Half of the divergance is sanctions slowing adoption of gaming and the other half is people taking ages arguing on changing laws that hinder gaming once it gets past the sanctions
If your communist government don’t want you to play game Go to Vietnam and enjoy unrestricted access to every gaming things you can dream off But you need money for those goodies
A little fun Fact: One of the reason of isolation in communist country was because of Stalin, He was pretty conservative, nationalist and protectionist and fear foreign influence. Communist has expend the most during his era so that can explain a lots about all the mentality of their system. In North Korea they have a clone of the NES and no many games, but they have Street Fighter 2 and a lots of RPG inspire by Asian Folk (mainly Korean folk)
Had no idea North Korea had an NES clone, how did you find this out? When I tried to find info about North Korean gaming consoles I hit one hell of a brick wall lol And yeah Stalin really did a number on the USSR, not the best situation
@@ariaownsyou Yeah when you have an ideology that calls for violent civil war in other countries it turns out those other countries arent gonna like you that much
Really cool video, I appreciate a lot you giving the pure information available and not going for the cheap anti-communist stuff people usually say in this kind of video, very informative and straight to the point
Yeah that’s a big reason I added Vietnam at the end, to show that it’s not really about the political ideology of the country but more the restrictions enforced by the government regardless of ideology. Glad you enjoyed though man, hope you have a good day
**talks about video games** "by the way guys, I really hate communism for ruining games, communists never made video games with any lasting effect, especially the USSR. As we all know, Capitalism breeds good video games, except the woke ones" - Some Video Essay guy or smth idk.
@@spaghetti0356 Lol, that or the much more subtle and somehow more annoying "The games in North Korea, the place with absolutely no freedom, where the government starves it's population and people can't smile, and the Soviet Union, where you could go to a Gulag for having a pair of socks" type of bs
I live in Cuba... the real deal is getting internet access, the even bigger deal is being able to afford a decently speedy one. Then from that point you get every game for free - you will never be able to get them legally anyways Also if you don't have internet you can buy copies from people who run 'game banks'... basically guys with tons of cracked games on external drives - they put their own prices and so on
Games could took off in these countries if it's wasn't have communist goverments in the first place. communisn is the exact reasone why gaming didn't took off here
I can say that Sega Master System was quite officially in the catalogs during the perestroika I doubt that anyone had the opportunity to actually buy the console in that era, much less cartridges, but I saw an officially translated into Russian manual for the console with all the copyrights listed In addition, in the late 80s, when cooperatives appeared in the USSR, it was possible to buy the first Taiwanese-made Famiclones, but again there was no opportunity to buy cartridges
you should credit some of the footage you used in this, i think any interested in this would be super interested in that cloth map video you used in the Cuba section.
BTW the Cuban indie game is called ‘Saviourless’
Completely forgot to mention it in the video - my bad
Other countries: restrictions and shits
Vietnam: yeah we chill
Real

That’s fascinating actually, similar story with Hungary actually too. Your English is good don’t worry lol
Also thank you I appreciate it
@Ginzie Not being a Warsaw Pact nation gave Yugoslavia a pass to do business with the west.
@@ChristopherSobieniak of course, they just got freed by the Axis oppressors, why would they want to replace one with another?

Totally not because the entire world was incredibly hostile to the first ever socialist state. It was just all conservative stalin.

This video deserves more views it was really good

That’s really interesting actually, fair play
One of my earliest gaming memories is playing Dr Mario on one of those modified Sega Megadrives that played NES games
I've never thought about how games are developed in communist countries until black myth wukong, this was very informative
Thank you thank you, had fun with this topic
Imagine if Video Games took off in Communist countries and the Western ones were behind.
God... Imagine Communist Touhou.
Touhou is communist already I gotta say. Pretty much the common intellectual property.
Games could took off in these countries if it's wasn't have communist goverments in the first place. communisn is the exact reasone why gaming didn't took off here
Really cool video, It definitely deserves to blow up. Your editing and script is really high quality
Cheers man means a lot, been trying to use after effects a bit more
Great video! Have never thought about this!
I am extremely thankful that even if I am born in a shitty country, I get to enjoy the amount of freedom that some parts of the world cannot.
thank you ginzie gaming
Age of empires was very popular in Vietnam in 2010s
Thank you Ginzie gaming 😊
You should take a trip to Vietnam & China, it will open your eyes.
I’d love that actually, my dad did something similar
Should have talked about GDR they had arcade games.
Ah that would’ve been a good idea actually, could make a part two with countries I missed like Angola
I remember playing in the cuban intranet, fun times
How does this not have a couple thounsd views?

Lmao you didn’t even mention the name of the Cuban game
Lol no I didn’t did I, will chuck it in the description when I get home from work. Games called saviourless
in Russia we have piracy :D

I agree with the crediting footage thing, just thinking my channels so small that it doesn’t make a difference. What do you mean cloth map video tho?
So what's the name of that Cuban game?
Saviourless, completely forgot to say in the video. Will pin a comment now
Great video comrade, keep up and you can leave country.
“Updoots for Le heckin comrade! Let’s play le Sino-Korean PC adventure game!”
Way to drop the ball with North Korea.
There is no such thing as a "communist country".
Imagine how gaming would be if capitalism didnt destroy art with greed.
