Make Wholly Owned "public" companies private

Post by ohms_law »

I know it's not really directly related, but this is the "finance DLC" right... ?

Can it please be made so that any company that is 100% owned by it's owner and officers turned private, please?

Even better, and company with 0% public shares should be private.

I realize that this would make the game easier in some ways, but that's preferable to the frustrating state that it's in now.

Thank you David!

@mightyfalls, I'm more concerned with the AI companies then our own. It's frustrating the way that it currently is because it makes it impossible to interact with them.

oh do you mean so we would be able to acquire them the way we are able to acquire private internet/software companies?

Yea

Certain AI companies can currently become wholly owned by a single individual, making them untouchable.
You can obviously run them out of business in certain cases, but... that turns into a slog, lots of times.

yeah im with you on that one, once that happens its basically a dead company and nothing will ever happen with it since we cant buy out public companies.
maybe just add an option to buy out a public company completely with a premium on its market cap? i know this has been talked about a lot before, but i think its time to implement that now.
