I think it's funny how other Americans never knew about it. It's extremely obvious that third world countries and/or countries with a predominantly poor population would have gaming catered to them. I think it's extremely closed minded of him to have not considered that these vast populations of poor people could 1. game, and 2. have internet access. It'll ever hit people in the US or Europe because there's just not a large enough impovershed audiance.

The main gripe with this video is Mat being "surprised" that other countries exist, but rather, I think this video just goes to show that the English speaking side of youtube has been boxed in by the big three markets (japan, us, and europe) and I feel it's a valuable lesson. I'm Jamaican, and so much of my experience being mostly socialized through the internet primes me to be being oriented to think that way, because the english speaking audience just, tends not to interact with other regions and I think that a big name mentioning this will help better globalize the youtube experience and let all of us smaller countries feel a little bit more seen online.

@Lion10104 2 года назад

It more has to do with the fact that we have better games and freedoms that allow us to have a diverse range of games that fit our personal preferences. Meanwhile in those countries they are heavily restricted as to what they can play as well as the availability of games, so all the people who download games only have a limited pool to choose from and hence there being that many downloads of those games as well as a more equal gender balance in it, due to them not having a choice as to what they can to pick that fits their personal preferences. Imagine the only vegetable in your grocery store are potatoes, well your going to have a disproportionate amount of people buying potatoes if you just look at the data and compare it to another country that has a diverse range of vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers etc.

I am so glad that Mat pointed out the huge genderfication of games. I'm a woman, and although I do enjoy Stardew Valley and the Sims 4, I ADORE Skyrim, Fallout 4, and The Long Dark. They were all marketed as male games, and TLD only had a male option to play as. But, I grew up with Skyrim, GTA V, Fallout games, and all different kinds of fighting games like Mortal Kombat and the like. I am so happy, and I hope that his assumption with the gaming market changing is true. It would make my whole existence to know that my siblings and my kids wont be subjected to American propaganda. I am even hopeful that this will help other companies realize that they can get more money and have less hassle, simply be not gendering their products, experiences, and companies as a whole.

@leafy126.5 Год назад

@typhinsama Год назад

I don't believe it's a forced split, just statistics on who plays those games more. Even with the arena of valor game it's still a 54-46 split which is pretty close. I don't believe anyone is saying this game is only for a certain gender, the stats are just stating who plays it more.

I'm Chinese American. I'm not saying that China is less sexist (there is DEFINITELY a lot of misogyny in China), but its sexism shows itself differently than it does in the West. And in many ways, its progressiveness towards gender also shows itself in different ways. Both cultures should learn from each other in this regard.

And though people are playing freefire because of they have phones with 2gb ram, that's changing as more and more games are coming to mobile. Apex legends mobile nearly looks like apex legend pc and people with 3gb ram or more prefer more graphics heavy games like CODM or pubgm/BGMI that's why freefire Dev recently made a high end version of freefire.

The funny thing is Honor of King is a copycat of LoL before they bought Riot and then they got copy by Mobile Legend which also a successful game in Asia/SEA and beaten their own games like LoL wildrift(China+International) and Arena of Valor combined which is supposed to tackle Mobile moba outside of china.
