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): 0.71/day in the week to Aug 14 → 0.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

As much as I love TV Managers (to the point of learning German to play MAD TV 2) and have played them since Amiga times, I simply can't recommend this game. I know this is early access, but it seems the DEVs have fallen in the same trap as with MAD Games Tycoon 2. Metaphorically speaking, they found the optimal slider settings, and they just pump one game after another with absolute zero innovation. And making a faithful copy / homage to MAD TV would usually be a good thing - except there are at least a dozen games which do it better. And the devs don't even understand the original game MTT is purely economical, while MTV had you balance the financial success with courting Betty. It is (too) early access, so I won't even complain about missing features, like everything except the most basic own show production. To summarise, unless the devs put much more work into the game, do yourself a favour and buy a more established production, or even go with the open source project.
An enjoyable game that has huge potential to be a fantastic tycoon game. It is, in my opinion, molded on Airline Tycoon, as you go between different rooms for different things and I truly like the fact that you have items dotted around which might be part of something greater like katanas and pizzas below the basement, an explorer's hat and so forth. The game is great and if I were to make some recomendations at this stage of the game would be for the developers to: - have your own news team that you send out to gather news articles - perhaps include the option of covering live events with your own crew - include stairs, not just the elevator in the middle - disable the door opening and closing noise from adjacent floors, for some reason the office of my character was on a floor above the toilet and that door opened and closed a lot making me hear mainly doors opening and closing. - have a way of buying out your competitors, or taking over their assets in case of bankruptcy - make live events more realistic, for example I managed to show the moon landing, the mars landing and again another moon landing on consecutive days, and have the impact of it multiplied. - be able to expand beyond your home region Again, I can see some of the ideas the developers had with this game, which I think is great and I hope they get to develop it to its full potential.

Un buen juego, como siempre de este desarrollador: un simulador que propone una gran cantidad de opciones de gestión que si bien no profundizan como lo podría un simulador más realista, son lo suficiente como para atraparte hasta destriparlo. Está enfocado a las partidas con más personas, lo que genera cierta molestia a la hora de plantearse este juego en solitario, provocando que las idas y venidas de tu personaje junto a la gestión de un inventario limitado hace que ciertas tareas se hagan muy engorrosas a la larga. Actualmente sigue en early access y si bien sus mecánicas básicas ya están bien implementadas, aún adolece de cuelgues, cierres inesperados y demás alucinaciones que provocan que guardar partida sea una de las mecánicas más usadas por ahora. Algunas opciones aun están sin activar y obviamente algunas mecánicas aun están por pulir y profundizar, faltan graficos y tablas a las que poder referirse, faltan herramientas para poder establecer estrategias a largo plazo... pero el juego base ya esta ahí y ya divierte.
Yet another great game from Eggcode! Seriously they are on a streak! If you like Mad Games Tycoon 2 you are going to enjoy this one aswell. It also gives out board game vibes. There is not a lot of multiplayer pvp tycoons on Steam so it helps this title to stand out.
Con cada actualizacion va mejorando
Fun but needs work, playing with friends recommended.
Spannendes Spiel was noch in der Entwicklung ist. Aktuell sehr nah bei den älteren Versionen. Ich hoffe das bald Streaming kommt, der Shop, oder auch Werbung mit mehr als 2,5 mio. Zuschauern. Zudem sollte die Hürde das man eigene Formate produzieren kann deutlich niedriger sein. Ich hätte auch gern Sendezeiten ab 8 Uhr bis 24 Uhr. Was auch cool wäre wenn man einen Assistenten einstellen könnte der Dinge wie Werbung automatisch zuordnet. Ich hoffe das es auch aktuellere Filme bald gibt. Aktuell war das aktuellste glaube ich 1999.....Ich bin gespannt und hoffe das ihr richtig gas gebt :-)
This game is for people who can think a few steps ahead and enjoy building a brand. I love this game and I really hope they finish developing it. I played the orginal a lot in the 90's. Empire TV Tycoon is also a solid game that I enjoyed very much. At the moment of writing this review you can fight the competition, but there is no other goal to work towards to. I understand that the concept of buying gifts to win the love of a woman is outdated, but it worked for the game version from 1991, because it was clear how to win the game from the start.
Mad Television Tycoon ist ein geistiger Nachfolger oder Remake des Kultklassikers Mad TV. Ich habe Mad TV geliebt und auch immer wieder alle paar Jahre ausgepackt um nochmal eine Runde zu spielen. Hierbei wurde das alte Konzept aufgegriffen, ein paar Qualitätsverbesserungen eingeführt und insgesamt modernisiert. In der Grundlage spürt man aber über Mad TV - und das ist absolut positiv gemeint. Der bisherige Stand des Early-Access Games macht bereits viel Spaß und Bugs habe ich auch keine gefunden. Es ist Einiges noch nicht fertig und auch im Balancing denke ich gibt es noch potenzial. Auch die Produktion von Shows und Serien wirkt noch nicht intuitiv und ich habe es nicht geschafft, erfolgreiche Shows oder Serien zu produzieren (mag aber auch ein 'Me-Problem' sein. Weiterer positiver Aspekt: Das Spiel ist modding-freundlich und es macht einfach mehr Spaß, wenn man Original-Filmtitel, Schauspieler und Co. hat. Das hat mir bereits bei Mad TV gefallen. Vielen Dank an den Entwickler für ein bisher gelungenes Remake. Freue mich schon auf das Vollrelease und werde bis dahin noch etwas den Early-Access ausprobieren. Spaß macht es jetzt schon.
Esta verde aun, le faltan cosas por añadir, pero no deja de ser un buen juego, el creador volvio a sacar tremendo juego bueno, se te van a la primera que le agarras el ritmo unas 10 horas y ni cuenta te das, aun faltan cosas por añadir y actulizar, igual que con mad games tycoon 2, pero hay que esperar es solo 1 persona detras de tan buen proyecto, esperare con ansias la actualizacion que venga
