African countries have been flooded by Chinese goods, to the point that it has killed the local manufacturing in Africa. Look it up.
They don’t have the service industry the west has, so the only thing they can offer in return are raw materials, which China is happy to take.

China isn’t really desperate for cheap natural resources as much as they are desperate for markets to export their manufactured goods.
Thus killing local manufacturing.

The margins on the gamedev industry are not that large, you should read some testimonies from veterans. It’s a ruthless industry.
Games take years to make, and you can’t change engines now if your game is about to come out.
People who made it that far up are usually very driven, their job is their whole identity.
It’s probably hard to walk away from something they dedicated so much of their life to. More so if it involved sacrificing time for relationships, family, friends, etc.
