Can Squid Game Survive an American Remix?

Netflix is betting big on an American spinoff of Squid Game, but is the cultural translation even possible?

Or can it reinvent itself for a Western audience without becoming just another reality show? Let’s debate: can Squid Game keep its bite in translation? #SquidGame #StreamingWars #CulturalAdaptation #Games #VideoGames
