The gaming industry is huge and nearly all the big guys are from the US (Epic, Valve, EA, etc).

From EU, there is Ubisoft (Assassins Creed), CD Projekt Red (Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher) and Embracer (Kingdom Come).

Nintendo is non-US at least.

    GOG store is also to keep in mind. It’s run by CDProject and offers DRM free games

    Fuck the “big guys”. Yes, that includes Ubisoft.

    Valve … is unfortunate. They have done really good work for gaming on Linux. But even if they are eternally good-willed (which already seems a bit much to describe the current state, and I assume this will take a sharp downturn once Gabe Newell is not in charge anymore), they are US-based and that carries inherent risks.

    Paradox is Swedish (Stellaris, Crusader Kings).

    Factorio and Kingdom Come 1/2 is Czech.

    Really there are a lot of games. Just not many AAA games.
