine it's because MMOs have so many text that it must be such a huge hassle to translate in different languages depending on how long the game has been out.

>First worlds countries and current world powers develop the greatest games
I mean, user, it is pretty easy to see why.

Because india is a literal shithole i expect thailand or any of the SEA countries to have a game studio releasing triple A games since western game studios outsource to them before the poojeets even make one they are too busy raping, shitting in streets and begging white land whales for bobs and vagana

Is it, though? There are 200 million Brazllians and not one decent studio exists. China has 1.4 billon people and I guess Genshin Impact is the first real big hit.

I understand that there need to be certain living standards to make games, but I honestly can’t name a single game studio from South America or East Asia (excluding Japan)

Have you ever been to Brazil, user? It's a third world country with a powerful economy, but it's still a third world country.

Right? At least North Korea made that one racing game

single player maybe. Korea dominates the online game market, 4 of the top 6 are made by koreans.
Anyway it's because those are the richest markets.

There are a fair amount of games developed in Canada (population 37 million). Brazil (200 million) has plenty of young people. Even if less than 10% of Brazil has Canadian-levels of income, you’d think that it would have a decent creative industry.

I can’t wrap my head around the fact that at least a couple of studios have yet to pop up.

Population doesn't define whether the country is third world or not, user. It's the wealth and the living conditions. Switzerland has about 8M people and Luxemburg even less, yet they're still considered first world.

>200 million
There's probably at least 130 million who are poor or live in favelas, user.

Non-EU countries in Europe produce more good games than EU countries do. Also Canada produces better games than US these days.

I did not use the term “third world”. That’s a Cold War-era term used to signify not being part of either NATO or the Communist bloc. Sweden and Switzerland are third world (when the term still had meaning). It has nothing to do with wealth

Most of the europe games are UK based. Why does a whole nation need to take credit?

China worked on pretty much every AAA released in the past 10 years. Look at the credits. They are rarely the MAIN developer that gets the MAIN credit, but they're always somewhere in the credits, usually as a place to outsource art

[citation needed]

I can only think of games made in Britain, but in quantity it’s obviously smaller than games made in the EU

Yeah can't wait to play all those games made in Ukraine, Serbia, Switzerland, etc :^)

OP's image shows games made in the EU. I highly, highly doubt that more games are developed in the UK than there are in the EU

>highly doubt that more games are developed in the UK than there are in the EU
More good games, sure

UK is still part of EU.

lol no it isn't? Brexit happened on 31 january 2020. The Brits lost their EU citizenship on that day, UK left the Union on that day

European Union? lol. Does it really take multiple yuropoor countries combined to match the output of Japan or the USA.

Please tell me, how many games were made in UK in 2020??? Obviously we are talking about time when UK was part of EU. Whan you are talking about games made in UK you are talking about games made in EU. What is so hard to understand about it. But to be honest putting all EU members to one bag is beyond retarded in a first place. EU is not a country.

>lol. Does it really take multiple yuropoor countries combined to match the output of Japan or the USA
Lol. Does it really take country of 320 millions burgers to outperform some random small European country?

It's a Union of States, much like the USSR or the USA. What do you think the point is of EU citizenship? Do you think the majority of people working at Guerilla are Dutch? Do you think the majority of people working at CD Projekt are Polish?

>how many games were made in UK in 2020??? Obviously we are talking about time when UK was part of EU
user, the UK left at the end of January this year.

>Dutch
Why is this language so weird? It seems to use alot of English loan words.

Surely he meant EU as in Europe and not the European Union.

>Does it really take California, Florida, New York, and Seattle combined to match the total output of the 47 prefectures of glorious Nippon?

china was a shithole til the 90s so they are basically a new capitalist(if you can say they are capitalist) nation
korea on the other hand they produce the best mmorpg in the world the problem they are like 1930 japan isolationist the 90% of the mmrpgs dont come to the west but lineage 2 even if it wasnt a sucess inthe west is beloved worldwide and 10 million better than wow
other regions are too poor or with political problems to make good games like south america or africa, the only big enigma is australia they have a good economy , good way of life etc and they didnt make a single good game is guess they dont care about vidya

You're asking why the richest regions on earth have time/money to spend on high-end technical leisure products.

>yurop
>first world
They gave that title up about 7 years ago

EU is still not a country. What do you trying to prove? I dont give a fuck what bunch of globalists trying to achive. Its not a country. If they will turn it in to one in a future its a different story, we are talking about EU in 2020.

>user, the UK left at the end of January this year.
Exactly. That is why I asked how many games were made in UK in this year. You said that "The UK makes a lot of good games"... what I meant was that all those games were made when UK was part of EU. As I said, putting all those countries in to one basket is retarded.

Br here. In case you're seriously wondering, I'll tell you why.
All the talent just leave the country and go work in the us, europe or japan. That probably applies to all other countrieswho apparently make no games.

It's much safer to go work in those places than risking here even though millions of people actually buy and play games. There are super small indie devs that make decent games but a AAA game is too risky.
If I remember right, the main programmer for the smash 4 or smash ultimate engine was a br dude working directly for bamco. He even got in trouble for accidentally leaking details on twitter and quickly deleted his account.

>much like the USSR or the USA
No it's not like that, they're all still distinct countries.
