+/- 6 лет назад начался крах этой игры - в игре посвященной рыночной модели была уничтожена рыночная модель. В течении этих лет (а я играю в игру всю ее историю) в год выходило одно хорошее начинание, которое убивалось десятком других. Вектор развития игры окончательно был потерян. в 2023 году администрация игры пошла наконец на модель подписок, что дало надежду на появления внятного бюджета развития и содержания игры. Но по итогам года, вместо создания новых ценностей для игроков с подпиской, администрация решила отбирать имеющиеся для игроков без подписки. Причем ввела это втихую: письма получили отдельные игроки, а оповещение в игре нет уже вторые сутки. Для меня такой подход равнозначен плевку в лицо и смерти проекта. Жаль.

A high-quality commercial complex product cannot be completely free. Our business simulation must continue to evolve and improve. Therefore, the Virtonomics business simulator exists in two versions. There is a free Basic version, which has wide functionality for a full game and without time limits. And there is a paid Professional version, which has a slightly wider and more varied gameplay, intended for those players who value their time and the efforts of the developers of the game you continue to play. If you want to play for free, please use the free basic version, but do not require free access to the PRO mode. Or get access to Professional mode, helping us develop our project, and not interfering with it. Please specify the realm and the name of your company in the game or send a letter to our support with a link to this review.

I have been playing Virtonomics for years, until today it has been the best business sim you could find. Unfortunately it became pay to win as off today and not really worth playing anymore. They don´t realise they ain´t even close to Netflix and are DONE by putting halve the game under subscription. Player bases from multi million games have diminished since this trend started and Virtonomics is next. The bigger they are the harder they fall. The smaller they are the sooner they fall. I was planning on a large, in depth review with 5 stars. I even made a template already with pros and cons but you guys ain´t worth my time anymore. It wouldn´t be so bad if auctions were still without subscription, since this made it worth making virtocurrency. This is what makes the game pay to win. Unfortunately you guys smell money and it is not mine.. Edit: Virtonomics reply: "intended for those players who value their time and the efforts of the developers of the game you continue to play." Do you guys value the time(or thousands of dollars) me and many other players put in to this game? You're so called efforts are widely NOT appreciated by many OG players. I had a bussiness strategy to recirculate every dollar I made last years to keep the economy running and help players, to eventually start playing more low key in the coming years by buying resources via auction/sell at low prices and right at the point to start looking for auctions you totally drowned it. Making everyone retire for good is what you guys are doing, Why would I tell you my company and realm? So you can ban me? Yall proofed many times you cannot be trusted. These bad reviews are not from trolls, who else but players has heard or cares about Virtonomics. If anyone is trolling its Virtonomics, there reply shows they don't care about anyone or his/her opinion. Interfering it is what they call it No one with a grain of selfrespect starts over in another realm after years of building there empire and spending lots of money already. I consider Virtonomics ignorance in these financially hard times for most of the world as there final convulsions. EDIT 2: The reviews from Constant Vreman, Sandip Kant, Akshay Bhardwaj and Abhay Bhat are clearly created to keep the rating up. 2 in NL, 2 in US. All 4 are verified. All in 24 hours. Almost the same names, clearly not Dutch names. All experienced at 4 Jan. Virtonomics reply is also 4 Jan. Written in exactly the same manner as Virtonomics marketing team writes. WHO do you think your fooling? These are not the only dubious reviews, there are many more. Pattern is too obvious, as I said, Virtonomics cannot be trusted and they KNOW it, nice try. Trustpilot should ban you guys for tampering with reviews.

Почините рынок на Вере и ценообразования. Сколько будете завтраками кормить?! Народу девать некуда остатки ресурсов. а еще просите дальше донатить. Смысл донатить? если продать нельзя. Да еще просите поставить пятерку?! с чего бы? да еще на английском языке?

This company is a scammer. I brought clients to them and they cheated me out of almost a thousand dollars. And they deceived not only me, but also all the partners. Players spend money in the game in the following way. First, game points are bought for dollars, and then game items are bought for game points. 20% according to the terms of the agreement should be received by the partner who brought the player. Initially, affiliate deductions were accrued when a player spent game points. About two years ago, they changed the accrual system without warning and without notice. Now affiliate deductions are accrued when buying game points. Thus, those thousands of dollars that were converted by players from dollars to game points, but not converted into game items, were not taken into account in affiliate deductions. My demands for a percentage of the dollars spent by my players were ignored. The administrators pointed me to the paragraph of the rules, which says that they have the right to change the conditions without warning. Also, my players have repeatedly complained about unauthorized debiting of funds from bank cards that were previously tied to the game to pay for services. Most of the accolades in this company are obtained by bribing players. I can't attach a screenshot in which the administrator requires to write LAVE reviews in exchange for the introduction of game content, but I am ready to provide it and a direct link at the request of the administrator. Pay attention to the date of the administrator's message on the forum and the date of creation of laudatory reviews. I ask the administration of this site to intervene and remove such reviews that were received in violation of the rules.

Firstly, I signed up for the $1/mo trial, and in my opinion, this "educational" game is just a gatcha-game that is designed to prey on start-up entrepreneurs. It requires that you spend real-world money to buy Game Points in-order to progress (and this is not made clear when you join the system). So let me be clear, this is a simulator, but it has no business in education, and in my opinion, you'd be wasting $29/mo. As a result, I attempted to cancel the membership, and according to the welcome email "The 'Virtonomics Entrepreneur' is available by subscription. Subscription is renewed automatically and in accordance with Section 6 of the User Agreement, adopted by you at the time of registration and subscription. In case you decide to unsubscribe, you can do this through the interface of the Virtonomics Entrepreneur simulator (User Profile - My Subscriptions)" Unfortunately that interface has no button I can click to end my subscription. I hope it's just some website bug, but due to the already questionable nature of the game's design, I have a really hard time believing that it wasn't intentional dark-ui design (which, if you care, is actually in violation of a number of ethical codes--including the ones laid-out by the Association for Computing Machinery and IEEE). To clarify, I have attempted to end my subscription using Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Chrome, and the option to cancel my membership does not exist on the website. 10/31 Update: Due to the game being "turn based" they do not make the "cancel" button available in the UI until after 1 day has passed. Plus, again in the cancellation form, they make the "stay with us" (or whatever they called it) button big, bright and blue, and they make the "confirm and cancel" button just small text on a white button below, which is another classic example of Dark UI design. I sincerely do not recommend learning anything about "business" from these people.

I've seen many great reviews about this game and decided to try it myself. I enjoyed the complexity behind it, and the diversity of the industries is great....until you try to find a supplier of anything. I've noticed a lot of the base level industries like farming and mining are requiring you to "spend points" (essentially pay to play) in order to build in that sector. This provides a barrier to entry in most industries, as the cost of production will be much higher than the recommended selling price. That paired with the fact that there is absolutely no difference between a subscription and free to play, despite it being described as a different setup for entrepreneurs (possibly just unclear descriptions on the packages). I have quite a few ideas on how it can be improved, but those are the main flaws.
