I have noticed that generally, the best stuff that comes from the west gets chewed up really quickly and tossed to the side.

>Gets surprised literally nobody talks about it
>I will look for the director, artist or developer to see if they have more or where they are now
>almost always they were just chewed up, got their work dissed, went bankrupt after not too long, and their most popular work is generally the first and last thing they did with some exceptions
Works like Fire and Ice, Aeon Flux, Hellboy, or when talking about videogames: Planescape, Anachronox, Troika games stuff...
hell, even Matrix, literally everything the Wachowskis did after Matrix gets trashed like it is the end of the world. Fun and inspired works that are treated like a joke.

Do western entertainment industries in general try on purpose to screw over the most talented artists?
Why do they do this?
How come nothing ever gets build up on and improved over time?
When you look at old "open blobber" CRPGs like late 90s Might and Magic you can clearly see that, while the graphics were weird and there were plenty of flaws, the gameplay mostly worked and had potential... potential that could have been build on more and more like the east did with their games.
Most 60s and 70s works from Japan look like garbage, but they build on one another and pushed each other forward.
Why does nothing gets built on? why are good artists and developers shun? Is this a cultural problem? a problem with the structure of the industry?
Maybe I don't get something about it, but it just feels like anything good that I've found got trampled and nipped in the bud.

Why do so many westerners try to make their own jrpgs but not the other way around? For every semi popular retro jrpg there is some indie fuck making…
