Pirate Mode
i love the game and once had 100% achievements then i saw they added more, so I've started the quest to try and beat the game on pirate mode. i got to the lvl 2 (moved into the office building) then a few months in year 9 is when everything falls apart..haha (in year 9 it seems your games need to be 10/10)

anyone have any tips or tricks?

i thought about trying to stay in my garage forever-

is it worth it keeping up on the copy protection?


I'd recommend having $600,000 +(if possible) before hitting your 10/10 (in the garage) that way when your game goes well past $1million you have more moving to the office.

so i did the math if you get over 4 million you could just sitting in you garage not making games or finding jobs and beat pirate mode

$8,000 a month

$96,000 a year

$3,360,000 for 35 years

BUT!!!!!! thats no fun.

It's amazing, I was surprised that I could do things like this in good condition.

You said in an interview, "I don't know the principle of pirated products, and they don't seem to be badly advertised." Why are pirated products rampant?
Because the value of the game is not commensurate with the price.

In other words, what it means is that like this game, you sell things that are only 100 yen worth at an exorbitant price of 1000 yen and deceive the money, but after all you make it with the tricked money This is because we are legally doing the same thing as fraud.
People who win the genuine product will lose it because you buy the ridiculous feces game genuine product at an unbelievable price, right?

Despite that, pirates are marked as evil and exposed, when do you realize when such an attitude leads to rampant pirates?
"There is currently no pirated version of the single game," that is not the case. Because I don't try to think that you aren't there. The end result is a pirated version.
A game that isn't very interesting is acquired, a good magazine is bought, a good article is written, it sells for a high price, and it makes a profit.

I've enjoyed making people moss by using pirated mode and unclear mode in paid games. Only such developers.
Well, I don't mind if it's a regular version, but now that I have a localizer, I think I wanted to be able to speak Japanese, and I'm looking forward to expanding into the consumer market.

Wait... How could you "100%" win the game, if you haven't beat Pirate mode?

I forgot how I beat pirate mode but it isn't much different than normal games after lv3 (second office/upgraded PCs) and keep progressing well.

One thing I remember from pirate mode is that keeping up your DRM research up to date is a must for success, same with reaching 8+ ratings (7 seems fine from time to time)
Also be warned for DRM v6 you'll need the R&D Lab, while DRM v5 will work for a long time somewhere in late game you'll need DRM v6 , also game report also gives you a result on how effective is the currently used DRM.

Just beat 42 year pirate mode run. The trick seems to be specialise on either design (RPG/Adventure/Casual) or tech games (Action/Strategy/Sim) because keeping up to date in copy protection chews through most of the early game research points. Design specalisation seems to be the way to go given casual is popular on the early consoles, adventure on PC and RPG on PC and mid/late consoles.

Also don't move out untill you have at least 2.5M, getting good quality staff up to speed and developing your first medium game is gonna chew up 1.5M at least and the bank loan/goving above 60% share sales is suicide during lv 2.

Guy above me is right though, lv3 is pretty much the same. I still don't understand how cartridge games and MMO's get pirated on mass though.
