At the Canadian Game Awards, none of the top nominees featured Canadian settings, sparking debate about whether local developers should prioritize homegrown stories. Some indie creators face pushback from investors who say Canadian settings aren’t “globally marketable,” but others argue that Canadian culture is rich, unique, and worth celebrating—even in space or fictional landscapes. Games like Retroronto and North Shore prove that Canadian identity can be powerful, authentic, and wildly popular, even if it doesn’t fit the “global” mold.
