Japanese Game Developers Go West

donniebaseball23 writes "More and more Japanese game studios and publishers are looking toward the West. But as the industry becomes more global, is this really such a bad thing? From the article: 'Gameplay is an art that transcends borders, and it simply makes good business sense to keep your eyes open for opportunities no matter where they present themselves, as Zenimax, EA and THQ clearly have. Far from ruining the Japanese gaming industry, it may in fact save some of the best Japanese developers from considering retirement or a career change. They'll be able to make games on their own terms with their own original IP, and shouldn't it ultimately be about these creative types being able to realize their visions?""

    In the end, all "big time" game studios will look EAST to India and Pakistan, where the cheap labor is. When the bottom line is *money*, the work will go to where the work is done for the least money. And please don't let your cultural bias cloud your vision, Indians and Pakies can write code just as well as white guys in California. If they want to, and are paid to.

    Now, on a different point:

    Japanese boys are the best. Hot thin hairless boys with rock hard cocks that just scream "SUCK ME RAW". Oh. My. God. Japanese boys ROCK. I want a Japanese boy toy. How much? I'll pay for that young hot cock!

      I prefer the lolies to the shotas, because I am not a faggot.

    I must agree with you. Japanese boys are beyond cute. I've had several Japanese boys, and I can tell you that they are very responsive to sex because of their repressed lives. They love sex. In fact, I spend a week in Japan every year just to taste the boys. OH MY GOD.

    Niggers stink. Exactly!

    Why don't they all just go back to Africa? At least all the niggers who bitch about how much they don't like it here.
