Post silly ideas here that you don’t actually want to see implemented.
- Upon reaching year 15, you have a small chance to discover that you made a mistake on your company registration papers, causing it to have never been incorporated. Your ex-spouse is now demanding half your assets, forcing you to liquidate the business.
- If you fire an employee after six months of hiring them, you will be sued by the former employee for wrongful dismissal. You then get the option to attempt to settle (costing a large amount of money), or to defend the case. If you defend, then you lose a large amount of fans due to bad PR, and the case goes to court. You have a 50/50 chance of convincing the judge that there was good cause to dismiss the employee. If you win, then you get your legal fees back. If you lose, then the employee gets his job back (and an injunction preventing you from firing him again) and you lose even more money.
- If your company goes bankrupt, the megacompany that buys out your business may offer you a job to work for them. If you accept, then you get given a lowly cubicle job, and the game just starts showing you sitting in your cubicle day in and day out for the rest of your miserable life, because you will never get another loan to start another business with your bad credit history.
- Approx 3 months after completing a “website” contract, you have a small chance of being sued by the contractee for stealing their intellectual property. Don’t worry though, their evidence is weak, and the publicity just increases the hype of whatever game you’re working on at the time.
- If you hire a “brown” employee, there is a small chance that after a few years the FBI will bust down your companies doors and trash the building on suspicion that the employee is a terrorist. The employee then vanishes forever, and you don’t get any compensation for all the damage you’re forced to pay to repair.
- If you hire a “black” employee, there is a small chance that after a few months, the sensitive employee overhears someone talking about the diggers in a digger game, mishears it, assumes they’re talking about him, and goes on a rampage.
- When publishing advertising in magazines, there is a small chance that the publisher makes a typo on the advertisement, causing it to be read as a sexually suggestive line. You then get prosecuted by the media regulation, for a big fine. You then get the option to sue the publisher for negligence, which is guaranteed to fail because they have an army of lawyers at their disposal.
- At year 60, your employees start demanding you let them retire, and their performance drops drastically.
- At year 100, your R&D team gain the ability to research “IRL time-travel”, which allows you to take your technology and money back to year -10 and start again. Unfortunately, the computers of that time can’t actually process any of your game engines, including the default one.
- At year 150, if you have over 100 million sales of a console, the console morphs into Skynet and takes over the world. Also, people start to ask how in the hell you are still alive after all this time.
