Better get ready, because The Executive - Movie Industry Tycoon is now available on GOG, with a -10% launch discount until February 25th, 6 PM UTC!

Shape the history of the Hollywood movie industry in this sandbox business simulation game. Create the movies you've always wanted to see, hire the best team, research cutting-edge technologies, and dominate the Box Office. Can you rise from a small studio to a Hollywood giant?

Now on GOG!
It's finally released. ❤️

Movie Industry seems to follow tight schedules, unlike the gaming one. Likely two+ reasons:
- Must negotiate/reserve a release slot: difficult to imagine "Mission Impossible X" and "Independence Day Y" releasing at the same week;
- Movie developers likely have undisclosed clauses with Investor (Producers?) which would get them into legal sanctions if release schedule broken.
Tight market -> tight releases. Which reminds me of Coens' https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475290/
"See how quickly you can get YOUR studio's films to reach the nadir of samey, box-ticking, made-by-committee corporate garbage!"

...I'm starting to wonder if I need to explain that I often mean Ersatz in the "horrible substitute that Germany had to come up with during the blockade" and not, "generally acceptable replacement".
