Don't be fooled by the long EA release , this game is a gem . I have played on and off for the last years and the difference is big. You can go gaming route , platform (steam) , CPU/GPU etc so many branches of IT and harware and go big (especially with mods) 10/10 i would go AMD and destroy greedvidia in the market share again because why not

I have been playing this game since 2017, no other game that I have comes close to my playtime on this one. Seeing how far this game has come has been amazing, and I have loved it every step of the way. I will say my favorite addition has been the multiplayer :)! I haven't even bought any other simulator of this type because of how in depth it is, I learn something new or do something different every playthrough! So many different ways to make and run your company, and the building makes it a fun and very relaxing game for me just to wind down and lose time with! I cannot recommend this game enough, and made this my first review on steam just to say so!

This game deserves a lot of praise. It's been in early access for 12 years, which some people might think is a bad thing, but in this case it really isn't - the dev has continued to provide updates for free this whole time. It's moving finally towards 1.0, but still, the game is in a fabulous state. It's well past "software" at this point - it's super deep. You can develop nothing at all and just play the stock market. You can open up a digital store (think: steam) and deal with all of the server and network problems that come with that. You can start life as a marketer and only take subcontracted marketing jobs from other companies and functionally live on being a consultant. You can also just do the typical "game dev tycoon" thing and develop video games, or operating systems, or whatever else, and ship those in the same kind of way. Oh, well, except there's a whole simulated physical media system - so like, how are those games getting to people? well, you need to either only distribute them digitally, or, much more likely, get them printed into disks and shipped places - which you could do yourself or subcontract. Or, hell, you could buy a bunch of printers and get contracts to produce physical media for other companies. Oh, or you could design and build hardware with a whole-ass production line in a warehouse of your own design. Or you can build hardware as a subcontractor and just become a middle-man and never produce anything original yourself. It's crazy deep - it may as well at this point be called "tech industry inc", because you really can do anything in that space, which is awesome. What a game, what a dev - definitely worth the money if you're a fan of tycoons, simulators, or tech stuff in general.

Great game, missed all the tycoon indie games from early 2010s For some reason they all just kind of died off and got forgotten and people stopped making games like the gamedevtycoon and madgames. My playtime is deflated because i already put a few hundred hours into it on a pirated copy! Worth actually buying even if you are a pennypincher like me.

If you're like me and kept going back to Game Dev tycoon every now and then, this game basically replaced that for me in 2017. It's good. It's great.
