Westerners don't improve on anything. Westerners are useless when they're not INNOVATING, and suck at making incremental Engineering improvements. And it's not a "blind spot" that's unique to indies. The problem is that every single indie is WESTERN and western games have been strictly RENT-ONLY with exceptions granted in rare, limited cases since the 1983 gaming crash.

I bought the Turok 2 remaster for like $5 or downloaded it for free last month and it was HORRIBLE. I beat the entire first level which was labyrinthian af and was told that I Failed and had to go back to the beginning because I missed some obscure objective or another. Imagine if I'd paid $70 in 1998 for this, jfc. It's always been like this. Mortal Kombat - Scummy and lurid; Street Fighter - a tour de force with exquisite gameplay a the series progressed. You just have to be very careful with western-made games because they are so often so thoroughly horrible.
