Let the record show that this LP ended due to a LP of Fallout.

It's not exactly dead - but....the hassle of getting the save game back ....I gotta plug the old tower back in..I'll do it once my Fallout LP is done, but I think this game ends in like 4-5 more updates, once I start buying EVERY SINGLE Company out there. BWAHAHAHHA.

It never really ends, though. You know all you're doing when you buy out some guy's company is giving him even more money to start yet another one with. The big winners are the guys you're buying out, because you're paying them way more than it's worth. They're making a killing off this business model of starting companies that you will then buy at any price.

Couldn't you just, you know, build up a huge cash reserve, and considering no company is as big as yours, greater than that of any competitor, and then sell everything at a loss until all others go bankrupt?

Take note. I only buy profitable companies. Hence I am acquiring 'businesses' not stock trading ones or R&D trolling firm. I think you probably can declare victory once your department stores occupies the whole city tiles..leaving nothing but suburbs for your competition to nibble at.

I set the game at no time limit too. So yeah, it's a sandbox victory when you retire. :)

I'm trying to envision a world in which your stores and factories have occupied the entire city, leaving nowhere for your customers to actually live. Perhaps you should invest in some of those, too.

Pffft. Liar. You just abandoned capitalism and succumbed to a perverse free communist game.

I thought this game is pretty much over already? The amount of domination we achieved, and no ending set goal pretty much is just it.

Perhaps I should launch the Land Raider before resigning and retiring.

Oh, jesus! We're back! How long it's been, gawds!

I pushed the glass door open. The PCC office. It's been months since I've stepped in, I wonder how Gabriel is doing. He's been doing most of the work while I'm fooling around.

gabe.jpg
Holy shit, Steve! I mean- Boss! Where've you been?

Long story. How's business, Gabe?

gabe.jpg
We're still number 1, Boss!

Just send the data to my desktop. I'll go through it.

gabe.jpg
Alright, boss! Here's the key to your office!

Minutes later.
01.jpg


Goddamn, this is...this is the filter button, right? Factories, factories, hmmm..

02.jpg


Ah company filter. Now, let's see our holdings.

03.jpg


So this makes bed...blue bar is supply. Red bar is demand. Looks fine here... *taps key.*

04.jpg


Oh. Toy train, more demand than supply. Profit's good though... Next. *Yawn*

05.jpg


Ouch, looks like no demand for this...Jesus..this is getting boring...

06.jpg


This KKKola factory isn't even making a sale, what the fuck? *jams the intercom* GABE! Office!

Moments later...
gabe.jpg
Sup, boss?

I'm tired, Gabe. I'm here for only 15 minutes and I feel like leaving all this behind. What is this, why isn't the factory optimized? Why aren't we selling most of our stocks?

gabe.jpg
Well, it could be...that...our outlets are insufficient?

Good point. Damn. What's this? A pile of mails on my desk

gabe.jpg
Well, those are fan letters, boss. They miss you. Kinda. Here. Let me read one of them.

Wait, wait...don't.

gabe.jpg
"Dear Mr. Santos, I have a good friend who likes to run alot."
gabe.jpg
"His name is Sonic. He can run, really, really fast. But I'm worried if he'll hurt himself one day. Can you please make the car available soon?"
gabe.jpg
"Regards, Miles "Tails" Prower"
gabe.jpg
Boss, you okay?

....I think...I think I got something on my eyes.

gabe.jpg
I'll get you a napkin...one moment...

NO! IT'S FINE! *punches the table* OUT OF MY OFFICE! I'LL FIX THIS!

gabe.jpg
OK, boss! :salute:

So. They've called for me. Waiting. Counting on me. And what have I been doing? Goddamnit. It's time to fix this. It's almost two decades...it's time to bring this to an end!

Music: DE-DE-DE-DECADE!

07.jpg


873 mil available for loan. 25 mil available funds.

08.jpg


Let's get to work.

09.jpg


Tehran. I control most of the retail operations, not all, but close to all existing Dept. Stores are PCC's. There's still plenty of lots in the urban sector available for dept. store placements. Time to fix that.

10.jpg


Damn, my layout library is gone!

11.jpg


It's alright, I can still copy existing ones...

12.jpg


There, one mall ready. Time to notify Gabe about this new mall to manage...

Days and a dozen malls later...
13.jpg


I don't give a fuck.

14.jpg


MOAR!

15.jpg


...Let them do what they want.

16.jpg


There, Tehran is ours.

17.jpg


So is Baghdad.

18.jpg


Pittsburgh!

19.jpg


Kuwait!

20.jpg


DO IT!

21.jpg


Cash flow's improving, I must be doing something right.

22.jpg


This might be overkill...but...

23.jpg


Madang!

24.jpg


And....Cairo!

25.jpg


What now bitches?!
