Sharing Youtuber Lightproton’s Review of the Service Industry DLC at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNvhXIvYVa8

Here’s what Lightproton explores in the review:

✅ Shopping Malls Revolutionize Retail
With the Service Industry DLC, Capitalism Lab transforms retail businesses. Players can now build shopping malls that house multiple stores under one roof, increasing foot traffic and boosting revenue—but also introducing fierce competition. Strategic location planning is more crucial than ever!

✅ Service Firms Add New Synergies
Coffee shops, fast food joints, pizzerias, and cake shops are no longer just side businesses—they now play a key role in boosting sales for nearby stores. Place them wisely to maximize profits and create powerful business synergies.

✅ Logistics as a Profit Center
Logistics, import, and export companies are now core components of gameplay. Freight is no longer just a cost—logistics companies can generate revenue. Efficiently manage supply chains, secure rare resources via import companies, and sell excess production to export clients for global trade opportunities.

✅Strategic Use of Knowledge Points
A new mechanic forces players to choose between investing knowledge points in technological growth or using them for lucrative import/export deals. This adds a new layer of decision-making to the gameplay, requiring careful planning for long-term success.

✅ Mixed-Use Real Estate Expansion
Retail and real estate now overlap, as apartment and commercial buildings can house retail spaces. This introduces new challenges and opportunities: balance rent revenue with retail sales for maximum profitability!

✅ New Products and Supply Chains
Service firms can now sell delicious items like cappuccino, hamburgers, Parma pizza, and strawberry cake, but these require complex supply chains involving farming, livestock, and food processing. Planning supply chains effectively is critical to avoiding financial pitfalls.

Conclusion:
The new Service Industry DLC extends Capitalism Lab into a more complex, competitive, and engaging business simulation. With shopping malls, service firms, logistics, import and export companies, as well as retailing integration into real estate, the gameplay now demands more strategic thinking. Retailing synergies have become a more focal point, and managing business expansion requires a careful balance of supply chains, trade deals, and competitive positioning.
