CD Market - Music Label Sim

It’s a truly excellent game. I find a few aspects a bit odd, but ultimately, that doesn't affect the overall quality. It’s strange that the "Legacy" and "Sunset" phases for an artist are chosen completely at random; logically, the phase should be determined by the artist's body of work—how many "classic" tracks they’ve produced, and so on. I had an artist who was number one in the world—with several times more streams than anyone else and eight albums full of seasonal classics—yet they hit the "Sunset" phase. I was disappointed to see our long journey end that way. Since it’s also a business sim, I’d love to see a visual representation of myself as the CEO, as well as the heads of other labels. Also, if you start in the 50s, it would be really cool to have the option to hand over power to a successor. It would be great if labels actively poached artists, played dirty tricks—like outbidding for radio airtime or sabotaging advertising schedules—and so on. There should be more internal company events to make things feel alive; right now, relying solely on lawsuits doesn't cut it, and the company doesn't feel dynamic. Even the transition from vinyl to CD was handled so smoothly that you wouldn't even know there were crises involved, even though historically there were. Also, it’s odd that you can only release anniversary editions once; after all, Michael Jackson released reissues of *Thriller* three times after the original launch. There’s a lot more one could come up with, but none of that is the main thing. The game is already very engaging, though there is certainly plenty of room for ideas that could deepen the immersion.

Это лучшая игра для любителей менеджерить и для тех кто обожает музыкальный бизнес, я просидел в игре 9 часов (а это только период с 1950-ых по 1960-е), уверен что я убью здесь больше 100+ часов, разработчики, пожалуйста, добавляйте новые функции и контент, работа шикарная! Еще и за свою цену

It definitely has *that* gameplay loop that will suck you into the vortex for a week or so. Not sure if there are any planned updates or a sequel but the late game starts to drag a ton just due to the way the UI is set up and insufficient automation features for when you're established. I also just found the game to be way too easy at times, even hard mode isn't that difficult to figure out after a little trial and error. I offer these critiques less as complaints and more as suggestions for future updates or a potential sequel. That being said for the price I got a lot of hours out of this game and it definitely scratches the dopamine itch. This was genuinely a lot of fun and the devs clearly care about what they’re doing. Highly recommend.
