the prince of danknesscalling it now the chinese game industry is going to be rinsing the US in like 5 years.
i dont know how to explain this to the Gamers but living in a society with collapsing infrastructure and unstable politics is not very conducive to making good video games
i can tell you firsthand that doing all-remote creative work is a huge strain. chinese studios are not doing remote work right now because they have something called "public health infrastructure"
Handler Jalter@dankwraith it's almost like any regulation at all makes a stronger game industry
@galaxgal people think i'm crazy when i say that ruthlessly exploiting your workforce for every last drop of productivity does not actually produce higher quality video games
Banquo@dankwraith
Big chunks of US games are already made in China, so it wouldn't be surprising.
@Banquo yeah it's known that western studios have been outsourcing art production to chinese subcontractors for years, it was only a matter of time before that talent and experience was used for their own benefit
