I Beat Game Dev Tycoon Without Making Any Games

Welcome to the latest and greatest game dev tycoon game where you must setup and run a game development company, make games, fans, money and fame. Todays game is mad games tycoon 2 a more advanced version of game dev tycoon 2 that allows you to buyout competitor companies. My goal today is to beat the game without making a single game! That's right we are going to beat a game dev tycoon game without making games! And guess what its very very overpowered! So its time to get comfortable as the spiffing brit breaks yet another brand new steam indie game with the weirdest strategy yet! We will watch as big gazza attempts to start his very own fake video game development company and eventually grow it using exploits and glitches to astronomical heights that hopefully will let him buyout the great evil entity of nintendo! Ok its actually called mintendu but you get the picture!
if you want to take a look at mad games tycoon 2 on steam then you can but be warned the steam summer sale 2023 is over! store.steampowered.com/app/13...
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.

Those days are kind of over, but back when physical media was pretty much the only option for consoles it was very common. ICO and Shadow of the Colossus got bundled together, God of War, Kingdom Hearts. That sorta things. As long as the price isn't absurd. I was very happy to pick up the Shadow of the Colossus and ICO bundle for $30 on my PS3 back in the day.

shit gaming hardware has gotten so good that they have gotten so bad in optimization that we no longer see improvements.

[@andersonklein3587]

I think it speaks a lot to the maturing of the devs in this industry that the first game was about working hard on your passion for video games and making art, trying to genuinely make good combos and greatly punishing you for rushing or repeating yourself. Whereas the 2nd game has a corporate air, and such a huge emphasis on marketing and lots of options for cheating. Kind of sad, would be cool if the world worked more like the 1st game and less like the 2nd.

[@arandomcommenter412]

But it wouldn’t be an accurate portrayal, no?

[@thesteelrodent1796]

The 3rd game will likely come with the ability to whore out your ip to the film industry, retna scan tech, digital currency scams both centralized and decentralized, and the ability to refuse to issue refunds for purchases and then deactive purchases remotely.

[@dustinbaugh601]

Oh and the ability to ban accounts for calling you out on fake reviews.

[@dustinbaugh601]

and finally the ability to lobby (bribe) the government to overlook your crimes and to try to win court cases when it backfires because too many people caught wind of it.

I don't understand how digital releases of games can eventually be "taken off the market." With physical releases, this makes sense.

You can keep selling them forever, even if they don't work anymore! Looking at you Steam!
