Seems weird to critique "western game devs"

Developers of any region can be terrible.

I've never heard anyone accuse of game of being "western jank" but I've heard plenty be called "eurojank" or "slavjank."

Doesn't make 'em bad. Some of my favorite games are slavjank. Like STALKER.

"westjank" should mean always-online singleplayer experiences with kernel anti-cheats and 300 gb crash logs

Japanese game devs would NEVER. Because their bosses literally chain them to the desk until their code built from scratch works flawlessly.

(This belief may be out of date)
