>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.

Luke Green
>"appeal to latin america!" >devs put stuff in game that appeals to latin america >"wtf that's racist!"
Jose Gonzalez
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
Charles Gonzalez
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?
Lucas Phillips
Why doesnt latin america make games for itself?
Thomas Kelly
>Juan Echavarria Yeah, no.
Owen Anderson
That would be the ideal scenario.
Luis Baker
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?
Nolan Gomez
most of them just pirate or play f2p games because they're poor as fuck same as east europe and russia
Ryder Mitchell
No, user. Every country at the south of the border is Mexico.
Chase Brooks
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.
Hudson Mitchell
*yes.

Noah Morris
Even Australia?
Blake James
Don't most latin american countries pirate because games can get fucking expensive over there?
Justin Parker
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.
Ayden Bailey

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

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
Samuel Garcia
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.
Charles Hernandez
>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
Samuel Mitchell
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
Joseph Gutierrez
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.
Gavin Gutierrez
I actually prefer Spanish dubs for vidya over Mexican ones, except for Alan Wake.
Jeremiah Murphy
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
Dominic Gutierrez
Specially Australia.
Chase Carter
Yes: socialism is failing, Latin America will become more libertarian overall, so it's a good mid-long time investment.
Landon Flores
This. It's a losing battle either way. Mainly because these fuckers still listen to those whiny retards for some reason

Ryan Price
>Should game publishers appeal to Latin Americans? >publishers Well, DUH!
Adam Rodriguez
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
Parker Cooper
>Should game publishers appeal to Latin Americans? Brazilian here, no.
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.
Owen Scott
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
Landon Evans
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.

Leo Cook
If there was some incredible untapped gaming market then someone would have already capitalized on it by now.
>Latin America >90% of Latin america has barely money to eat >Good market
Asher Ramirez
Latin America market is shit. 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.
>Should game publishers appeal to Latin Americans? I rather things stay as they are, the world mostly ignores Brazil, and that's how it should be. Besides, I mostly play singleplayer games, but that article is just about wanting to push more garbage in pay2win mobile bullshit, no thanks.
Jordan Harris
Well if we're going to be stuck with 0 customers either way might as well go for the larger player base
also, most latin americans either do not play games because they are for children, religiously are agaisnt it, or are gaymers and could not care less about representation of latin america (westernized or weebnized)
Samuel Rivera

If by winning you mean setting a precedent about devs realizing ignoring you cunts is the right course of action and purity spiraling your own cucked devs into suicide, then yes, by all means you are "winning".
Daniel Powell
>triple alliance war But on either case the historical revisionism would kill it.
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.
Nathan Green
Nigga I lived in arcades as a kid in the early 90s.
Brandon Watson
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.
Isaiah Brown
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
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.
Jeremiah Nguyen
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.

Russia produces superior jank, though. All America minor has produced is a meme VN.
Kayden Taylor
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.
Jason Bailey
Nowadays more normies own a switch back then, nobody owned neither SNES or N64 it was always Sega Gen or PS1. and gamecube wasnt even known here.
the switch is pretty popular around here many of my friends owns one

Yep. Switch is super popular with the more "normie" gamer crowd, not as much as ps4 is but still.

Yeah, that's good. Doesn't translate into game sales though. Wake me up when Latin America when their popular culture rivals that of Japan.
This one came to Switch/Xbone/PS4 and PC and got good reception, it's the best selling Latin American game on Nintendo e-shop and it's being published in Asia too

Lo único que queremos son juegos baratos. De resto, hagan los juegos que ustedes quieran hacer como los quieran hacer y nosotros decidimos si los queremos jugar o no.
No se preocupen por no representar de manera fiel a los latinos; no poder disfrutar algo porque los personajes no lo reflejan a usted es de maricas.

Then I saw the comma so now no fuck latin american people in general. Game publishers should ignore them.
Chase Fisher
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.

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.
Mason Kelly
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. And the hype for /our game/, CyberTranny 2077 - Haitian 1337 Hackers, is out of control. You lost, sweetie.
Argentine films won two Academy Awards won before the establishment went full "We love spics now."

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%
Bentley Perez
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.
Because he is basically spic benny jew shappiro and his fanbase is entirely composed of catholic old ladies, in spirit if not in body

no how is the culture of stealing more lucrative than the culture of pure consumerism that is USA

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.

Brayden Russell
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.
Luke Lee
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.

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.

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.

I was attempting to imply that the people calling for the appeal and then later calling racism were both white liberal women in the US, though I can see I didn't do a good job of making that clear.
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
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.

>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.

Most Disney and Discovery stuff is dubbed in Argentina. Most DC cartoons are dubbed in Venezuela.
Ian Flores
cristeros won, deal with it
Ryan Cox

Robert Thomas
Like anything else, you look there for undiscovered talent and create a new market inefficiency. This shit has happened in literally every industry
Nicholas Fisher
Because Disney wants cheap Argentine voice actors
Justin Miller

Jayden Phillips

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.
Julian Adams
why would i want cancer inflicted on latin americans
Asher White
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"
Carson Peterson
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.
Cooper Murphy
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.
Andrew Rodriguez
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?
Xavier Murphy
the xboxs entire gameplan was the latin market
John Cox
>Latin Americais a bigger, more lucrative market than many gaming app- Stopped there. Fuck off.
