>at this point the JP indie market is exponentially bigger than the westoid one
Not even remotely close.
It's still huge but ironically it's being strangled by console companies, not bigger video game companies, because the entry bar for putting your games on console has risen since the PS4 era. Strangling the indie game scene as it sanitizes itself.

Wrong again, They would love goyjin money if they were allowed to fucking sell it. They loved it during the PSP era and it's what kept many small companies afloat that had no future like Compile Heart post losing Puyo.

Not enough cool dudes in gaming, sadly. I suspect that's by design that I can't play as the cigar-chomping gentleman in your image and instead I have to settle with either an Alex Yiikman or a Miles Morales if I want a male protagonist.

And if the option is this or 10/10 bombshell, I'm going to choose the bombshell. GTA6 looks like the ultimate end-result of this where you don't play as a Trevor but instead as some guy named Jason who looks like he begs for money outside the 7/11.
