The Economy and Consumer Demand (with screenshots)

[David]

The state of the economy has an impact on consumer demands

When the economy is booming, demands for consumer goods will get stronger. Conversely, in recession time, demands for consumer goods will fall, especially for non-necessity goods.

See the below screenshots for the correlations. Note the fluctuations of product sales shown on the graphs on the Product Summary Report.

This adds new depth to the gameplay and the player may face situations where an economic downturn will turn a profitable business into money-losing one. Players will have to be more cautious of their cash buffer and their financial abilities to weather the storm during the bad times, which may come unexpectedly.
