★ One of these competitors will go bankrupt -- pt 6 -- Computer Tycoon gameplay / let's play
8Let's play more Computer Tycoon! This isn't the first time Computer Tycoon gameplay has been featured on the channel, but following a massive November 2020 update, I wanted to play it again. This is a single developer game (who has gone through Some Stuff (tm)) and I want to show you how the game is developing. Spoiler: good so far.
★ Liked what you saw here? Got value out of being entertained and, maybe, laughing at my idiocy? Then throw some value my way via Patreon at https://patreon.com/kicgaming . You'll get access to my Discord, Patreon-only posts, and the warmth in your heart that results from directly supporting an independent content creator rather than throwing money at some nameless, faceless corporation that doesn't care about you, democracy, or anything else other than making money. Which, in fairness, is what I'm asking for from you: money. So I can make more content. Not because I'm a super wealthy movie villain. As if.

Computer Tycoon new features with the November 2020 massive 0.9.5.0 update:
New Logistic System
From now on you are not paying an upfront cost to sell in a given market. The whole logistic system is purely based on Logistic Points instead. Also, instead of Markets having a fixed LP price, it is you who decides how many LP points will you allocate to a market. With a single LP, you can already start selling. Then you are distributing your products by Resellers and for them, you are paying a percent of your income after every sold unit. This percent is the “Reseller Cut” that you can decrease by allocating more LPs to the market.
All the markets have a Sales Tax, too. When you decide where you’d like to sell, you have to consider these. The Sales Tax can be decreased in Capitalist Markets by making long time investments by building Factories or Research Centers there.
From now on you don’t have to sell in a Market just to be able to build a Site. These were separated.
New Map Modes
Many have asked for a Historical Map and a Simplified Map. I think it is obvious what it means. The first is more authentic and the second has only around 50 regions as Markets (like “Central Europe” or “Easter Africa” etc.) The Vanilla (Random) map also has a bit fewer markets, tho.
On the Historical Map, the Markets become Communist and/or Capitalist when it has happened in real life, on the others it is randomized. In “Closed Communist” Markets you cannot do anything. In “Open Communist” Markets you can sell your products, but you cannot build a Site, and in Capitalist markets, you can do anything and you can get Tax Discounts if you invest in it. When a market changes Type, let’s say it becomes from Capitalist to Closed Communist… then you lose your Site!
New Marketing System
The problem with the last Market System in the game was that many didn’t understand how it works, and on the other hand you were able to win without it. Likely these two were connected, why was it like that…
You cannot avoid the new Marketing System.
A computer on the market always needs marketing, so you constantly have to pay for it. You cannot turn it off. You have to decide about the campaign’s details (like the main target group, the channels, and preferences) before releasing the computer. The only thing you can change after that is its size.
Marketing Departments are decreasing your products’ marketing costs... but will you know how to set up your campaigns?
And much, much more!
