I guess they could make a couple good marvel games this should give them a break from the sonic games because it seems they come out with 1 or 2 every year and its getting old and worn out they need to wait and perfect the game rather then keep releasing these premature sonic games but this is besides the point

This wouldn't be an issue if western devs actually made games for the audience they have instead of the one they WISHED they had.

The people they're catering to don't buy games. They will like the tweets but never buy your games, because they aren't, nor will they ever be, gamers.

No. Read this article with insights from Japanese devs: https://www.videogameschron...

There are better laws offering more protections for workers in Japan. Instead of firing people, they very noticeably stop hiring people instead - graduates are not getting jobs like they used to. It's still better to have the protections though and ***it shows what these companies would try do to Japanese developers if they could get away with it.*** She's right on this. It's about workers protections. Even if you prefer non-Western games, ***the cost pressures are said to be the same.***

Insomniac had layoffs despite reaching 11m sales on Spider-Man 2 quite quickly. Without protections for workers, big companies have no loyalty and will get rid of you even if you just temporarily become less useful when a game ships and they can rehire later.
