At first I tried to be artistic and create new experiences, but that didn't sell, so I learned how to make RPGs, created couple of franchises and milked them dry. Ended the game with 500mil in the bank. Gaming industry is such a gaming industry

silly game maker sim with interesting mechanics and sliders you'll spend hours giving your games names like "poo flinging simulator" that get 11/10 reviews and sell 1 Billion copies. Then you'll make an actual, down to earth game called something dramatic like "Surviving the fall", an story based survival game with steering wheel support that gets 0/10 with a review saying "This was horrible"
