Perhaps they should get better at game development? IMO, the first two Witcher games played like hot garbage, and beloved Witcher 3 still plays VERY slippery. They had literal years to make a half-decent, mostly-polished game out of Cyberpunk, yet this happens. I'm sorry, but CDPR are a joke. Worse than Bethesda.

It's funny too, because I've noticed that almost ALL of the big "AAA" games that come out that have major bugs, seem unfinished or lack polish, and need major patching, are western developed games. Most "AAA" Japanese games do not have these kinds of issues. Food for thought.

There are definitely differences in work ethic across continents. Asians work, and are okay with working, more than any other continent. I believe there were protests in Japan celebrating the new Emperor when they imposed workers take days off work. 

Americans work less than Asians for sure (I think around 40 hours on average last I checked), and Europeans work even less on average (like 34 hours per week). So 1 year of development in the US is more like 1.17 years in Europe. Asians work I think over 50 hours a week on average. And that's just their hours worked, not even comparing mental focus, there is definitely going to be a difference in productivity between Japanese developers and a Polish one.

Whaaat? I can't even with this....Especially with what is known about "crunch culture" at CDPR, the work hours and conditions.......For the record, I liked the post you are quoting, because there is some truth to it, but there's WELL more in play here than the incredibly broad term "Asian" vs the close to equally broad term "European". Trying to compare the work ethic of the staff based on....What? Why didn't the lazy, drunken Scots at Rockstar North fail with GTA 3? How about 4 or 5? I guess they must have been emulating the software teams in....let's say....Asian country X....In order to sit atop the game dev world for almost 2 decades.
