That's not really the case. Ubisoft, Valve, CD Projekt, and several other major Western studios have been so adamant about not selling that the mere rumor of a hostile takeover provokes buybacks.
Valve has never even been public.
I'll agree with that because I lost a whole ass word on my sentence(was supposed to be -recent- corporate culture). But yeah, did not mean that it's impossible for a western dev to get good and stay good or independent, just that it was supposed to be a recent trend.
Even though Larian was founded in the late 90s iirc, dunno how the success of BG3 will be handled.
