Vic2 is the best if you like economics and diplomacy mainly, I don't like war so it's my favourite. It's nothing like Hoi4

yea, scanned and nothing came up on my end, not even false positives that get flagged in some cracked software.

the anno series is quite fun, maybe not really a business simulator but an economy simulator

Simcity 2000. My business rating was always way down for some reason and i never figured out why.

>>50355474
Weird. When I extracted the files and ran the exe file my Avast blocked creation of some files when I started new game.

>>50352991
Lmao I actually had to play this and give a short speech for a grade 8 business class assignment

Recettear.
It teaches you the world is about feeding the loan sharks.

>>50353112

Yeah, but the distances are compressed, so you're not getting the same realism and sense of scale. I demand fully autistic 1:1 scale maps.

I've recommended this game on /biz/ too many times to count now.
It's a shame there aren't more modern games like this today.

SimFarm is a good simulation of the business side of farming

Anyone remember a game from the 80’s where you inherit money and play for 30 years trading 150 companies? It was remade later without allowing the usual tricks. (You could buy up a company with a lot of tax losses carried forward, maneuver it into a tech industry, set research to maximum, and wait.)

Or you could just play the OG Railroad Tycoon.

Wall Street Raider, a game in development since 1985. It's the Dwarf Fortress of financial simulation

>This Wall Street investment simulation is widely recognized as the ultimate in sophisticated financial simulations. It's a corporate takeover and stock market game, in which players strive to build their corporate empires by fair means or foul, all the while trying to stay one step ahead of the SEC, IRS, Justice Department, EPA, Congress, powerful unions, corrupt governments, and ruthless competitors who will crush you if you fall into a weakened financial situation -- not to mention various man-made and natural calamaties and economic disasters you will have to survive.

Based and puzzle pilled. That game really gave me a taste of what it would be like to own a small store, and the fact that it involves having your cash tied up into a ton of stock that you then had to sell for a tiny profit margin, barely recouping what you put in.
Was so much easier to just make a ton playing poker. But then people started playing poker like retards and it became a a lotteryfest, quit not long after.

back when it was actually good, nothing was better

Do you think Sseth browses biz? I've seen screenshots of biz fly by in some of his videos, but it's hard to say whether he just dug up some memes or actually posts. He seems like he'd fit right in.

I feel like a gaming background helped in some way

I was an early days Runescaper >>50360161
>Runescape

I feel like there is a linked factor here to whyRunescape leads into crypto. It's like a combination of a certain class, mixed with a double digit hour (per day) gaming hobby and triple digit IQ. All the actual middle class+ kids were playing WoW, because $5 vs $15/month didn't matter to them and didn't need a game to run in a browser lmfao

Never played EVE, but I played escape velocity nova which was a kino spaceship game

>>50352991

I remember getting this game from a cereal box when I was like 8.

harvest moon

wuw for vex?

WoW and manipulate the market on the auction house

just play path of exile and be a trade warrior.

>>50369321
honestly not the worst idea, you can make some nice side money during the first 4 weeks of a league too if you RMT your shit when you're done
it's not much but extra $500-1000 for running a crafting bot and keeping up some trade alerts

>>50352991
Animal Crossing

Depends. Celcius and Luna redditors hopefully all kill themselves.

>>50352991
When I was younger I used to enjoy pretty much every game I played and the better ones literally sucked me in for days. For the last ~5 years each game I try bores me after an hour or even sooner. Are the games shit now or did I get old and grumpy? The last game I actually enjoyed thoroughly was fucking Thumper

>>50369535
Games didn't get worse, as a kid you just didn't know better. I know that feeling bro as a kid I had the shittiest games yet I loved them all.

>>50369535
the games dont change, the way you play video games changes my dude.

when i was a kid exploring runescape or maplestory for the first time its all about exploring a new world that could have anything you can imagine in it, maybe even unimaginable things. by the time i started playing wow i was "good" enough at gaming in general to start learning the economy and how to grind efficiently from day 1. by the time i decided to play path of exile, before i even hit character creation i was already googling what builds can be min-maxed the hardest, because i sure as FUCK wont be wasting my time playing a suboptimal build, fun be damned. Unfortunately getting good means having less fun :(

>>50369638
>>50369646
This has to be one of the worst things about getting old because nobody has warned me this would happen. I know my body would gradually get shittier etc., but nobody told me I'd stop enjoying 90% of stuff that I used to love. I just get bored so quickly. Even fucking drugs are not as much fun as they used to be

While it could be this or "the way you play video games" as other anon mentioned, how old are you?

This sounds pretty much how my vidya addiction passively began to subside. I just couldn't get into ANYTHING.. I'd be into the IDEA of playing video games, but actually picking one from my library and sticking through with it was becoming a rare event interleaved with binging some never-ending multiplayer game like PUBG, rocket league, dead by daylight

It could just be your mind realizing that the games are ultimately limited ways of interacting with the world. The only things possible are what some human designers at a company could fit within the time limit and budget. If it's not programmed, it's not possible.

There's only so many things that can be seen in gaming. Couple that with 20-50% of the industry moving to shit like loot boxes, drip feeded progession that requires 1000 hours, etc and I think my mind had seen enough

Peak gaming for me was 2007 (freshman in HS) and probably because it was still social for me. Games were taking the biggest leaps in tech and hadn't been totally infested with microtransactions or other dumb crap yet

My recommendation if this resonates with you: just quit gaming. Why force yourself to get back into liking games? What's the benefit?

Mass uninstall, join a martial arts gym, learn about crypto, and
maybe play 1-3 matches of something like DbD after work, but don't force yourself to.

Lastly, after quitting for a bit, more regular life activities will seem more appealing to you; they'll literally be more fun to engage in. Vidya fucks you up by making anything else in life feel boring or like a chore because it "doesn't compare" >>50369709
>I just get bored so quickly.

>>50369748
>Mass uninstall, join a martial arts gym, learn about crypto, and
oh I meant to add that you can replace vidya with tabletop games (in a social setting). I got really into tabletop RPGs. check our Free League publishing's catalogue.

It at least makes your gaming social. Do it with a crew of friends though, not online. I met my group at the gym

nice reddit post frendo you have heckin good opinions

That's not a game. It's Chip and Dale's MMORPG

I came here to say this. It’s a great game of supply and demand, think I’ll play it this weekend. I really like the daily challenges.

Tropico

>>50374232
shadow president. old but you have to play old games to avoid pozzed agendas.

Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic
>but anon, gommienism isn't /biz/
This game has commie aesthetics, but what you do is you build an entire country on top of unspoiled nature, extract its resources to feed your ever growing industrial machine, and export your excess production for massive gains. Think factorio meets sim city with a dash of transport tycoon. Not for brainlets.

>>50364194
Agreed. 2007-2012 EVE was peak online ludo.

>>50353112
I never understood truck simulator, why not just get a job and get paid to waste your time instead

>>50353112
I had to take an abstinence from the trucking game. It's too good especially with mods. I dropped my phone and crossed the yellow lines and it gave me real life "you fucked up A-A-ron" feelings.
I like driving and hauling trailers and in the winter when I'm off it's a fun time to crank the speakers up and drive some big goofy stretched semi truck across the desert 90mph overweight.
All the little towns they mapped are super realistic, I visited my buddy's area in New Mexico and Idaho and he ran out in his car to send me Snapchat of the road I was on in the game
