интересно, но абсолютно непонятно как добиваться результата. Нет подробностей куда ежемесячно тратиться именно такая сумма. Мало подсказок о том, что я сейчас делаю не принесёт успеха и т. д.

Question

Overall this is a good game though will it be possible to add modding support if there is a method to?

Fun game but…

Really fun but a bit of a grind at the start of the game and you’ll go bankrupt easily.

Great game

Have had this home for years! I play this game on & off over the years and enjoy it every time. I do wish there was more campaign modes. A campaign where you were competing against other game companies would make it more competitive. A fun game overall.

Stole my money.

DO NOT BUY THIS. It’s a massive shame because I love this game and played all the time as kid. So I went to download it on my phone for a purchase of $7.99. Imagine my surprise when it took $22.99 out of my account instead, and then said “payment declined” (despite already having taken my money) and didn’t even download the game after all. I don’t know what’s going on here but I am beyond disappointed and have emailed for a refund of that money unlawfully taken from my account. Protect your account and don’t buy this game and put yourself at risk for this
