Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.29/day in the week to Aug 28 → 2.57/day in the week after.

Nice time killer to joke around
Game Dev Tycoon. Basicamente seu tempo passando de forma relaxante. Game Dev Tycoon pode-se dizer inovador, jogo antigo e bem conhecido, mecânicas simples e baseado em escolher categorias, gênero e foco de trabalho em cada etapa do game. Conheço o jogo a muito tempo e cheguei em algum momento a jogar a versão mobile pórem só agora, "completando" o jogo pelo PC sinto que posso falar algo. O jogo baseado em texto é literalmente um básico inovador bem executado, perfeito para youtubers no passado e talvez até ressucite um pouco de sua fama daqui a um tempo, gosto de tratar jogos assim com menos avaliação técnica e mais em como ele consegue te fazer perder a hora e passar seu tempo, sem estresse e somente com pensamentos sobre sua gerência e em qual próximo título do seu jogo. Sobre pontos fortes, eu destacaria a forma em que é ensinado a melhorar, aprendendo basicamente na experiência e nada além disso, a cada jogo avaliado e com sua própria avaliação depois você aprende o que errou e acertou, é simples, didático e funciona muito bem, outros pontos fortes são a grande quantidade de combinação e as referencia a consoles e jogos reais que fazer o "mundo" fluir e ser interessante, foi uma ótima solução. Ponto fraco eu diria que somente o final, o jogo acaba no que seria o PS5/Series X e isso me desanimou, talvez mais algum periodo com consoles inventados e previsões faria bem, eu ainda sentia que tinha o que evoluir e honestamente eu queria jogar mais e isso freiou totalmente minha vontade. Dito isso, compre o jogo em uma promoção, jogue o suficiente e lembre-se dele para aquele momento em que se sente sem vontade de jogar ou travado por jogos imensos ou dias cansativos. Nota final: 8/10

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 10: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 963.8/day in the week to Jul 16 → 4.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Sympa sans plus
It's like crack so I'm not sure if I should recommend it. But I could.
good
Me lo compre porque lo jugaba en el celular como en 2018/2019, god
This game is best of its kind.
Que gran juego, lo jugue sin entender nada y despues con busquedas del meta en internet y me era mas divertido pasar el tiempo con una tabla de excel antes de sacar cada juego haciendo combinaciones top. Gran juego falta probar mods que dicen lo hacen mas divertido.
I'm playing a video game about making a video game.
