Software Inc.

[h1]Si Software Inc. était une personne, je lui écrirais une lettre d’amour…[/h1] Je ne compte même plus les heures que j’ai passées sur Software Inc. – et honnêtement, j’y reviens tout le temps. Je pense que c’est le seul jeu qui m’a autant fait réfléchir sur l’organisation, la gestion, la micro-optimisation… et même la déco de bureau! [b]Pourquoi j’y retourne encore et encore ?[/b] – La liberté est totale : tu construis ton bâtiment de rêve, gères chaque équipe, fais le ménage dans les horaires, inventes de nouveaux logiciels, consoles, systèmes d’exploitation… TOUT! – Les scénarios et la rejouabilité sont quasi infinis : tu peux partir de zéro à chaque fois et rien ne se passe jamais pareil (j’ai littéralement un carnet d’idées juste pour Software Inc., c’est grave docteur?) – Le système de simulation est ultra poussé, du recrutement à la gestion de crise, des bugs au marketing. Tu peux micro-manager ou tout déléguer, bref, c’est TOI le patron (enfin!). – Y’a toute la satisfaction de voir son “petit projet garage” devenir une méga-corporation, racheter les rivaux… ou juste ruiner la concurrence en lançant un OS à la Windows 95, mais sans les écrans bleus. [b]Côté dev ?[/b] Le gars derrière ce bijou est ultra présent. Même après toutes ces années, il écoute la communauté, balance des updates majeures et prend le temps de peaufiner chaque détail. C’est un vrai passionné et ça se sent. [b]Des défauts ?[/b] – Oui, tu vas perdre la notion du temps, et non, ce n’est pas remboursable chez Steam. – Les premiers pas peuvent sembler durs pour les nouveaux, mais après, c’est le paradis du management. – J’ai parfois eu envie d’embaucher des “vrais” employés pour m’aider IRL, mais bizarrement, ça ne marche que dans le jeu. [hr][/hr] [b]Bref, Software Inc., c’est LE jeu de gestion ultime pour tous ceux qui aiment construire, optimiser, et recommencer. Pour moi, c’est un incontournable – et si tu me croises dans les forums, c’est sûrement parce que j’ai replongé… encore une fois.[/b]

I bought this game a decade ago, tried it, and completely forgot about it until recently when I realized the game had been updated consistently the entire time. For free!!! I am so impressed with the devs commitment to this game! Not to mention the game has some serious depth (there are so many ways to play) and multiplayer with friends is perfect!! Highly recommend.

I don't normally write a review, but Software Inc is the best Simulation game that I have ever played. It is better than Sim City, and it is better than Civilization; it is better than anything else that I can think of that I have played. At 1,350 hours in, I am still learning new in-game strategies; coming up with new efficient team configurations, and game-play styles. Currently playing on very hard, the simulated market is more than competitive. Using console commands to cheat or not, provide so many hours of entertainment, that this game is deeply gratifying, and is worth the cost compared to the entertainment value that it provides. I can play it over and over again on any difficulty, On any difficulty, I still find it to be entertaining. The updates to the core game seem to be common; every few months or so. The attention to detail is more than apparent. I highly recommend this game to anyone that is seeking an in-depth software simulation game that is continually being upgraded and updated by a devoted developer. I highly recommend this game for anyone that appreciates a single-player strategy game with an emphasis on turn-based strategy gaming. It is a game that I return to every three months or so.

Você pode sonegar imposto. 10/10

I consider this game as a 4X game. Start as a single developer, grow to a corporation of over 400 employees. Crush the competition... go big on the stock market... invest in illegal gold... get caught cause you did not have a big enough accounting division... lose all your best employees... go bankrupt... start again. I love this game.

Excellent company/biz sim. I'm a software engineer and after being at work all day...it's good to come home, fire this game up, and run a company the way I want. 10/10

I remember when this game was awesome, start a company and take over the tech industry. There were talks in the beginning of making certain kinds of software or apps for cell phones... now the game has become too much to manage. The best i have seen yet is being fined for not having fire sprinklers but fire sprinklers arent an option to build in the year i am playing. what a joke. Not to mention Michael doesnt like Michelle.... the game became more of a sim 4 reboot poorly done instead of a software simulator.

The most development I have seen in a small team game and so much customization.
