Do the europeans even make games? Besides CCP.
They should be welcoming booth girls then to their expos, since they have the highest chance of sleeping with them.
It almost seems that football helps create good games, but soccer only makes you dumber towards games. Am I the only one seeing this? I will not be voting in the CSM election, so you need to go vote to make up for me. |

Target audiences are fickle.
I expect French waiters to be rude, and if not, I question the quality of the restaurant.
I expect games companies dealing with archetypal character-based games to present their wares accordingly.
If the ladies are not wearing clothes that mirror the games, then it deserves scrutiny.

Well, the UK has the bulk of European game developers by output, with France on a distant second place, then some small amonts in Sweden, Germany and Denmark, and traces in Netherlands, Ukraine, Norway, Romania and Finland. Only a few work on AAA games though.
Let's see...
I suppose you are familiar with Lionhead Studios ("Black and White", Fable"), that's an UK games studio (or, well, was, as it's been bought by Microsoft).
Ever heard of the games called "Crisis" and "Far Cry", or that thing called "CryEngine" ? Crytek's headquarters are in Frankfurt, Germany, and it's been founded by three Turkish-descent German brothers.
You probably didn't hear much of "TravellerGÇÖs Tales" (another UK company), they make most of those "LEGO something" games, and a few of those movie spin-off games (meh).
How about "Rockstar North" (formerly known as DMA Design Ltd), with all those GTA games (and before, the Lemmings series) ? That's a UK game studio (in Scotland, to be more precise).
Hey, how about all those "Battlefield" games, made by an EA-purchased company called "Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment" (a.k.a. "DICE") ? That's a Swedish company (or, was, until it got bought by EA).
How about "The Secret World" (MMO), "Anarchy Online" (MMO) and "Age of Conan" (MMO), alongside "The Longest Journey" (classic adventure) ? That's all Funcom, a Norwegian game company.
Or maybe the "Prince of Persia" and "Assassin's Creed" series ? That's all Ubisoft, a French game company.
Or "Heavy Rain", or "Omikron : The Nomad Soul" ? That's Quantic Dream, also from France.
...
And the list can go on. Yeah, Europe makes quite a few of the games a lot of people think are USA-made :)

Try to stay on-topic-- we're talking about Euros suddenly losing their minds and banning booth girls! WTH? Europe has always been the world leader at understanding that sex is natural, healthy, and lots of fun. What's up with this suddenly acting like a bunch of hater American church ladies?

the stuff i edited out no one cares about besides GTA, no one even cares about lionhead either but i had to edit in bold microsoft = american company
ubisoft montreal = french = canadian, not france, those games were made in montreal
EA is an american company.

List of european studios.
Your list needs mention of CD Projekt RED, a polish studio which brought us The Witcher series.
Besides being quite refreshing in gameplay (good story and in game choices actually had consequences later on), it was famous for being a "state gift" from the polish to the american president during a state visit as well as for its.... liberal approach on intimacy; so much, in fact, that it was censored for the american audience (though nothing that a patch couldn-¦t take care of).

It not like in Europe we by much American stuff either. Film/TV, though that might just be the UK. Software, and some music. Most of the non-food suff we buy is made in Asia. The fact neither of us seam to make much for export may go some way to explain our current predicament... |

^ I am currently waiting for my tasty line of salted fiber to be a big hit in europe. Hopefully that will spark a trading war.
Speaking of Asia, I was always use to japan being the real creator of video games. Luckily I don't play any of those europe ones listed, only X3 and this game. I think come form europe, I have tried. I will not be voting in the CSM election, so you need to go vote to make up for me. |

Video games came from the United States in terms of invention.
Coinops (I believe) also came from the 'states, and probably home consoles also.
What I do recall vividly, is that the United States 'buried' the market they created and the only thing which saved it from oblivion was the Japanese console boom, with a fat Italian plumber as the mascot, leading the field.
Can you say "Atari video game burial" ?
Got to be one of the greatest unsubstantiated urban video game myths - right next to Hilmar's Lambo.

Did we have Bohemia interactive on the list ?
... and Ubisoft is apparently french ? Looking at the list of studios they seem to come from all over the world ...
On the claim that video games are a US invention, that's probably right.

See, thats what I like about Panama, booth babes for any kind of these events are not only needed but the main attraction of said events (housing, car sales, electronic expos, you name it) and if you know how to ask, you can pay them between 100 to 500$ for a small private "expo" afterwards.
Everyone wins.  Inner Sayings of BrujoLoco: http://eve-files.com/sig/brujoloco |

Anyway, you have to look more at where the game developer is, not where the publisher is. The ideas and gameplay come from the game developer. The guts to publish it or not come from the publisher. |

Yea, Screw the games! I want to see the girls because they are awesome. The shouldn't even have games there at all. I'm tired of seeing skinny and fat nerds and games mixed in with ladies in bikinis. They need to get rid of all that extra crap and jsut have to the ladies. They could call it Bikini-Con.
As I typed this out I realize that they already have this kind of convention. It's called "Spring Break" in Cancun, Mexico.... Stick around. I'm full of bad ideas. ~Isaac Clarke |
