Why is the game industry so lacking in Brazil?

No extensive previous background in high tech industries that involves eletronics, like european countries, japan and usa, until fairly recently
Mostly Extraction/commodity based economy
Brain drain
Retarded gobment who loves taking but not giving back

To my memory the biggest contrubution to gaming made by Brazil is the creation of Lua script language.
Other than that, the overwhelming majority of gaming companies in Brazil are either making mobileslop, or are working as subcontractors for AAA slop. Currently, there seems to be very little interest full development of non-mobiled games at even an AA scale, and the little there is even near that is either shovelware or assetflipslop.

What do you expect from macaques?

Wtf brazil made lua? That's pretty big actually

>>713073516
>Lua was created in 1993 by Roberto Ierusalimschy, Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo and Waldemar Celes, members of the Computer Graphics Technology Group (Tecgraf) at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil.

they're all too busy modding GTA San Andreas

>>713071950 (OP)

all the biggest br indie devs actually have their hq on burguerland for tax and marketing reasons

br games with most sales only sold 500 to 1kk copies thou

>>713071950 (OP)
too busy modding fighting games and dbz dubokai teikaichi 2

>>713071950 (OP)
It's an africa tier country

>>713072669
>lua script
that's a pretty big contribution, bigger than most

>>713072669
Brazil wins the marketing competition in France every year by an overwhelming lead. The only thing HUEs can excel at is literal ads.

>>713076071
there should be another tier for shittier countries because there is no way that brazil and africa are on the same level(third world), africa and the likes should be like 4th country

well brazilian real is worth shit so we are paying 1000 dollars for ancient hardware

>>713071950 (OP)
Lua is from Brazil and is actively used in game development, scripting and modding.

>>713071950 (OP)
didn't they make 50 dbz overhauls of gta san andreas

>>713071950 (OP)
Having an actual game studio in Brazil is prohibitively expensive because we live on a gibs addled nation. Keeps taxes sky high so that the poors will keep voting lefties into power.

There are plenty of hues working in vidya and, like others pointed out, Brazil developed Lua scripting language.

>why comes (stupid shithole with brown monkeys) cant make the games???
least retarded ESL nigger animal

>>713078912
why so much hatred in yor heart

>>713079230

>>713076071
It's "people getting killed in broad daylight" bad, but it's not "cannibals and people on fire on the street" bad

>>713071950 (OP)
Because people here keep voting Left, so EVERYTHING here is lacking because of that.

>>713071950 (OP)
Becasuse it's filled with a bunch of idiots who are happily content with an insane dictatorship government that taxes the fuck out of everything.

Brazil is literally just a banana republic for the rich cunts in Brasilia.

>>713081787
>people
mostly merdeste holding the whole country back

>>713081787
The problem is that when people decide to vote for the right, they elect a complete retard

>>713082627
>20 years of the left in power
>We are still a poor, third world shithole
Gee, I wonder why they went after the first anti-leftist guy that showed up.

>>713082627
That's the curse of countries with a majority poor/low middle class population, the options they like are Marxist adjacent parties (Marxism is the ultimate form of populism) or populist muh country right wingers.

>>713071950 (OP)

I think politics and elections are dumb.
>vote left
>THE LEFT DIDN'T FIX MY LIFE INSTANTLY VOTE RIGHT
>vote right
>THE RIGHT DIDN'T FIX MY LIFE INSTANTLY VOTE LEFT
and so nothing gets done

>>713072669
Good, well informed posts don't belong on /v/, Anon.

brazilian indie game dev here
because it fucking sucks to live
>hard to be a gamedev when even getting a job that lets you pay your bills is hard. EVERYONE has issues with money
>everyone wants to leave the country because its such a corrupt shithole with no prospects in its future
>games are taxed as luxury goods and a huge part of the population is still playing on modchipped PS2s
>no one gives a shit about games
>miniscule respect for the arts
>The murders
The reason why you see so many brazilians as outsourced labor in AAA games is because paying brazilians a respectable wage is dirt cheap compared to being a brazilian company and doing the same or paying first worlders. Living on american minimum wage here would turn you into a middle class king.

There ARE brazilian games that are decent (recently some really good ones were Pipistrello, Mullet Madjack and Unsighted) but they're usually made by middle class guys with enough time and money to do it, and they don't get a cent while developing. There are no "video game studios" in brazil that give you *any* pay because no one fucking gets paid for videogames in brazil and the government couldn't care less because it's not gambling, crimes or farming.

Brazil is stuck in the eternal third world trap that a lot of countries fall into, where they want to become a first world country by transitioning into a mostly service economy BUT they refuse to elevate their population to the standards that would let them do so or invest into any of the industries that could lead them into higher economical growth, meaning we stay shithole status forever. Also corruption. The druglords and politicians walk hand in hand which is why crime stays as it is. And people are too focused on culture war garbage and "LEFT VS RIGHT" to even think about it.

So yeah. Basically it's hard to be a gamedev when no one earns money from videogames and paying your bills is hard.

Our native GTA is better and runs on notebooks ten years old.

>>713083056
the rich saw occupy wall street and immediately said "FUCK NO", and spent the next years creating a political shift into culture wars that don't mean jack shit, while "both sides" keep making the wealthy even more wealthy and nobody bats an eye because muh commies or muh nazis

>>713084248
I was talking about my south american third world shithole, forgot to mention that.

>>713084441
no, it works down here too. This shit is in every western country because they knew the average person would fall for it

corporations have orchestrated the largest wealth transfer in history and have secured so many rights and violations of common sense that there's no going back without burning a few buildings.
