Why not?

Game development is so much different than making a car. You don't have to dump in bilions to do so. All you have to have is determination and passion. So, back to the drawing board, we don't need a malaysian car's reason is not the same.

Give me better answers.

ummm still not a good answer... who's getting political?

Question was why not a malaysian game? Nobody will give a shit? Just like no one cared for the Saladin project?

Just to bring things into perspective - the whole of south east asian region represents less than 1% of overseas sales of large game publishers, which means, there is a lot of opportunities for local games, if not here, elsewhere.

Give our local guys the benefit of the doubt, someone gave crytek the benefit of the doubt - and now crysis. just brothers in eastern europe who wanted to make games.

Its okay to be cynical sometimes, but if you're always looking through those tainted glasses - someday when you take them off, you realize the glasses were not tainted after all....

Just a little fact, unless you're in the US, where the entrepreneurial spirit is strong and funds are in private institutions or angels, almost everywhere else in the world - everything is driven by government initiatives.

Korean game industry is wholely a government stance to make games part of their culture and part of pushing their culture to the overseas market. Singapore has taken their stance - buying into lucasfilms and incentivising alot of foreign companies to set soil in singapore. They too have their share of issues.

There will be losers and there will be winners. Creating the right environment is key - but its very much experimental. Screwing up is part of business, but bribery/stealing government funds for personal gain - that's wrong I agree.

If there is a chance a malaysian game does come out, support it, make constructive criticism on it. Make sure the devs make it better. The more products we have on the market - the harder it drives the developers to create quality.

Give you a good idea of this - is the competition between proton and perodua. It drives quality in both these companies - but we know who's the better one right. Airasia and MAS. Competition.....

heh - our only problem is the ISP - only one guy is offering ADSL..... and they can do whatever they want......

HEAR HEAR! I agree.... let this be a good catalyst to the local industry....
