What players say
I used to enjoy this game when I bought it, now it's been about 3-4 months since I've played it. In about 6+ months there is NO patches to fix bugs, and these bugs can lead up to crash and game not saving. As stated 6+ months ago and still no patch, I would not recommend buying this title. Current state, even though it is a full release, it is not even in a polished beta stage. Project is dead. DO NOT BUY!

I was curious of the other Game Management games out there. I started out with Game Dev Tycoon (Throughly enjoyed that game with 200+ hours), then I tried Game Tycoon (Which is absolutely dreadful, don't waste your time and money. You're better off wiping your butt than spending it), I tried GameBiz 3 (Enjoyed it for its gameplay but hated it for its extremely poor UI and sales restrictions), and I played Game Dev...
