Why doesn't India make videogames?

[thespanishcel]

With so many currycels working in STEM I find it strange that India hasn't developed a strong videogame industry. Even in China with all the censorship and government regulations they produce a shitton of videogames (and not just shitty mobile games) so what's stopping India from doing it?

 

[Intellau_Celistic]

I expect to see plenty of open-source games from Indian developers on sites like Github or SourceForge.

Ya I have many questions about these countries like India, Pakistan, Southeast Asia, Africa, Middle East, Latin America.

A strange thing is when we import these peoples like curries they are capable of becoming scientists, engineers, programmers, corporate managers, but in their own country, nothing. They have essentially no science, no technological development, no ability to run large corporations.

They use the excuse of not having money. But as your example shows video games aren't about money. India's low wages should be a big advantage in that.

In fact nothing is really about money.. eg.. India does have huge numbers of universities and professors, they just don't seem to create anything.

It doesn't matter they have a lot of unis and professors if the quality is bad. IIRC the best ranked Indian university in the QS ranking is around the 400 position, which honestly it's low for your best university to be there. In comparison the Spanish university with highest ranking is 150 something, and Spain doesn't even have a good education system kek. Still the majority of developed countries and some developing countries (for example Argentina) have their best university in the top 100.

I have some currycel friends and they tell me that in Indian universities plagiarism and academic misconduct is rampant, students copypaste stuff for assignments and use only websites instead of academic publications and are never penalized, so they get used to it and even in Masters or PhD positions there are still plagiarism issues. Fuck, even professors plagiarize like this guy that plagiarized 70 scientific papers until someone noticed and he was fired kek.

That's why the smartest and richest Indians study abroad, because staying in India seems like wasted academic talent. When I look at academic papers for my assignments many of the authors are Indian, but they did their studies in US, Europe and in some cases top Asian countries like China, Singapore, etc. Very few times I've found quality papers published by Indian universities.

Low IQ probably. Being a code monkey does not require IQ, it is just routine, copy paste and knowing the development environment well because you use the libraries and add ons to do similar stuff day in and day out.

Deeveloping stuff from scratch that actually sells and makes profit is a totaly different ball game all together. You need high IQ to design algorithms, classes, functions, methods that dont always break down or take time to complete code traversal i.e it must be mathematicaly precise to the core. Good Mathematics and physics skill to set up and use the map for game play e.g x-coordinate, y-coordinate, z-coordinate then speed(physics) of enemies and action hero, physics for colour coordination within the x,y,z axis etc.

High IQ curries dont waste their time doing nonsence jobs like IT, why would they when they are upper class and obviously get all the nice comfortable government civil service jobs and comfy jobs in the private sector. India got loads of billionares so obviously they need managers and professionals in their organisations.

writing some stackoverflow spaghetti code isn't enough to create a game, it's actually a huge undertaking that needs very good skills for allocating time and effort and good decisionmaking for what's possible and what isn't, when to keep a feature and when to drop it, etc

most large scale programming projects made by hobbyists will end up in development hell and can sit there for decades, because they're made by autists who think they can just "code harder" to finish the project, over for them

You talking software engineering principles here stuff like scrum, xp etc. Software design etc.

Yeah but curries can also do scrum and stuff?

all major developrs have studios in curryland.

 

[crestfallencel]

Ubisoft Mumbai is making some Prince of Persia remake, that's the first curry game I've heard of

 

[TheProphetMuscle]

Too focused on getting bobs and vagine?

 

[CrackingYs]

Average curry IQ is kinda low. Although there are lots of curries in IT and are hardworking, they just aren't very good, and aren't creative enough to do world class (anything).

 

[ldargoblin]

Shitskins are making a remake of PoP The Sands of Time.

curry culture looks down upon it

they have many shitskin IQ parentd, micromanagers(destroying passions,energy levels) and shit culture which holds 0 regard for art,music,games creativity.

another big thing is shitholes prioritize output at any cost. quality irrelevant. This prevents deeper projects from being created.

yes but basically zero domestically owned curry studios. they doing work for foreign corps like Disney/Sega/Paramount.

Micromanaging permanently kills creativity and success. And todays economy, hell probably every economy in history, is all about creativity, passion, energy for things.

There always was some slave state who could make things for a penny less than you could no matter how low you were willing to accept. In ancient Rome people were still paying big money for like clothing designed by some hot fashion designer.

Sad thing is in India the incredibly detailed stonework on those old temples from India's golden age that are still there. They show the truth, that art is where the economic value is. Someone who just threw up a temple of the cheapest materials they could find and did no art on it because that costs a lot of money to hire sculptors and put in extra supports etc.. but that is the whole point all the extra cost is the economy.

To credit India, look at how food it is an art in India, not just about the cheapest one for nutrition. All the huge use of spices, flavors, textures, the teas. And there India is one of the dominant countries in the world. Also Indian textiles that have all sorts of patterns and textures. People order some retarded sheet cover for their kitchen table for like $400 if they want it.

Because no one wants to play a game about street shitting.

This may be due to differences of pedagogy. The West focuses on problem solving from first principles, while Eastern education focuses on rote memorization. Anyone with a creative bone and an IQ over 110 simply goes abroad. There's no reason to stay.

As for why there are no Indian game devs, it seems like most Indians can't afford consoles/systems. In 2022 this doesn't matter per se, but I assume a lack of local consumers makes it more difficult to get projects off the ground.

It would be cool to see a God of War game set in Hindu mythology though. I'd buy that.
