I am delighted to inform you that the following new options for Digital Age DLC will be available in the next major version 12.0.0:

The Digital Age DLC Settings will include two pages: [Settings] and [Advanced Settings].

On the [Settings] page, a new option called Player Expertise has been added. It offers the following options:
• Software Only: The player’s expertise is always set to software expertise.
• Product or Software: Randomly assigns the player’s expertise to either software expertise or product expertise.

This addition allows for greater flexibility in customizing the player’s starting expertise.

The [Advanced Settings] page offers the following new options:

Will AI OS companies go IPO?
If enabled, private AI OS-focused companies may go public on the stock exchange. When set to a specific value, AI OS companies will go public after the specified number of years.

Will AI telecom companies go IPO?
If enabled, private AI telecom companies may go public on the stock exchange. When set to a specific value, AI telecom companies will go public after the specified number of years.

(In the previous versions, AI companies focused on OS and telecom will never go IPO.)
