Sometimes, when I am having an existential crisis about work-life balance and the nature of keeping up a middle class lifestyle in a time of mass economic instability, I come back to my playthrough of this game to remind myself that all it takes is good planning, competent leadership, a vision, and occasional infusions of VC money to make magic happen for the many, not simply the few.
Got it on sale and it's a fair price. Gameplay loop is enjoyble for a couple playthroughs. Once you know what's what, it's just a matter of how quickly you get to the point where you start buying stuff using an army of sales execs. Oh and absolutely use a mod to bulk order. In my latest playthrough I aimed for 200 sales execs. With somewhat optimized early game you get there very quickly. Then you really ramp it up. By day 800 you can easily have all websites maxed out with 2 video ads and ad obfuscator earning about 500m per day per website. Then it's all about watching the numbers go up.
Startup Company: Is a fun business simulator, but it is definitely only for certain players. The idea is great. You start as the CEO of a small tech startup and try to grow your company into a major website business. You hire employees, build office space, create components, develop features, manage servers, handle contracts, and try to compete with bigger tech companies. For a strategy or simulation fan, the early and mid-game can be really satisfying. The gameplay loop is fun at first. You are always hiring, upgrading, expanding, and trying to make your company more efficient. But after a while, it does become repetitive, slow, and frustrating. The game has good ideas, but the grind starts to stand out the longer you play. The 100% completion is the biggest issue for me. It is a real grind and becomes annoying and too long. I enjoyed the game, but going for everything made some parts feel more like work than fun. I would recommend Startup Company to strategy fans and simulator fans who enjoy business management games and slow progress. If you want a quick or exciting 100%, this is not the game for you. Overall, it is fun, but the grind holds it back.
