Big Tech Tycoon vs Dealer Simulator

The future of computing is under new management. Unfortunately, that management is you. Found a technology company between 1975 and 2000, then guide it from garage startup to global giant. Research technologies, hire employees, design software and hardware, build factories, launch campaigns, survive industry crises, and compete against rival corporations determined to own the future. BUILD THE STACK Create operating systems, productivity apps, browsers, developer tools, social platforms, and communication software. Design personal computers, servers, phones, smartphones, processors, graphics cards, memory, storage, displays, and more. Balance performance, compatibility, security, reliability, cost, and style. Rush a launch or polish it for years. The reviewers will have opinions either way. RESEARCH TOMORROW Advance through technologies spanning software, hardware, company operations, and semiconductor fabrication. Start with 8-bit processors and command lines, then progress through graphical interfaces, mobile computing, cloud platforms, machine learning, autonomous agents, and stranger futures. Lead the market, follow it, license it, or confidently miss it while explaining that consumers “weren’t ready.” BUILD IT OR PAY SOMEONE ELSE TO Construct assembly lines and semiconductor factories, design custom components, manage inventory, and expand production. Or outsource manufacturing and discover the timeless corporate tradition of blaming the supply chain. PLATFORM WARS Operating systems are products, platforms, and ecosystems. Create your own OS, license a competitor’s, attract developers, grow your installed base, and fight for market share. PLAY GUIDED SCENARIOS Start a custom sandbox company or jump into handcrafted scenarios with unique starting conditions, objectives, rivals, story events, and custom challenges. Rescue a chaotic 1990s computer maker in Pear In The Red, survive platform drama, rebuild developer trust, simplify broken product lines, or learn the basics in a gentler first-launch campaign. COMPETE FOR EVERY DESK, POCKET, AND SERVER RACK Five AI-controlled rivals research, manufacture, advertise, and launch products independently. They can dominate markets, copy your ideas, rush broken hardware to shelves, create successful platforms, or collapse under the weight of their own vision. SURVIVE THE INDUSTRY Face dynamic events involving shortages, leaks, lawsuits, security breaches, celebrity endorsements, whistleblowers, patent disputes, market crashes, tax audits, and viral memes. Products can run into trouble before release, including beta leaks, scope creep, architecture failures, QA concerns, and release-candidate panic. Your choices create immediate and long-term consequences. WATCH THE REVIEWS Your products are judged by fictional publications and suspiciously familiar industry personalities. Reviews consider quality, pricing, reputation, technical debt, ecosystem strength, trends, competitors, and launch-day bugs. Marketing calls them “unexpected user journeys.” READ THE NUMBERS Track customers, product reception, platform momentum, market share, revenue, reviews, rival releases, operating costs, and company health through detailed dashboards and statistics pages. RUN THE COMPANY Hire engineers, researchers, designers, marketers, managers, QA staff, support specialists, and advisors. Manage salaries, morale, loans, departments, projects, contracts, manufacturing, finances, and product lifecycles while trying not to run out of money. Premium Game: * One-time purchase shared between macOS and iOS * No advertisements * No subscriptions * No microtransactions Build products. Build fabs. Build platforms. Build an empire. Just remember to save before disrupting the industry.

You just took over Apex Motors, a franchise store that the last GM left bleeding. You have $120,000, thirty-eight cars, a service department that can't carry the building, and a rival across the highway that wants your best closer. Run every department like a real one: • THE FLOOR — hire from real résumés with traits that matter, turn dead deals over to the desk, work the be-back list, set objectives, run Saturday meetings and contests, pick from five pay plans, and take the big pencil yourself. • THE SHOP — a flat-rate catalog of real repairs with book times, a tech ladder from lube rack to shop foreman, an express lane, loaners, a tire program, a wholesale counter, EV tooling, a body shop, and service contracts that come back as repair orders. • THE BOOKS — deals that fund through contracts in transit, factory schedules, a twelve-item month-end close, budgets, used-car water, a controller, a bank that renews your line once a year, and owners who expect a distribution. • THE MARKET — new and used lines that age differently, a book value that drifts weekly, interest rates and gas prices that move the whole county. • THE 20 GROUP — a peer composite with sixteen KPIs, the guide set by the top half of stores like yours, and a monthly action plan you're held to. • THE EMPIRE — buy the corner lot, the buy-here-pay-here, two franchise points, and finally Crestline itself. Ask Diesel, the old-timer who wanders your lot, anything about the business. Take on a twelve-scenario campaign with stars: the embezzler, the flood, the recall, the audit, the rust-belt turnaround, the empire. Learn the trade at Dealer University. Climb from Sales Manager to Dealer Principal, sell the group, and start again with a perk. Fifty-two achievements, three leaderboards, controller support, and a sandbox where nothing can go wrong.
