Dec. 2025
I bought this game in early 2016, and to see how far its made it through the development cycle. Just wow. Even back then, the game was pretty solid. Now add proper logistics, stocks, better AI behavior, and reworked development cycles. And MANUFACTURING? There's a reason I have almost 800 hours in this game. I could write "I love this game" 500 times and it still wouldn't do it justice.

- Start in someone's garage shed, the founder, dreaming of OS empire while eating ramen. - Realize I can add co-owners; restart the game with 3 specialist-- one code wizard, one design diva, one art gremlin. - Start making OS dev, blow our tiny budget, while half my team bickers over coffee. - Cash evaporates; grind small dev contracts to scrape pennies and keep the lights flickering. - Resume OS work; money vanishes AGAIN-- set half of the team to keep grinding small dev contracts. - Finish OS at "exceptional" quality, print 1 mil copies. - Crickets. Zero marketing + already dated features = no sales. - Limp into OS 2 dev, repeat same cycle. - Release OS 2: fever sales. "Genius" me wonders if OS stands for "Only Starving" - Plot twist: OS 1 suddenly starts selling ka-ching! - Start hiring more employees, upgrade to skyscraper. - Release OS 3: sales go decent, but money keeps reducing. - Company goes bankrupt, employees lose jobs, software ip gets sold off. - Back it shed with my co-owners ready to try again. 10/10 would play again.

It's been in early access for 10 (!!!) years now. Like, at some point, just release the game. It gets a steady stream of updates, so just do it? It feels like being pregnant for 5 years.

One of the best business simulations out there. Yeah, its focused on software businesses, but the level of detail and depth is amazing. Well done.
