What players say
this game is a perfect example of wasted potential. a good concept means nothing when the execution fails to deliver. players shouldn't have to rely on mods just to make the experience enjoyable. at some point, the developers need to stop relying on the community to work around the problems and start fixing them themselves. potential isn't an excuse for poor execution.

It's not a bad game, but Schedule I is under active development, is multiplayer, and is a better game over all. If you wanna buy a game about drug dealing simulation, get Schedule I.
It's a pretty fun game for what it is, If you hear this dev team, please update your system requirements, it's not fair that you updated the visuals of the game and not advertising about it's gonna be more demanding.
