As someone who lives outside of America, I find the article's implicit assumption that every videogame developer is American makes many of his arguments less convincing.
Like, I understand that $120,000 isn't a lot for a team of 3 Americans. But that's a pretty good amount of money in Poland, Brazil, or Vietnam. So why don't we see these "missing middle" games coming from those places?
Sure, American publishers aren't interested in writing small checks... But what about Chinese or Indian publishers?
