Repetitive, but fun! I like getting to discover new game genres/types and matching them up to see how well the final product performs. I wish we could see a full list of them to see what I'm missing, though. It's rough saving up for console licenses, especially in the first 20 years when consoles are constantly phasing in and out. Just save up and wait for the best console share-wise. Also, I can't find/train any software engineers to make my own console. Hiring/firing needs improvement.

Incredible. So addicting I can't stop playing. Improvements could obviously be made. Research could be used to unlock specific genres and types as a reward for earning them. It is so much fun though. If you're looking for a game to pass the time, with no micro transactions, with rewarding gameplay, this is the game for you.

Very good. If you update or do a sequel, some suggestions to add: 1. The ability to port your own games to other systems. This could be depicted in game as a lower cost alternative to developing a new game, and something companies did all the time in the 90's. 2. Make PC development as a more viable option. Improve PC hardware as the game progresses. 3. Overall, make distinct the hardware differences between systems: Simulations would be better on a PC, action on console, etc...
