showing cash vs. cash-per-second (Earth)

[Friye]

Loving the game so far, but something irks me. For whatever reason I cannot seem to figure out, my lemonade stands to shrimp boats all show how much money they make normally, but hockey teams to oil companies all show how much cash per second they make. Clicking, double clicking, right clicking doesn't change it. Is there a way to make this uniform again?

(I know it's silly and not very important, but please tell me if you know what I did/can do to (un)do this! Thank you!)

The 10% off managers go in descending order of businesses and a side effect of buying them is that they cause the business they're associated with to show cash per second. Chances are you just bought the first five of them.

Either that or the game's broken, but it doesn't hurt to hold off on jumping to conclusions.

Don't buy the 10% managers if you don't want cash per second shown, that 10% discount is really tiny and will get you maybe 1-2 free investments. It's nice knowing how much money you get per cycle in the early game, but pretty quickly (400 of everything and beyond) cash per second becomes a much more meaningful measurement which is why the managers exist.

I am going to buy the investor Gladys Caroline just because I love the Portal series to much but she is the only investor bought with angels worth it maybe the lemonade stand.

Once you get to the point where all the progress bars are continuous (i.e., less than 1 second payout time), showing the base value becomes pretty useless. You'll switch to cash/sec and never look back.

Was that some GLaDOS sarcasm?
