Cheapest The Corporate Machine keys — keyshops

Keyshops are third-party marketplaces — keys are resold and can be region-locked or a different edition. Check the listing's region & edition before buying.

Some stores inflate their “regular” price to show a bigger discount. We flag those (⚠ inflated) and show the real saving against the actual list price.

About The Corporate Machine

The Corporate Machine™ is Stardock's classic 2001 real-time economic strategy game, available now on Steam. Dive back into the timeless battle for one of the most ruthless environments ever created: international trade.

Corporations exist in a constant state of war: Plotting to destroy their rivals, CEOs chase world domination through economic strategies less deadly but more complex than any military maneuver. Control the market, or face the prospect of buyout and bankruptcy. Build your business empire, dominate the industry, and amass a fortune you will need that private island to fully enjoy.

I loved the original business tycoon game(which this remasters I guess) I don't know why you felt the need to change the GUI or what the sales representatives say(they are very sycophantic now). I bought it on sale for 4$, and I played it to bits as a kid. So I'll give the thumbs up. Also, as someone else mentioned, the ingame mall is not giving the reduced cost effect it advertises. It also was broken in the original(I still have the original)
