Came within 5% of the top-most goal for a level, and failed for lack of time. Went back several saves and looked at everything. Was my choice of drug wrong? Were my production lines a square or two inefficient, preventing me from utilizing another delivery portal? Was I spending too much on Bolivian Tree Frog Saliva? Did I not get the researchers working on new machines fast enough?

And then it hit me: my best-selling drug, for erectile dysfunction, beautifully crafted to avoid side effects and have an A cure rating... was devastating the market... for itself. I simply couldn't pull enough profit out of the economy if I cured people.

Tried again. Made sure to give the sufferers a side-effect free drug which worked... some of the time... enough to get their hopes up... but not enough to stop buying next month's installment.

10/10 would abandon business ethics again.

You can sell a cure profitably- you've just got to jack the price way, way up- and load up on advertising.

Also, maybe only run the production line intermittently- as you'll be creating artificial scarcity with your pricing!

This is a true story that happened with hepititis and Goldman Sachs. They refused to invest in any more cures after they saw their revenue fail after everyone was cured.

This review was the first I could find for this game I didn't have to give a thumbs down to.
