I mean there's been a bunch of small games developed by German game studios but it's not like it's easy around here

It's not like Belgium does anything special either for the games industry. Their success is just due to hard work and good management by a studio that's taking the long term view and it's passionate about the work.

You mean the studio that just at the beginning of this year died because of budget cuts of a big Corp? Not that I want to defend Elex2

Bureaucracy. But thats the main problem in all industries...

Also Crysis and FarCry are German (or where fir FarCry) Anno is also a thing Germany made. Its just not at all profitable to get big in Germany, things that sell get sold to other publishers.

Bureaucracy

Arguably their chief export. Have you ever had to use SAP?

I mean working with SAP is a lot easier than doing the same work without it...
