Do you think that Germany is not really aware of the games and consoles business area?

When I think of game developers or studios, the first thing that comes to mind is Asian (more precisely: Japanese) studios like Nintendo, American ones like Blizzard or Australian like 2K games. All of these have already released great games, which have made a lot of money.

I hardly think of Germany, actually no studio or very strong game (out of the box).

Is it perhaps because this economic area in Germany is simply not being taken seriously enough? So that people just haven't figured out that you can really get money and attention / awareness?

I would be interested in your opinion.

Yes, that's partly so. Most of the German games are sometimes very special or grits.

Da

Well Crysis is good

ma

Yes, but I can't think of anything else.

Pu

Right. Crysis is strong. But that's exactly what I mean. It is a game that has been remembered for many decades. There really isn't much worth mentioning.

La

Definitely.

Politicians slept soundly for a long time. But it is also new territory, the whole computer thing.

Ha

And what about the games:

the Gothic series
ELEX
the Anno range
the settlers series
the Risen series

All good games that have their origin in Germany.

Hy

They simply don't have to. We get most of the games carried over anyway and just translate them. After all, there's also Nintendo Germany. Why should you open such a company if you can start with a big one. Besides, nobody says that no German works for all American companies

Bo

Yeah yes. As a German developer I would probably call Sluggerfly (ben and ed you know) but I couldn't think of more. But probably has to do with the fact that video games in Germany are not really socially recognized

Pu

Oh yes, almost forgotten! 🙃😉
