Remove hardcoded product Tech in Digital Age DLC

[louis1016]

The Digital Age DLC has hardcoded some products be always available with a little bit of tech to all companies at the start, such as desktop computers and various software. It really ruins the immersion because you have all sorts of companies immediately making desktop computers and various software regardless of their expertise. There is no way around this if you play with this DLC. Even worse is that most mods require this DLC so if you want to play with a mod, you have to play with this unbalanced and immersion breaking mechanic. It really ruins the experience.

I started a new game with Digital Age DLC enabled to test it and saw no AI companies having any advantages with desktop computer tech in the beginning of the game. You experienced a game which has that, please provide us with your save game for our investigation.

Likewise, I saw no AI companies with unfair advantages on software tech. The only tech with an initial value of 30 is the E-commerce tech, which is the same for all companies, including the player's company.
