Virtonomics - business simulation gameReviews of virtonomics.com

J’ai commandé un produit sur Virtonomics, et je dois dire que l’expérience a été décevante. Le site propose une variété de choix, mais la livraison a été lente et le produit n’était pas dans l’état espéré. Le service client a été peu réactif, et je me sens un peu perdu dans le processus d’achat. Peut-être que je n’ai pas bien compris comment ça fonctionne, mais je m’attendais à plus de professionnalisme. Dommage, car j’ai déjà envisagé de revenir pour d’autres achats.

On paper it's an interesting idea to combine Capitalism Lab (CL) with a browser MMO. Unfortunately, it just ends up being a very tedious and more expensive experience. Most of my time was spent tweaking numbers for sale prices and supply lines, which annoyingly change every day. There's no managers that can auto tweak this for you like in CL. Some of the mechanics are really obscure, so you end up scratching your head why stores aren't selling products that are twice the avg quality and half the avg price in a city that has no competitors. Is this a multiplayer game? I honestly can't tell. There's no feeling of community: no forum, no chat, just links to some Reddit and Facebook accounts that have been dead for years. The other companies could just be bots and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. The pricing is just ridiculous, with raw materials production costing real money, and the cheapest monthly subscription being around 20$, and tons of annoying microtransactions for basic stuff. For 20$ you can just get a one time purchase of CL, for a total of 60$ with all DLC. That is waaay more content for a better price. And you can play it at your own pace since it's single player, so you don't have to wait for an hour long server updates (I kid you not).

I just wish the price for GP is much cheaper. To purchase 500 GP gonna cost me a fortune month-worth-average-salary playing in my country. As I grew along the game, I started to realized how raw produce will require GP, it just killed the motivation. Now I understand why selling underwear in Nigeria for $15000 is possible because not many players can pay that much of real money to produce and compete. On top of that, people in Nigeria don't mind to pay for it, made it unrealistic game-balance for players who are not able to pay as much. I don't feel like playing for much longer anymore, although this is such a wonderful game.

Unverständlich, es wird sozusagen dazu gedrängt echtes Geld auszugeben um virtuelles Geld verdienen zu können. Produktionskettenund Lieferketten können nur 1× gesetzt werden pro Gebäude. Heißt um zum Beispiel T schirts herzustellen muss ich Tierfutter in Brasilien herstellen dieses dann an mich selber verkaufen damit ich in Schweden Schafe züchten kann um Wolle herzustellen. Diese muss ich mir wieder selbst verkaufen um Material für die T schirt herstellen zu können, jetzt kommt mein Problem ich kann anscheinend nichts anderes aus der gleichen Produktionsgruppe herstellen so wie sagen wir mal flippt Flops. Das muss geändert werden. Weil in echt lauft eine fabrik ja auch nicht nur mit einem Produkt sondern mit mehreren Artikeln die ähnliche herstellungsmerkmale haben.

I think the concept of Virtonomics is great. It is however, not set up for the enjoyment of all. You can't get anywhere in the game unless you buy status and Game Points (GP). I've gone bankrupt and have needed to restart 4 times in the last month. Sadly, it's a pay to play only if you want to succeed. To succeed you need to have a well trained manager. To have a manager with high skills, you have to spend Game Points. From what I've seen, the only way to get Game Points is by purchasing them. Again, a really great concept, just impossible to play unless you pay a lot of money.

I have been playing this game for over 3 years now with much pleasure. Unfortunately, the developers decided to remove all the interesting features for free-to-play players (auctions, bonds and structures). It hurts to give only 2 stars because this used to be a great game, but it is what is is.

Best Business Simulator out there. Additionaly possible to learn much more than only Business. EDIT: Since 1 or 2 days the game has become Pay to Win. Really sad how they made free content now only available with a subscription only. I would have some understanding if they put new content behind a subscription wall but not old already existing and some crutial ones...

you had me buy crypto units with MY bitcoins and you quickly cancelled that feature without any type of compensation to me.
