Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
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): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 17 → 0.29/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.

Add-ons
Each DLC is estimated with the same model as a game, then summed — a modeled figure, not reported DLC sales.
Sums Steam only; GOG, Epic publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

Metto recensione positiva perché fondamentalmente mi sembra di capire che lo studio di sviluppo sia piccolo e percritàdiddio se uno se la vuole prendere con gente che ha ipotecato la casa per arrivare a sviluppare il giochino strategico. Oltretutto porto decisamente nero perché l'ultima volta che ho augurato ad uno studio di sviluppo di chiudere ha chiuso davvero. Detto ciò. I menuini piccini picciò fitti fitti di scritte e percentuali e 72 scheda da scrollare nel tutorial, scritto ancora più piccolo. Mi siedo incollato a questa sedia da gaming da grassoni per trovare ristoro alla mia anima accaldata, non per ottenere un dottorato di gestione macro economica al Mit. Bello da vedere almeno? Un tipo, dai.
After looking for a modern alternative to Capitalism Plus, I discovered ROI (thanks to ChatGPT). It delivers a complex, rewarding economic simulation with steep difficulty curves that will test even seasoned strategists. 9/10.

Cute graphics but bad balancing. Awkward supply chains / recipes. Hard to make any profits, things either don't sell at all, nowhere, or don't pay well. You'd probably have to research some better products first, but run into bankrupcy before you can do that, and even if, then there's still no demand for what you have researched. And then there still are traffic jams of your own trucks piling up in front of your storage facilities.
It's one of the best business simulators I've ever played. I've played over a dozen, but this is really only the 2nd in the subgenre that I'd say is one of my favorite games in general. Business simulators often structure their gameplay in a grassroots format, and I definitely prefer the big picture format RoI has. The only other game of this type that I liked this much is Train Tycoon Deluxe. Which is so old now that the only way to play it without a dinosaur PC is the open source recreation OpenTTD. I'm very grateful to Dapper Penguin Studios for not only bringing back the gameplay style for this subgenre, but creating a game that's on an even greater scale than TTD, and probably greater than any other business simulator has ever done!
Ehrlich gesagt weiß ich nicht, warum man dieses Spiel spielen soll. Wirklich eine Herausforderung ist es nicht, wenn man sein Geld im Auge hat.Es wirkt schnell unübersichtlich, das Tutorial ist wenig hilfreich und überfordernd. Die In-Game Hilfe bringt da deutlich mehr. Aber alles in allem ist es einfach langweilig. Aber vielleicht ist es genau das, was du suchst.
If you like to make your own company with taking risks and following up with those. This is your game. Factorio -.2 you don't have the problems you would normally have to deal with. Honestly it's a very chill industrial builder. I've played 11 runs and honestly, even when I fail; It gave, the experience for you to do better. Have a beer and try it out. I thought it was worth the squeeze.

O conceito é bom, faltou na execução.
Ottimo manageriale , già provato anni fa , ripreso per via della nuova DLC. consigli e svantaggi del game : Da giocare a difficoltà massima ; AI veramente banale , più vai avanti nel game e + diventa easy . lo valuto positivamente solo per via della parte gestionale semplice e intuitivas
