Rockstar is American btw, it's based in New York City...

Is the nationality issue about where games devs and studio are located or where the companies headquaters are based? Are Retro studios' games japanese because the stuidos owned by Nintendo?

There's certainly a lot of Japanese influence at Retro. As for Rockstar, what games do they make? Parodies about crime life in big American cities.

Are spaghetti westerns american then?

No, but it does show that the movie industry is dominated by Americans/American culture, just like the gaming industry. How popular is Yakuza compared to GTA?

I don't think anyones debating the huge significance of american culture.

But if we're saying that because something refernces american culture its american made then you're going down a path that makes attributing any credit to any creator as pointless.

The beatles were infulanced by american music. We don't say they made american music... If we classifyed things from their origional infulancer then we'd say almost all western music would have been made by Bach or some forgotten person long ago. It becomes meaningless.

But Retro Studios said themselves that they're a unique mixture of West and Japanese which is why I responded to you the way I did.
