LOL at people complaining this shouldn't be on GOG for various bizarre reasons. Probably trolls, but just in case they actually believe what they write:
People who think this is somehow promoting illegal stuff need to remember:
1) It's actually legal in the location(s) as depicted in the game.
2) Weed is the safest "illegal drug" in the world. Throughout history, a grand total of ZERO people have died from weed. Compare that to the vast numbers that die in ANY GIVEN COUNTRY, PER YEAR, due to ALCOHOL ALONE (which is legal everywhere except countries with extremist governments). Or compared to PARACETAMOL (which is not only legal but prescribed by chemists). Or cigarettes. Or...
3) People complaining about a game because it has "illegal substances" in it, while simultaneously NOT complaining about other stuff in other games which is not only also illegal but actually damaging to other people - have serious problems with consistency and logic. They are, amazingly, even more stupid than people that complain about violence against animals, or whaling, or various other things in games. Either that or they're trolls having a laugh.
Most importantly, if this game offends you in some bizarre way, there's a really simple solution: don't buy it.
David9855: Another controversial game for gog to divide its customer base over. Not saying I'm picking a side over the specific, game just another move that adds more shock then sales. Gogs business managers must be idiots.
Next up in the store:
Slavery tycoon
Prostitution tycoon
Meth tycoon
illegal gun running tycoon
Murder tycoon
5/10 IGN play it with an energy drink.
I think meth tycoon exists - and if it doesn't, someone should make one based on Breaking Bad. It would sell for sure!
Prostitution tycoon - definitely worth a buy that one, hookers haven't really been seen as business assets in games that often.
Slavery Tycoon - definitely more controversial, judging by all the crybabies that whine about it when it's depicted in games. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure one can effectively be a slave tycoon in at least ONE game out there - possibly a pirates clone? Maybe a mod for Mount and Blade? It was a legitimate business back in the day - in more "recent" times, in ancient times (e.g. Rome etc.), and even in current times. Actually, current times slavery tycoon would tie in perfectly with Prostitution Tycoon! Also People Smuggling Tycoon!
Illegal Gun Running Tycoon - meh, available in lots of games already, albeit as periphery activity. Would be best combined with Slavery, Prossie and/or meth tycooon. Basically any game featuring the mob has this.
You forgot Prohibition Tycoon - though it's been done (e.g. 1930's chicago etc.). It's more "mafia manager" though.
Murder Tycoon - you could be an Eastern European snuff movie manufacturer! And you could lure people to the "movies", hire other "stars" (ie murderers) and then come up with ever more screwed up ways to murder people, and film it for profit! Manhunt already did this from the POV of the murderer, but your idea of making a Tycoon game from this is awesome!
BTW are there really people that play games AND are "shocked" by marijuana? Unless they only play ultra-pacifistic games with no theft or killing, these people are extreme hypocrites with serious mental and emotional problems.
