I find it funny (and interesting at the same time) that the US, despite its massive ressources, never managed to replicate Hollywood's success in video games
And i'm not talking just about commercial success (they already pale in comparison), i'm taling about the blockbusters, the masterpieces, the things that combine technical prowess, artistic ambition and global cultural influence
Where is the Hollywood of video games?
Why was Elden Ring made in Japan?
It's similar with anime vs cartoons, there are some deep existential stakes at play for the west
It is price fixing, nothing else
Says a lot about the state of affairs in California
It's like when SEA starts to distance itself from US's grip, we suddenly hear about North Korea doing missile tests
1. is no longer a threat for the US
2. no longer has (perhaps never had), the lead
3. was forced to bow down because has no leverage
The US still chooses what customers China has access to
And the less their input is valued, the less that pool of smart individual will want to participate
So powerful institutions will end up relying more and more on having to trust these automated systems that they can't fully understand
It'll lead to a inevitable catastrophe, call it apocalypse if you will
