Games

IDK, I feel like the crux of this articles argument is "Anglophone Gaming Press primarily focuses on games actually released, or played widely within the Anglophone Games Market. And this is necessarily insidious for... reasons >.>"

It just doesn't strike me as a particularly compelling issue. Even if the gaming market is becoming increasingly international in scope (Which is a good thing!), language barriers do still represent a real barrier for communication, and frequently either inform, or dictate genuine differences in how two cultures, or sets of cultures, are going to develop. Until we all decide to speak Esperanto (or Mandarin) that's likely going to remain the case in the future.

Furthermore, while gaming markets are today international, they don't have international origins. They each grew up around particular regional industries (especially so in computer games development), and those origins still impact the development trends of particular national games industries to this day. If the author wants to write a book specifically about the history of gaming in Brazil for Anglophone audiences to gain a better perspective on international games development, then they should do that! It would most likely be a positive addition to the current discourse.

I just don't get why they took it so personally, that the Anglo Gaming Press & Academia would focus primarily on the parts of gaming history that are most relevant to it's own development.
