Was looking for games to play and found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_(video_game)

Hmm, do I want to play it? Let's see what it's about โ€“

It follows Jesse Faden, the new Director of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), a secret U.S. government agency.... as she arrives at the Oldest House, a featureless Brutalist skyscraper in New York City

Ew, sounds very American/imperialist... must be made by Americans...

Let's see who's behind it โ€“

It's just sad, and a little bit pathetic.

People from vassal states feel when they make creative content, they can't make their own stuff, they have to play-act as Americans for the creative process..

Is it to target the market? Are they ashamed of who they are? Do they not feel their own culture is valid?

They even have some self-awareness about it. From the first Wikipedia article linked โ€“

There was a desire to make the game feel less "American";[51] Lake said he had been yearning to add his native Finland to one of their games. Finnish actor Martti Suosalo voices the janitor Ahti, one of the game's supporting characters.
