  • Game Dev Tycoon is a fantastic management tycoon video game where you have to try and run a game developer whilst not going bankrupt! It might sound rather difficult because if you make the worst games your going go bankrupt fast as no one would buy a bad game! Well introducing the EA DLC strat! Because today the spiffing brit will be making the worst games possible by mirroring the game development strategy of electronic arts! Thats right prepare yourself for 1 million copies of fifa being resold with as much DLC as possible! Because why make a good game when you can just make a terrible game and plaster it with micro transactions and DLC! I personally cant wait to create the perfect game! Not a game with straight 10 scores but rather a game that creates millions of DLC revenue! So today The Spiffing Brit will be discovering if GAME DEV TYCOON is a perfectly balanced game or if the EA DLC strategy only challenge which causes an infinite money glitch is overpowered. So sit back relax and enjoy this funny montage of a mad english chap as he exploits games for your entertainment.
    This video game exploit video will be jam packed with a best bits funny moments montage style of editing similar to that of Valefisk, Robbaz and RTgame. So sit back relax and grab a cup of tea to enjoy with the spiffing brit!

    I tried playing Game Dev Tycoon a while ago, but after struggling a bit I remember looking up some info and finding out that to really min-max the profits in the game you can't do something like really try to make great games - as if you do, the gaming public 'gets used' to that quality and judges your future releases much more harshly for it.
    While there's some logic in that, gameplay wise it makes it far less engaging if your strategy is supposed to be "let's not actually try our best here and intentionally aim for 6s and 7s instead of 9s and 10s".

  • @art-de-lark

    Exploit idea: When I first played this some time ago, I believe the quality of your game was judged based upon your average previous scores.
