If you can successfully operate a studio somewhere like Eastern Europe or South-East Asia rather than in Los Angeles or London, you can bring down development costs significantly – at least in theory.
They hate us that much. They won't even consider opening a studio in Wausau, Fort Dodge, or Albert Lea. They're like "Whelp, we can't be in Hollywood so let's move to fucking Poland."
They aren’t opening studios in America and Western Europe because those countries are diversified and subject to diversity hiring mandates.
This isn’t about cheap labor. It’s about competent labor. Holding anyone other than white males accountable for their productivity is racist/sexist, so the only way you can get your money’s worth is to hire exclusively white men. Poland is the new hotness for game dev because they have both a large pool of skilled white male game devs and fewer diversity initiatives. The wages are lower, sure, but not third world tier. That budget goes a lot further when you’re not required to throw extra salaries at unproductive demographics.
I'm not so sure about that. CD Projekt Red has been importing a lot of SJWs into Poland these days, so I expect the amount of dangerhairs to still be a problem for studios in Poland.
So many people in Europe are into American culture. They have SJWs. Or even Western culture. Whatever; there's no boundary. They can find these people in Europe.

"Quick, let's move all our studios to 2nd and 3rd world countries with a bunch of low IQ populations who will work for a fraction of the cost of 1st world developers."
A lot of shitlibs are homegrown, meaning they're from flyover country and hate it there because they get made fun of for acting like fags. So lots of these types move to places like Brooklyn, Portland, San Francisco, etc.
It's not just shitlibs from California ruining formerly red states like Colorado and Arizona, California also gets the "not sending their best" crowd from red states too.
When the US finally goes the way of the USSR, that's when it'll be time to take California back. It used to be a beautiful and prosperous state, and it can be liberated from its current vampiric ruling class without the feds to protect them.

They'd rather be dead than live in the midwest.

Why is it that I never see DEI types complain about the lack of racial diversity in the Chinese sweat shops that make 90% of their stuff?
Because it's about angry revenge fantasies from the filthskins on the group they know are their Betters.

Yeah, sure...
To be fair, a studio in Albert Lea is going to be a bunch of pink haired DEI loving commies anyway.
My best friend is a game dev in MN, and his company is infested with leftists.

As they should, so when the San Andreas fault cracks and California drifts off we don't have to worry about stragglers.
