Why don't they make games?

They do, for the most part some global publishers do or did have studios there.

please get a bigger penis

that's literally 3 people in an office building in Adelaide, they could have worked at home to be cheaper but for the sake of professionalism decided to pay out the rent jew.

see this >Liberal govt hates all arts, movies, vidya and actively tries to punish anyone who tries to make anything in Aus
>min wage is high, so investors would rather pay someone $1/month to make their vidya in Korea than in Aus
>high taxation
>server cost is too high
>highest housing prices in the world, so no-one who wants to start a games company can afford to buy/rent a space to do so
>highest electricity prices in the world, so running a room full of PCs, servers and other equipment way more expensive than in other countries
>shitty internet. Country is 60th in average internet speed, putting it behind a lot of 3rd world countries.
>internet still has monthly bandwidth restrictions
>Murdoch-controlled press doesn't like advertising anything that could possibly distract the masses from consuming more Murdoch press. Murdoch actively keeps the internet and other industries shit so people end up having to watch his cable TV networks to be entertained
>weak dollar and economy means less profits at the end of the day
>if selling physical copies, there's no factories or infrastructure to produce in Aus, so it's outsourced to china, shipped back to Aus and THEN distributed. Aus is in the ass end of nowhere so shipping to the US and EU takes forever and is heavily taxed.
>govt actively discourages job security by discouraging employers from hiring permanent staff. results in any and all staff being Casual Part-time so employers can get out of giving away costly benefits. This means all the talent ends up going overseas to find good, stable, reliable work because no-one'll hire or keep anyone over the age of 30 when they can just hire more Filipinos and 16 year old's instead.

what the fuck do you mean by that? Who cares how they live/work?

Damn, suddenly I don't feel so bad about living in Canada

Ausfag here,

Australia is fucking retarded. Imagine playing an RTS and all you do is harvest lumber, rocks and gold and trade it to your allies who then make shit with it which we then buy. That's Australia.

Australia is basically China

good summary, shit's fucked

This shit country doesn't make anything anymore. Ironic considering that for the past 7 years we've got the party that's supposedly supposed to be saving jobs and industries
all correct
