The problem is that laying out the groundwork is fucking hard and time-consuming. IDK exactly how long TES:VI spent in pre-production, but it had to have been at least 4-5 years with a dedicated team of dozens of full-time devs, and it's only recently that they announced that they're finally out of pre-production and onto the production phase. That's what it takes to "lay the groundwork".

This isn't a Westerner-exclusive problem. It's a scope problem. Doujins are tiny, and doujin collaborations are generally just a few people making their own pages/songs centered around a common theme, then thrown together. It's not anywhere close to the scope of a full commercial game.

IMO if you think you need ideaguys, then you lack the vision. You need a director to tell you want to do, not an ideaguy.
