Wish he could have said this a few years back and that gives big Japanese companies incentive to follow suit because a legendary game developer was the one saying it and adds a lot of credibility. To this day, it still depresses me that globohomo managed to subvert Squarenix and Capcom and personally, I'm not a fan of seeing Chinese and Korean gacha slops dominating the market.
Im not happy with it either. Even the good non gatcha Chinese and Korean games copied from others (Stella Blade copied from Nier Automata and Beyonetta for example) and they don't match the creativity that Japan had in its hey days. Many many video game genres were invented by Japanese. . Its sad to see Japan falling.
It was a sad sight to see bunch of anti-woke tubers praising Stellar Blade to high heaven, I understand their reaction but everything surrounding it was cringey including the game trying so hard to copycat Nier automata and 2B, only to turn out, the story was nothing to write home about and everything about it was average.
While I can acknowledge nowadays Korea and China can make games, even great ones, they can't replace the dominance and influence of Japanese culture. All the more reason why I still hold grudge over Neil Drunkmann and Anita Sarkeesian. Ever since those became mainstream, the whole game industry took a fucking nosedive, even now their filthy stain remains tainting the whole western industry and Sony forever having decimated their reputation and will never probably recover even if they try to.
