They just want to write poorly-optimized slop in C++. And yet while sucking at Engineeribg, it is their singular obsession. Never gameplay.

Date: April 6th, 2026 1:32 PM Author: free-loading reading party stock car "American developers were not sitting around doing nothing. A huge chunk of US strength in the 1990s was on PC. The ESA's 1999 and 2001 industry reports say the PC game business surged in the early 1990s because of CD-ROMs, cheaper multimedia PCs, and 3D graphics cards. The Computer History Museum notes that Quake helped drive 1990s PC 3D hardware. So while Japan was crushing it on console action, RPGs, racers, and platformers, American studios were making a lot of the era's defining PC stuff: id with Doom and Quake, Blizzard with Warcraft, Diablo, and StarCraft, Maxis with SimCity, Westwood with Command and Conquer, and Looking Glass with Thief. So the US output only looks poor if you judge the 1990s through PS1 and N64 canon alone. Those machines naturally overweight Japanese strengths: Nintendo first party, Squaresoft, Konami, Capcom, Namco, Polyphony, and so on. Japan had an enormous console-centered industry in that era, and Japanese games had an overwhelming global presence through the 1980s and 1990s. Put differently: if you asked for "top 20 1990s PC games," the American share would jump a lot. If you ask for "top 20 PS1 and N64 games," you are looking at the exact slice of the decade where Japan was strongest and where N64 business choices especially pushed many Western studios away."
