I was bummed out at first when I learned that the dev abandoned the game to work on KoR 2. But if I look at it objectively I support the decision, furthermore it was communicated openly, which I respect. About the game, you can easily bury 100+ hours until you realize that it jumped from like 0.18 to 1.0. If you buy it on sales, you will definitely get your money's worth.

I think it's understable to get angry at the developer for "abandoning the game" BUT there might be a good reason for it. You see this game has very very good aspects like you can not only run a shop but an entire company empire and even invest in real estate. But this game has also limits in the technical aspects and there are many quality of life features missing that makes playing it a chore of repeating the same steps over and over because you cannot automate them easily. I guess with the technical foundation of the game that's not easy to fix. So he might as well started developing the same game from scratch but much better this time with the money he earned. If the developer just abandons the game they often would announce an entirely different game. Because those developers who are just scammers in disguise won't expect you to fall into the same trap twice. But the fact that Freaking Games is just starting to develop the same game again is giving me hope. I think they are fully aware nobody will buy KoR 2 if it is the same or worse than KoR. I think I would be 100% angry if they just abandon King of Retail community and develop a game about zoo keeping which is just an lazy asset flip. But I really have hope they realized it's not possible to update KoR into being an fully amazing game so they decided to get a better technical foundation and then create the ultimate retail empire game.

i am actually addicted to this game... its keeping my mind busy and i am loving what is available. Waiting for the next game and curious to what industries will be up next for the empire. At the moment i am very very very happy with this game

King of Retail is a trailblazer of a game in the business simulation genre. It is simple, yet complex. Detailed, yet disheveled. It is beauty, it is grace. Whoever created this game, I hope they know they did a really good job. Big Ambitions is a similar comparable that came after, but this has a less polished feel like Trader Simulators, Drug Dealer Simulators, etc... But of that latter group, this game is by far the most polished and best organized. 9.75 / 10 Excellent Game!

It's an addictive game and once you start working on building your own corporation with multiple stores, you'll have a lot of playtime. You will have to pay attention and analyze the population, if you want to maximize profits wherever you open a store to decide what kind of products you want to sell. Some people only buy cheap stuff, others care much more about quality and so on. You can hire your own employes and manage them, and the whole business and management system is actually decently complex. It's a game that is very easy to learn, but it may take time to master I have only once encountered a bug, after taking out a loan I was unable to place items in the store. Save and restart solved the problem. Other than that I have found the game flawless
