I am not sure if culture is the right term.

But the internet, programming languages and especially global gaming certainly is English. You do not speak/write with players all over the world in Spanish or Chinese. You use English.

The #1 language is broken English.

But maybe culture is the right word after all, if you consider developer teams that are also from all over the world. Unless they share a language by coincidence, the project language is bound to be English. I mean, English native is probably a minority on Itch in general. The other post mentioned only 30% traffic from US. And I count at least 4 non native English speakers in this thread alone. All writing in English.

Translating into (bad) English is something most developers would be able to handle without helpers.

It sure looks like that from the English-speaking parts of the internet.

In truth, several other languages (like Chinese and Russian) have what is practically their own internet. Westerners don’t hear much about those parts of the internet because they don’t speak the native language and because they are not welcome there, but I assure you that they exist.
