Why aren't there more video games that take place in Amercian high schools?
>chad in pickup truck
>girls in hookercore slutwear with vodka water bottles
>nerd incel shooting plots
>gangsters and drug peddling
>jocks, nerds, and weed smokers
>scene girls, preps and emo cutters
>bisexuality as fashion
>the start of mainstream internet, myspace, newgrounds, MSN messager
>dodging predatory teachers
>the all important prom dance

Class of '09 is the closest example I can think of when it comes to the setting and it's fucking safe edgy dogshit that was (formerly) hounded by safe edgy gen alpha TikTok lesbians and yurifags.
>DUDE DRUGS
>DUDE WEED
>DUDE PEDOS

Snoot Game and Wani is also an example of using a high school setting but those mainly focus on Fang and Olivia. Imagine a Persona game where you can go back the all-american experience.

Because high school sucks for all but the biggest normalfags, why would people want to relive that?

There was that one game at Summer Game Fest iirc.

Also school setting is more culturally relevant in Japan over most other countries. Culture Festivals, school swimsuits, school field trips, etc.

I graduated high school in 2009 and felt like I had just got out of prison. Fuck school.
