@serkantoto Why bother investing in Japanese game studios when they can rip off the art style of the Japanese and sell Chinese games unrestricted in the Japanese market

90% of the posters in Akihabara are for Chinese games already. They have won.

That’s how all the businessmen in those countries make their money. They are corrupt rent seekers. You can’t blame “third worlders” from having a zero sum view when that’s all they ever seen from their businessmen and leaders.

Among tourists to Japan, the biggest spenders per capita are Mexicans, spending on average nearly 40% more than Americans. Huh.

A Prime Minister who brags (?) about how she tends to sleep between 0 and 3 hours. Strikes me as worrying rather than awe-inspiring.
