>Mhm, the last 2 German startups I worked for basically went to the US very quickly after originally targeting the German market Same thing happens in video games. Consider French studio Dontnod; other than its first game Remember Me (set in a futuristic setting), five of its six other games (including the Life is Strange series) are set in contemporary US and the sixth in 1920s London. The US/English-speaking market is just too big to bypass unless there's a compelling reason. (A good example of a compelling reason is fellow French studio Asobo, which put out the widely praised A Plague Tale set in France during the Black Plague. A sequel is coming, but the main bread and butter of the studio nowadays is Flight Simulator 2020, which is "set" nowhere and everywhere.)
