i've been a software dev for nearly 10 years now and let me tell you this game is accurate (except the part where i get to raise my own wages) it's a stunning and deep management sim, knowledge of game/software/web development helpful but not required

One of the most complex and feature rich management sims based around software/games/IT you could ask for If you've wanted a sim/business game based on anything vaguely IT related, this game has nearly complete freedom for you to do anything you want to whether its programs, servers, distribution, publishing, game development, software development, operating systems, consoles, hardware, stocks, and so forth Its quite complex and overwhelming to get into, but its an amazing game, with the ability to play online with friends or solo as is

An amazing game with an amazing solo developer. He's been working on this game for a long time, but is still supporting and updating this game. Would highly recommend!

This game has been in the works for years, It's a great and fun game. To maximise income in the game requires some thought and can be really in depth. It goes from managing a software IP design to creating and managing a dozen projects at once, making great teams to make it. You can invest and buy out companies and commit tax fraud. But it's also a game where you can chill, enjoy the music and manage a small company. All in all, this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it definitely is mine, props to the devs they've done a brilliant job.

I hired a woman who didn't like my bathrooms. I ignored her complaints. She resigned from the company and proceeded to sue me because of said bathrooms. 10/10 best Tycoon game on Steam.
