imo what Giekas is saying is that IF your company is worth 1000 Billion and you're adding 5Bn a day to that, why would you bother looking for loaners that will take 1M each and pay you an interest of say 100k a day? Even if you had a thousand loans of that amount, which I guess would be more than the entire loan market, you'd make just 100M a day. Compare that to the 5Bn you're making already...
I actually think this game isn't designed for people playing it much longer than beyond the contest for presidents... Only addicts like Giekas, myself, ... continue after that :-)
That being said, I might be inclined to help some new players out with loans. On the other hand: that would just require the game to be harder at the start. Otherwise, I don't see the need to help people as most make it just fine without loans...
I do think there should be banking though. As things are right now, there is no penalisation whatsoever for keeping excessive stocks. They don't perish. Their financing doesn't cost a dime. In reality, you should be making the tradeoff between having enough inventory and the cost of having it... If you get an interest on your money, you need to decide whether you just stock up on goods, or deposit it a the bank. Or, if I can dream out loud: full financial markets (bonds + equities). You might purchase interests in other people's companies. Buy low, sell high :-) |
