/v/ - Video Games

There are very few commercially released games that attempt to incorporate aome sort of financial markets, and none that try to 'simulate' stock markets using historic data. If you want to do that, then just forget about games.

well the historical data part would just be cool. im more just looking for a game where you can play as a trader in a market thats headed towards financial ruin. i think it would be pretty cool, but ive never heard of anything like that.

also, why did you have to sage anon? this thread will die soon enough, atleast give me a chance to have my question answered by a couple more anons.

also, i suppose if any anons know of any games that have a decent stock market minigame, let me know. the only one i can think of off hand is GTAV, and it was pretty clunky. i remember the charts didnt even work, and they just displayed random data, so it kind of sucked.

>none that try to 'simulate' stock markets using historic data

Absolute bullshit.

Universal Paperclips has a very rudimentary stock market simulator. Again, nothing based purely on historic index values.

It's not a bad concept, per se, but keep in mind that

>Few people are interested in learning about the stock market

>Nobody handling big money is interested in the sheeple learning about the stock market because they HATE competition, why would they fund a game that could on the long run make their golden goose give a 0.00000107% smaller YTD performance?

hey this seems like it would be a lot of fun. so bumps are longs, and the sages would be shorts then?

i actually tend to disagree. big guys love new, dumb money pouring in. they view it the same way that casino owners do. they know that given enough time, they will be able to suck all the wealth out of these idiots and then (their) life will go on. brokerages love it too as they can reap insane amounts from commissions charges from said idiots. greater fool theory in a way.

honestly thought he was gonna get way worse. judge went middle of the road on his sentence. 7 years i think. didnt catch what type of prison, but im assuming its white collar. honestly, out of all the evil hedgies out there, martin gets an unnecessarily bad rap. sure he hiked the prices of medication for profit, but he was simply using a tried and true method (loophole, really) that almost all of the major hedge funds have done themselves. his problem is that he was so open and smug about it. but in the long run, the guy is small peanuts compared to the absolute sharks that are out there doing similar things every week.

oh, and also he was an idiot who took on far too much risk and nuked all of his clients accounts. this is obviously what he was actually charged with, but it seems that his past as "pharmabro" really made the judge and jury want to throw the book at him.

i know, right? we should totally start our own /v/ predatory hedgefund and try to financially take over the game. kinda like what goons did with EVE, but less fucking gay and goony. we could have thread here as our boiler room.

i think it would be a lot of fun, and we might even learn a few things about how to trade irl

>>14470290

oh shit i didnt realize that it isnt online. the first paragraph made it seem that way

More dumb money into the market is good for the big fish, but there's way more actually good advice about the stock market out there in the internet than around the time Wall Street Kid came out, and thus, more smart money. More smart money in the market means less individual power for big investors to pressure companies, stage pump'n'dumps, etc. Better to tell wage slaves to put money in 1% retirement funds and tell them it's the "best option available", instead of them discovering low management cost ETFs.

>>14470307

Still fun regardless and it seems like it's highly informative for people who plan to go into finance. Either way it looks addicting af

ive been trying to tell /pol/ it was the (((gnomes))) all along…

>when your post triggers some autist into posting some fucking 1990s shareware

Fuck you too.

I remember some anon posting this one game about stocks that directly talked about the jews.

>>14464882

There is old DOS games like Rags to Riches. You can even buy stuff for yourself like a house.

>>14472310

>>14472310

>karol icon

>>14472310

Anyway to make the screen larger?

>>14473789

Not sure because I think the "game" has been developed by some Terry A. Davis tier fag for 20 years.

>>14474835

>That way you can invest with real cash and make real money.

Where did you get this notion?

>>14474879

I don't think you get what "real cash and make real money" means.
