I had this discussion in a different Chinese sub, I wonder if you guys have an answer for this. You guys know Chinese companies are huge in mobile gaming and take up a large share in the global gaming market. (Roughly half of the gaming market is mobile and about 60% of the mobile gaming is from Chinese companies) The Indian IT professionals, OTOH dominate silicon valleys and tons of big and small companies CEO are Indians or Indian Americans. Indian IT companies also do a lot of outsourcing from inside India. So the question is, how come Indian companies don't have a strong presence in gaming?

Why would they? Most gaming in India is done on mobile phones and ubisoft etc. that open offices in India mostly work on the mobile gaming industry. These sorts of things would take time and deleting the basis of your economy to win an election in the short term has longer term knock on effects.

These sorts of things would take time and deleting the basis of your economy to win an election in the short term has longer term knock on effects. Admittedly, it dove tails with a lot a similar questions about Indian industrialization, and a large of it is simply that a while India has a large domestic market, the Indian government hasn’t done a great job at fostering the development of local industries to harness it. While India’s trade in some ways is protective, at the end of the day, India’s balance of trade is continually negative and part of that is a considerable reliance on imports (including in digital form). Modi really hasn’t helped and India very clearly needs a much more active place for the government in industrialization but it simply hasn’t planned out. Also, India’s balance of trade (not unexpectedly) got generally worse from the 1990s onward as the economy liberalized. In many ways, the “red tape raj” was more sustainable.

I see it mentioned as a punchline more often than not, is it because it's an easy position to adopt to justify doing nothing if you're a Westerner? yea, in my experience the vast majority of people who still unironically propose mtw are first world champagne socialists who need an excuse for doing nothing of value. so they're justifying their own laziness with the idea that the third world proletariat will rise up and do their work for them any day now

Modi's advisors are free market freaks and he has been busy selling out state assets to his gang of gujarati and sindhi capitalists. Lolling at the fact that the US government crushed indian solar manufacturing plans that we had in our last five year plans under the UPA2. Make in India is just a lovely lion advert and all we get is a samsung assembly plant.

India would do a lot better if it had a version of the MITI with the government coordinating industrial policy and lending. India (for example) could be building its own panels locally but it isn’t going to happen under traditional “looter” neoliberalism.

The gaming market (and software market in general) has very little state regulation though. It's also not governed by cross border trade policies. I don't think you can use any of the Modi's economic policies to explain Indian companies' involvement in gaming.

Post 2014 was when the planning committee was shut down. What india lacked until the 90s was the access to western markets, and a more liberal regime was done under IMF auspices. Hell even when modi wants to sell stuff to his buddies he is having to use state telcoms to build infrastructure because indian capitalists are just really bad at the capitalist thing. stephenthinkpad posted:The gaming market (and software market in general) has very little state regulation though.

AnimeIsTrash posted:Yes India would have been a lot better if Nehru was an actual communist. Given that the CPM's industrial policy was essentially the same as the INCs I really doubt things would have been different. Nehru's biggest legacy was not having his state collapse into further bloody chunks the moment he died. I was talking to my parents about this. They still refer to the Balkans as those Yugoslav countries and make fun of Russia for selling out their revolution for coca cola. Tankbuster has issued a correction as of 14:28 on Aug 12, 2022 |

These teenage boys would rather watch an action movie made in their country and their language than Titanic, a romantic comedy from a other country starring white people about an event that has absolutely no relevance to their lives and may as well be about Martians, that came out in like 1995, when their parents were probably still in diapers. Like this idiot wrote that passage down, thought about it, and he and his editors thought yep, titanic, that's the example we want to use.

And I guess although it's not necessarily *wrong* to come to the conclusion that global systemic change is not likely to originate in the USA or UK for example, it's still no excuse for one's own inaction within one's own circumstances. So it's a kind of "love radiohead, hate the fans" situation.
