>Politicians too busy being paid by the mining companies to give a fuck about anything else
>population are too normies for any specific games, and any niche games won't make enough money
>rest of the population are to busy being fucked over by arabs in panel beating shops, or arabs in real estate or all upstarts trying to become some land developer

>rest of the population trying to fight for a spot in the big4 accounting firms
>supporting technology to make games such as internet is about 20 years behind
>no manufacturing besides hospitality
