Based on the post title I thought someone made a sim game of what it’d be like to run your own Lemmy Instance lol
Cool. Subbed, so whats the best tycoon game currently on earth?
Is there an anti-capitalist business simulator? Just wondering because that could be interesting
Are not all tycoon games a dire warning?
No?
Believe it or not, Monopoly the board game started off that way:
The history of Monopoly can be traced back to 1903, when American anti-monopolist Lizzie Magie created a game called The Landlord’s Game that she hoped would explain the single-tax theory of Henry George as laid out in his book Progress and Poverty. It was intended as an educational tool to illustrate the negative aspects of concentrating land in private monopolies. She took out a patent in 1904. Her game was self-published beginning in 1906.

According to an advertisement placed in The Christian Science Monitor, Charles Todd of Philadelphia recalled the day in 1932 when his childhood friend Esther Jones and her husband, Charles Darrow, came to his house for dinner. After the meal, the Todds introduced Darrow to The Landlord’s Game, which they then played several times. The game was entirely new to Darrow, and he asked the Todds for a written set of the rules. After that night, Darrow went on to utilize it to distribute the game himself as Monopoly. Darrow used oil cloth to create a game board which is now in the collection of The Strong National Museum of Play after a $146,500 bid at Sotheby’s in 2010.
Including building sims? as long as theres asset management? Tyccon genre always confused me, is rimworld a tycoon game, technically. Or amazing cultivation simulator.
Tycoon and (city) builders.
I can see how one could view RimWorld as a tycoon in the technical sense, but there is too much combat such a classification IMO.
Arent there popular tycoon games with combat?
Sure, but more often than not the focus in on business simulation and economic strategy. That’s why the tycoon name. :)
(city) builders.
For people reading this, !citybuilders@sh.itjust.works is also worth having a look, OP posts there regularly too

The title sounds like it could be an adult film tycoon game 😁
Might be good to put a link in the post body: !tycoon@lemmy.world
At first I thought the title was about a new tycoon game about building up your Lemmy instance and was intrigued. Maybe you’d have to balance the shitpost vs shit post ratio, and defend against trolling.
a new tycoon game about building up your Lemmy instance
That’s essentially what we’re playing over at !fedigrow@lemm.ee and !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

That a very creative take. Although I feel like it would be difficult to make compelling gaming.
A game about making cookies is arguably the biggest tycoon game in history 😜
