I never said good things aren't made in foreign areas, but cars weren't really that good of an example because you don't need to know a certain language to drive a car (most cars anyway). A better example would be an animation company. How many Japanese animation companies do you know that make American cartoons? They are basically all japanese style cartoons (anime).

I'm just saying that if the majority of their players are American, and the language is English, it might be better to just be in America. Plus if they moved somewhere like California, it's like Silicon Valley with tons of people that could help out.

By the way, japanese car companies don't make american cars. They make cars that are imported to america, but american made cars aren't like japanese cars. (Ford, GE, etc) You don't see them making Ford trucks in Japan.
