Reviewers express concerns about the game's optimization, noting that the influx of government funds and new investors at the end of each year obscures the true performance metrics, making it difficult to assess the effectiveness of strategies and decisions.
“Since the government, for whatever reason, gives you huge amounts of money at the end of every year, and new investors come, it's not possible to know your actual performance.”
