Since this topic is aboot Amurrika and this is a gaming forum….
Today most successful western and modern games and gaming franchises are developed in the US. Developers such as Bungie, Insomniac, Epic, id, Infinity Ward, 2015, Raven, Naughty Dog, Blizzard, Valve and many others. It’s the environment.
Just remember when you buy MW2 next month you are buying from a developer that was created by a group from Oklahoma, redneck capital of the plains. As in indirectly created by rednecks, LOL. MW2 will fly off shelves around the world.
Now you devs that find it hard to break in to the largest economy in the world shouldn’t loathe the place. Its not their fault your projects are shit.
Over 50% of Oz devs are trying to enter the world’s fastest growing economy due to its vicinity. A rapidly reformed and growing economy is something to avoid at all costs. IP value is nill, piracy is most areas is rampant.
Wow...I've pissed off another "leave America alone" moron so bad they've made a ranting, completely senseless post simply to bitch at me while entirely forgetting to be coherent. Let's break this mess down:

I think you're posting this in the wrong thread...cause I can't make sense of why you'd bring up Medicare in an "unregulated derivatives caused the financial meltodown" thread. I mean...wtf? And I just now re-read all my posts in the Healthcare thread and nowhere in there did I dismiss (nor discuss) our resident economist's opinion. He didn't even post in that thread so where you're coming from (and why you'd post it here) I have no idea. All it does is make you look like an idiot.
And it's "hypocrite".

As I mentioned to shaft this thread is not about America at all...it's about unregulated derivatives markets being dangerous to market stability. This is a global phenomenon and not limited to any particular country. So, once again, you're just angry.

You're obviously not familiar with the fact that nearly 99% of all game studios have an international staff, regardless of where in the world they're located. It's not just "rednecks from Oklamhoma" but people from all over the globe working on MW2. Even Crytek Kiev - a new, very small studio - hires people that aren't from Kiev. I don't have to guess as I personally know the studio director and the foreign job prospects they've hired/will hire soon. The reason devs hire internationals (and why internationals are approved for work permits in foreign countries) is because the dev cannot always find local talent. You're ignorant as well as bitter.
I really don't see your point with any of this as the quality of a game has nearly nothing to do with where it was made but from the actual talent of the people working on it. I guess you equate "America" with higher quality or something...I really don't know.

Wow. You think that every game developer is sitting at their desk in their home countries simply waiting for the phone to ring so they can move to the states? Your statement is laughable considering my current studio in Australia has about 20 Americans living and working here. Are they waiting to break into the biz in their own country while leaving it to work in other countries? Jesus.
And BTW it's not my fault (nor any other dev's fault) if they work on shit projects. They're professionals and do the job they've been hired to do regardless of how they personally feel about the project. That is what being professional means.
Another glaring fact you aren't aware of is that the majority of games produced in any given year aren't good or blockbusters. They're simply created to cash in on an existing IP that is/might be popular and utilize the existing marketing of that IP to help market their game. That's how studios live day to day so that one day they CAN get big and stable enough to work on the projects they want to. That's simply a fact and all your angry rantings won't change that.
And for me personally it doesn't matter what the project is. I'm doing my hobby for a living and playing games (for free) all day and get paid very well to do it. Sorry if that makes you angry.

lol wut??
Oh. My. God.
It's quite obvious that you - whoever you are - found the first thread with my name next to it to come and unload on me all the bitterness and anger that I've caused you. What's really funny is that you had to do it behind an alt.
