alt Hacker NewsThere's one area where EU software industry is on the cutting edge: The gaming industry.
Again, the platforms are all American but Europeans know how to make kick ass games that are delightful and awe inspiring. French, Polish, Ukrainians, Bulgarians, so many legendary people are from Europe.
They should hire game developer to guide the user experience and listen to them very carefully.

The salary difference between American and European Game Devs isn't as significant as it is for other segments of SWE.

There's only four things we do better than anyone else:
music

Not exactly correct. It is just the US studios that are failing because they are captured ideologically, and prioritise other things than making games people want to buy and play.
The EU has good studios, for now, on par with the asian market, but they run the same risk as the US.
