The industry is run by assholes who hate videogames and gamers
>What can be done to save it?
There's basically nothing that can save "The American Game Industry" as it exists, but people getting together and forming some AA size studios would probably help, but it's going to be a massive uphill battle because the entire media industry is completely fucked and actually getting the word out about what you're making is going to basically be a nightmare.

Western studious are legit doomed.
They are filled with woke faggots and trannies, they need to crash and burn, and then start over with actual competent developers in small studios where they can prevent that cancer from taken over.
Until they do that, they will keep failing and making shit that doesn't sell.

sadly that would mean crashing the global economy and every western country going through at least 2 decades of civil war and then war with one another.
but it must be done. billions wont need to die, but millions will, all because we felt sorry for them after ww2.

Imagine how many games we could get if the average third world nation took maybe 25% of the time they invest into complaining about Americans and American media, and used it to learn how to program.

I think civilization will never be the same again.
Meaning that even if China wins it will never have what America had. That's gone.
I think Africa and Mexico will be the last survivors.

The average third world nation has basically zero interest in actually making games.
Steam let them in and their entire strategy is asset flip shit that they hope nobody realizes they can refund or straight up crypto miner malware on EGS.

This. We should have never rebuilt the Axis countries after WWII. 2/3rds of them have proven themselves ingrates. They started the war but we felt sorry for them anyway, like the overly emotional Americans we are.

Wokeness and corporations. Once these things are removed, we'll make a comeback. Only indies and AAs can save us and this can only happen with Valve and Nintendo ruling gaming. Good thing that's where we're headed.

Honestly?
Beyond politics and everything?
Wages.
US wages are just TOO high. And they don't even have a good return in standard of living or quality of the work for that because just about everything down to the most basic necessities like a home and food are also super expensive.
But it means you now need twice the budget to make the same game with American devs compared to European devs. Because of that studios think they are taking much smaller risks to make up for the much higher costs but it just leads to games that are "safe" by trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
This is why we see Europe dominate the Western game development more and more: you just get more bang per buck of invested money.
Second: "world experience" or lets call it "actual (non token) diversity of viewpoint". You all know the stereotype that Americans rarely leave their country and know little about the world outside of the US? Well, this reflects in their games: they are typically only able to write i.e. fantasy cultures as different flavors of American. They lack interesting hooks, controversial opinions and traditions, etc. This also makes their stories appear rather one-note in nature. Disco Elysium could have NEVER been made by Americans.
Or: A European team made up from people across the EU will have a FAR greater breadth of cultural ideas to creatively contribute to a project. American subcultures are far less diverse. Every EU country has it's own attitudes, history, traditions, hell even religious sub-groups. Even language has a HUGE effect on how people even think, as if some concept can't be easily expressed in one language, people will ignore it that only speak that one language. (I.e. word for the color "orange" didn't exist until the late 14th century. Prior to that people saw "a red yellow mix" and didn't think of it as it's own color.)

Also, food is super-cheap in the US, even in markets where housing is expensive like big cities.
>Even language has a HUGE effect on how people even think, as if some concept can't be easily expressed in one language, people will ignore it that only speak that one language.
And one of English's strongpoints is that it will happily borrow words from other languages to express ideas or concepts that English lacks. ex. German is a great language for expressing new concepts because of how it loves to mash words together, which then leads to English adopting words like zeitgeist or schadenfreude.
