No one will purchase my superior OS

Post by GretelMK2 »

Pretty frustrating issue. I didn't start with the OS skill so I leveled it up higher than my only competition. She got to market first and currently has the following stats:

Apps Availability: 26
Quality: 47
User Base: 103,792

My stats:
Apps Availability: 0
Quality: 74
User Base: 0

However my OS had 4 products out for it initially to her 6. So I developed a more products. I now have 7 apps to her 9. Yet my App score is 0, while she has 26.

In fact, 4 of her 9 apps I developed then discontinued on her OS so the sales for those 4 have been 0 for years. The quality of my apps is, on average, better than hers by quite a bit. I've even lowered my OS price to about 2$ to her 10$ and I have 33 branding to her 0.

Basically I have a superior product that doesn't seem to recognize that I have a good amount of high quality apps. I suspect a loop of "Until you sell a copy of your OS you can't sell your Apps, until you sell an App it doesn't count for your OS App Availability, until you have higher than 0 App Availability you won't sell a copy of your OS."

How do I fix this issue?

I loaded your save game and noticed that your OS is not linked to any computer types.

Next time, when you develop a new OS, you could select the supported computer types as shown in the attached screenshot.

I totally did not notice that. Thanks so much for looking into it. I couldn't find info on this anywhere so hopefully your answer here helps anyone else with that issue in the future.
