Should game publishers appeal to Latin Americans?

>Latin Americais a bigger, more lucrative market than many gaming app developers realize, as seen by their low advertising budget. The key is to think of it as a region instead of a collection of nations. Mexico has 130 million people, but it’s just one country in 20 that speak Spanish. All told, there are 400 million people in the region who speak Spanish, which means it’s pretty homogenized from a marketing standpoint. Brazilians do speak Portuguese, and with over 209 million people, there are a lot of potential players there as well.

ResetEra has been winning too much lately. I think they're gonna take a break for a bit now, bay bay.

Samsho is available and kof 15 is in development. What else do they need?

A good speedy Gonzalez game

they have awful taste though

>"appeal to latin america!"
>devs put stuff in game that appeals to latin america
>"wtf that's racist!"

It boils down to money.
We would not buy a game if we can pirate it. Thats why f2p shit is so popular here.
If your game is F2P, you bet your ass it will be a hit in latin america, or its futebol/futbol/soccer related.
t. sudaca

Don't they still pirate Mega Drive games? And aren't their currencies so far down the shiter that the idea of disposable income is a fucking joke? WHY would ANYONE with half a brain cell ever cater to THAT demographic?

Why doesnt latin america make games for itself?

>Juan Echavarria
Yeah, no.

That would be the ideal scenario.

SO, from a marketing stand point of course...It's completely OK to generalize large groups of people based on little more than the language they speak. Is that right?

most of them just pirate or play f2p games because they're poor as fuck
same as east europe and russia

No, user. Every country at the south of the border is Mexico.

They only play free to play games, and pull charge back scams on the cash shop. Juan needs to stick to Dragon Ball Z and power wank fantasy and stay far the fuck away from trying to influence a white man's industry.

*yes.

DMP

Even Australia?

Don't most latin american countries pirate because games can get fucking expensive over there?

Latin American here, please don't pander, we love games as much a everyone do, if you want to do something nice for us, just make all the female characters more thicc, that's all, peace.

except you need money to buy games and we don't have that

Yes. Games (for foreign companies profits) is exactly what argentina needs right now.

I'd rather they appeal to Ferdinandos than to Chinks (who fear skeletons).

For startes they could try to improve their dub efforts, mexican dubs don't cut it for all of Latin America, and if they're going to do a garbage job at it anyway then don't bother at all, most of the people will be fine with just subtitles

I mean the Americas. And it was sarcasm. I hate Mexicans who think all Latin America has their customs and shit.

Chinese vidya market is gigantic.

>latin fucking america
>Homogenized
Argie here, Juan has no fucking idea what the hell he's talking about. Also of those 20 countries half of them are going through a crisis which means no interest in buying when you are starving and the other half will take decades before forming a solid middle class.
This entire place is a sinkhole of drugs and terrible policies do not bother visiting

Latin American like looking at muscular, tradition masculine men and sexy, traditional feminin looking women. they are also very religious.
so there is literally zero chance of western devs will ever make a game which panders to these tastes

I read you loud and clear Latin America. *wink*
Road Side Orange Selling Simulator should be done by the end of the month. We'll be sure to throw in some nice plump Grape Fruits just for you.

I actually prefer Spanish dubs for vidya over Mexican ones, except for Alan Wake.

They don't need to ''appeal'' to us really, just publish the fucking games! i had to import FFXHD, XIIHD and World of Final Fantasy because nobody brought them here

Specially Australia.

Yes: socialism is failing, Latin America will become more libertarian overall, so it's a good mid-long time investment.

This. It's a losing battle either way. Mainly because these fuckers still listen to those whiny retards for some reason

That sounds less like a headline and more like a life advice.

Why can’t Latin Americans make their own fucking games?

Nobody gives a fuck about mexico.

They don't actually buy games or spend thousands of dollars on "micro" transactions

>socialism is failing
Scandinavia is doing fine. The problem isn’t socialism. It’s a combination of cultural differences and a system that allowed itself to get corrupt. You are talking like the United States isn’t heading straight for another recession

>Should game publishers appeal to Latin Americans?
>publishers
Well, DUH!

Gaming companies have been wanting to get into LA for years, it's the LA governments that make it hard for them. Electronics are taxed to hell in LA and the overall population isn't wealthy enough to afford video games as a constant source of entertainment, plus governments just don't make a good environment for investment and job creation, thus remaining poor. That's why f2p and piracy are rampant in LA

The problem with doing anything with other cultures is that you catch flack if you dont get it 100% right, and even when you do the argument of
>mexican centric game
>made by white from middle class america
You just cant win, if you want it, make it, dont complain that others arent making things for you, the western world is mostly white, so its games and media are geared towards white people. Thats just a sad fact of life.

Heres something for you, the movie Kung Fu Panda caught shit from the Chinese government and film industry because it was successful China itself could not make something better and simply tried to replicate it a load of times, failing every time, they actually wanted KFP to be remade because it was cultural appropriation for profit, this actually happened. If it is successful people will claim some shit that so that it belongs to them, and that the people that made it werent "X enough" to own it and should somehow make up for that.

Echeverría is a common spanish surname, but he's probably some chicANO born in Commiefornia and that's why he honestly thinks latin america shares similar culture

Ah great, now amerifats will tell me what games I should care about because I'm a person living in one of 20 countries and in burgerland they think we're all the same or that we even like each other. Fuck off with that.

In English is NATO... I guess.

>>"wtf that's racist!"
I don't think Latin Americans are the ones complaining.

The most hilarious think is that every Latin American country has its own slang and all of that. Argentina uses the Spanish equivalent of thou.

We got some decent indies, like the VA-11 Hall-A guy who made the game in order not to starve in Venezuela.
Also Momodora, Odallus

SNK has been pandering that market for years.

games cost money to make

oh kaka zaharra, barkatu

I haven't played those, I'm a PC tard.

third worlders are all the fucking same. they fucking pirate anything and their market is totally fucking destroyed. they wont fix that shit. they will never fix.

this goes for east asian half-developed countries like korea, taiwan, hongkong etc. they all fucking pirate anything to the degree they destroy their own market. they wont and cant fix that shit

thats all.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO im not surprised this is written by a Juan, I guarantee a Juan made this thread too

only games that would please latin america could be bolivar or san martin and their campaigns liberating south america, otherwise there isnt much we are proud of

That's precisely the problem.

Stupid beaners don't deserve video games

Back in the 90s it was even bigger than Capcom, arcade wise, Metal Slug and KoF where every where, but thanks to the popularity of the PS2 it faded into obscurity.

I would love to play a GTA clone of El Marginal.

we are mestizos not mulattos you dumb retard

They shouldn't bother

Most of us are retarded welfare leeches that pirate everything

Mexico is not all Latin America.

>western developer tries to make a game about Bolivar or San Martín
Imagine the garbage that could come out from that.

Fuck you, retard.

What about some alt history shlock like nuWolfenstein where you guys actually manage to win the Falklands?

Really?
Almost every border hopper I ever met was in to SNK games. Ended up making a few friends playing SvC Chaos and KoF98 with them.

Malvinas 2032.

>Back in the 90s it was even bigger than Capcom, arcade wise
Not true, Capcom was always bigger specially the VS. games, Metal Slug i'll give you that and occasional Super Sidekicks games but that's it.

Exactly my point.

But if for some reason a dev wants to do something that pleases Latinos, just keep creating games like they always were before the California SJWs started talking that fun doesn't matter.
That is, interesting games, fun, with some minimally complex mechanics that can be deepened with experience and a lot of hot girls with big boobs and butts.

Oh yeah. I did not read the OP article.
Anyway, just use the same formula I quoted. Incidentally this formula works for the rest of humanity as well. The only ones who probably won't like them are people who don't like games in the first place.

Nigga I lived in arcades as a kid in the early 90s.

Weird, it's usually your kind, living in a different country, the ones crying about racism against X and portraying themselves as champions of the poor people of some foreign country.

The thing is that WE as Latin americans only care about if a game is good or not. We dont care about representation or inclusiveness

That'd be great tbqh.

S/C America has a lot of game developers making games as is. Brazil somehow keeps popping out decent throwback indie titles and new games like blazing chrome and dandara, then you have stuff like mulaka and aztez. They're doing fine. The only sleeping being done is by pubs, because the economy is garbage there and everyone pirates.

I would love a Mafia-like game settled in Buenos Aires in the early 20th century about the conflicts between anarquist immigrants and the conservative ruling class.

But I am not mexican nor spaniard.

>they want to appeal to mexicans and maybe cubans living in USA.
No. They want to appeal to themselves and colleagues with virtue signaling: "Look what a good person I am, how I help these worthless people".

The ultimate Boomer Latino dude's game of choice is kof98

european identity bad

>devs put stuff in game that appeals to latin america

>the people who complain are twitter-brain Americans who speak for others rather than the actual people of the represented country

I personally love Latin american inspiration in games. (thats not exclusively mexican because honestly thats overdone as hell)
for example WoW BFA had a lot of Latin American native inspiration with its theme and some of the musicalization.

Russia produces superior jank, though. All America minor has produced is a meme VN.

Argiebro reporting. Only see KoF in arcades only once I think it might've been 98 but I'm not sure. Metal Slug was very common there was some football game called Ultimate 11 you'd see from time to time, but that's it. MK was big until about 3 then faded, I guess 1 and 2 were still popular enough, SF2 and its variants where everywhere, same with all the Capcom vs. whatever games.

At first I thought this said not to sleep on Latin American game publishers, as in don't ignore upcoming games like Eternal Cylinder of NiV-Ana and was like yes, there are latin american game publishers who warrant attention. Then I saw the comma so now no fuck latin american people in general. Game publishers should ignore them.

I’m Brazilian fag and I don’t want appeal to us. Games should only come in english, people should start learning a second language. Brazilians are fucking lazy, I’f games start coming in brazilian portugues kids and teens wont do what I did, study a second language because they need. I did and I’m really happy that now I know english. I get to fuck some good white pussy lol

If there was anything of value worth publishing in Latin America western publishers would be all over it but there isn't because Latin America is a haven for subhumans who cannot create. The only races capable of self expression are European whites and the Japanese.

Coping seethe. You've been praying for developers to stop licking our boots for nearly half a decade now. And it has been nothing but impotent wishful thinking. Our influence only continues to grow. This week alone, we censored Catherine's credits, IonFury's "fagbag" (and we got their promise that they will never talk about politics ever again as well as 10k bucks), and Final Fantasy VIII censored as well.

>Be Latino

How can we overcome this? Do we need to release a meme game?

>VA-11 Hall-A devs make one of the best and comfiest western VNs around

We should get qualified game devs out of Latin America so they can have some chance at a decent life

>Retarded """"journalist"""" talking bullshit
Circa 2010-2012 publishers were actually putting a lot of effort on reaching LA, and it was working.
But then a bunch of economic crisis hit. Brazil and argentina are knee deep in the shit. Chile and peru are too small. Mexico is still doing okay on vidya because of the proximity to the US, i guess. Every other country is completely irrelevant

Unironical government subsidies.

No Mexican has ever in the history of mankind complained about racism, sexism, homophobia, etc in media, it´s always the white SJWs and third generation chicanos who don´t speak spanish. We don´t give a shit.

Agustin Laje was quite criticized when he made it to Mexico.

Argentina is havin very very tough times

Market size by video gaming revenue in LatAm:
MX: 33.8%
BR: 31.2%
_________65%

AR: 9.6%
CO: 7.4%
CL: 4.6%
etc: 13.4%

BR here.

No one complains about nothing, except for the leftists/communists and some BR gamedevs are taken by them, so they may be one of these small loudy people.

But in general it's the first worlders that feels the need to defend the "poor".

We love Blanka, for example, as far as I know Mexicans loved that sombrero Mario, but the Americans complained about it.

And yes, IT IS a lucrative market, pretty much everyone play games here.

how is the culture of stealing more lucrative than the culture of pure consumerism that is USA

example, spics do prefer anime games and the such but never get dubs, meanwhile americans who just whince at the very thought of "anime games" do get em
answer:you actually buy that shit

>posts a japanese girl because spics are disgusting tier

I pirate literally everything, I have bought 1 game in the last 8 years, most people I know are the same.

It has always been bigger in everything except digital media and animation

It is the 3rd most populated country in America,so just by probability alone it's bound to have at least some successful vidya people,just like the US has the biggest video game industry since it's the most populated country in the continent.There's nothing special about mexico that causes it to be better at vidya shit than other latam countries ,just population numbers make that to be more likely.

main thing i know about latinos is they love edgy shit

Brazil has bigger population than Mexico and it's still way behind Mexico

My general Don Plutarco Elias Calles was right about catholishits

I didn't even study that, its mostly a group of preppy friends I have
afaik its not so much that they cant make a game but that those other jobs pay out way more cash

This was discussed 5and 10 years ago. The answer is yes because you spics cant afford shit and only play Fifa anyway. Go back to the tequila factory, Pedro

Aren't Latin American economies complete clusterfucks thoughs? Like didn't even Steam have some new policy about Argentinian cash payments or something? And then there's poor little old Venezuela.

What's leftto pander to? Brazil, Mexico, and Peru?

Shut up zoomer, SNK was the most popular publisher on the 90's on Brazil alongside SEGA, everyone here have played a KoF or Metal Slug game at least one time and everyone knows who Terry, Iori and Kyo are.

The only good spic is an Americanized spic, at least the one who didn't have to grow up in Commiefornia or Queer York... Mexican pride is among one of the most toxic prides, y'all really got nothing to be proud about when u got things like ur indigenous ancestors cucked by the Spanish or like right now in modern times y'all flee ur own nation instead of correcting it.. then u end up having kids like us that shun their own race for seeing that they're nothing but sheep to the Dems that promise them shit and it'll never come true, but no y'all gotta have that sheep mentality about expecting guys like us to have ur backs just cuz we all brown skinned.. baka cuates, having to see ur own folks having that mob mentality like these white dykes have is depressing...
Y'all can't be left winged when that only means that ur literally teaming up with these atheist queeros, while Mexicans like to chant that "a true Mexican is a Catholic Mary worshipper" when Catholics and queeros are like oil and water...
None of y'all even like Jojo, I be seeing my fellow spic classmates blasting their cringey DBZ and Naruto music during lunchtime...

A game about the Paraguayan War would be kino as fuck.

Huezilian here, all we waiting for are the prices to drop, these are crazy around here. Min wage is enough to only buy four brand new gaems a month, that's not counting the system prices or DLC.

Winning 11/Fifa.

You really should check out expeditions conquistador

Mexican here. SNK and stuff WAS popular.
Yeah, was. Kids today don't give a shit about KoF, Metal Slug or all those arcade machines.

1 because "las maquinitas" aren't as prominent and popular as they used to be back in the 90s and early 00s. All kids play games on their phones/parents' phones now.

The "lol Mexico loves KoF" and related meme is only true with boomers in their 30s and mid 20s. People who were kids back in the 90s and early 00s who still got to experience going to the maquinitas and blow a bunch of pesos on them after watching DBZ on canal 5 when coming back from school.

It's not like that anymore.

lmao
I've literally never seen anyone identify themselves as "latinos" here, that shit goes for some chicanos at the US who want to feel some kind of identity.
No Peruvian wants to be lumped with a Bolivian, an Uruguayan will look at you weird if you call it Argentinian, Colombian will say they're different from Venezuelans and Panamanians will feel insulted if you call them Costa Rican who will feel insulted if you call them Nicaraguans who will feel insulted if you call them Honduran who will feel insulted if you call them Guatemalan who will feel insulted if you call them Mexican who will feel insulted if you call them Chilangos.

tl;dr: If you want to appeal to Latinoamericans you could: Appeal to one country or make him speak spanish without saying his nationality.

theres also a shitload of weebs

Ahem it's 2019 they're Latinx

The Battle of Acosta Ñu would make it AO.

kek

Latin America is also poor with low level of disposable income and high levels of piracy. Any Latin focused games should just be mobile or loot crate shit so the developer makes money. Trying a Latin focused triple A game would be suicide.

There’s also 1 billion poos who speak English (sorta)

Also there's a KOF stage at São Paulo airport, and the Rio Stage.

I have, it's neat, but it very much follows the smae sort of "dude tribes in jungles lmao" setup that the few games, comics, etc that tackle the setting do, instead of actually depicting their civilizations as they really were at their height.

There's nothing wrong with Aztec, Inca, Maya, Moche, Mixtec, Chimu, etc settings, the problrem is just most of them do vague inspiration instead of actually showing them at least like 5% accurately.

We need less "a few worn down pyramids in a jungle" and more of or pic related

>Who is zero

That and, if I'm not mistaken, we also do the dubbing for most of LatAm. If it plays in Spanish in this continent I'm pretty sure we're the ones who dubbed it. At least, I've never seen many dubs not done by us. I've seen a few novelas from Europe, Australia and the Middle East dubbed in Culombian, I think some from Africa, too.

replying to the wrong post?

>Appeal to Latin Americans
>Latin Americans: neat, I’ll buy this if it’s good
>white college liberals: OMG THAT’S RACIST
>/pol/tards: fucking spic pandering, I won’t play this jewish propaganda
Overall you end up losing since Latin Americans don’t really care about being pandered to in media and won’t buy the game anyways unless it’s actually good, but other people will get triggered by it one way or another.

this

Most Disney and Discovery stuff is dubbed in Argentina. Most DC cartoons are dubbed in Venezuela.

cristeros won, deal with it

they don't buy games

Like anything else, you look there for undiscovered talent and create a new market inefficiency. This shit has happened in literally every industry

Because Disney wants cheap Argentine voice actors

mexicans have fingers, they can code their own games, if they're good i'll buy em too

And none of them have money to spend on games

Mexico isn't latin america btw

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAAJAAJAJA
keep seething popekuk

>thread about mobile "games" gets hundreds of replies
i hate Yea Forums

You see
When americans think latin america
they see mexico, so they put a sombrero and wink wink to all latinos.

In truth we don't care if we get represented or not, cultural representation is an american retardation. We just want affordable vidya.

Yes if they want to continue big budget games.

Western publishers will have to expand, hopefully they can create good characters instead of walking flags and stereotypes.

The only treats to western gaming juggernaut would be china if by 2025, 100 gaming clones leads to 5-8 mega games that breakthrough via pc to console sales.

The few good indian talent have been getting bought, and we need global growth to foster new ideas in concept, and gameplay.

I would say you are correct, america at its core is a hierarchy.

why would i want cancer inflicted on latin americans

in the article it's more like this marketing drone is encouraging people to spend more trying to spread mobile garbage there and to focus on an ad model for monetization. now the first part is just "why would i wish this on anyone"

we should remove latin america, france, and china from the internet and the world.
nobody wants to play video games with any of you faggots.

that random insertion of the french just makes you sound like a bong

>HEY, GLOBAL American/Japanese/Sometimes-Canadian-or-Polish AAA VIDEO GAME COMPANIES, YOU SHOULD REALLY START MAKING VIDEO GAMES THAT CATER TO MY ONE SPECIFIC GROUP OF PEOPLE BECAUSE THERE ARE LOTS OF US WHO PLAY VIDEO GAMES AND ALSO REASONS
Why the fuck is this rhetoric starting to catch on? What, is everyone now getting spurned-on by the failure of feminists to get AAA major video games to cater specifically to the niche market of women? Now everyone thinks they have some entitlement to have video games made/tailored specifically for them? Seriously, where the fuck do you get off?

Sorry, AAA game devs don't make video games for niche markets, of any kind, anymore. That's for indie games, so go play some fucking Guacamelee or something. But you don't want that, do you? You want CoD: Mexican edition, you want GTA: Brazil, you want to play the latest AAA game and see your fucking house and the street where you grew up somewhere on the map.

Look, I get that the article is saying
>Hey! It turns out Latin Americans really ARE basically all the same, so ignore all those decades and decades of public education insisting on the cultural and language distinctiveness of each one of the many different "nations" that make up Latin America, it's basically just "one big region"!
But that's a whole different kind of insufferable.

What do they want us to do? There are already soccer games?

Do they want us to put more trumpet music in? Make the characters extremely poorly dressed and fat?
Catholicism?
Dumb it down?

the xboxs entire gameplan was the latin market

>Latin Americais a bigger, more lucrative market than many gaming app-
Stopped there. Fuck off.
