Streaming Race

Should be Early Access. If you're looking to roleplay a music career starting from the bottom, I can't recommend it right now. This is a simple text-based spreadsheet game, but somehow it slows to a crawl after a few in-game months, which kills any sense of career or narrative. By year 3 with the recommended 500 active artists in the world, I was waiting 10 minutes just to load the game, and it was taking minutes to simulate each day. (Look at my computer specs! That's on an SSD too.) Lowering the total number of artists increases game speed but creates situations where entire award categories have zero nominees. The game becomes stupid easy with a low artist count, because sales/streams are divided between all the existing artists. As an independent artist with under 10% reputation, I earned $100 million USD after a year, but nobody would go to my shows. I was winning Grammys but nobody wanted to interview me. And signing to major labels doesn't increase reputation or impact logistics or distribution or marketing or touring or anything. Selling out isn't even a temptation. Everything feels disconnected. Reluctant thumbs down, because this is one of the few music sims that lets …

Oh, this game is so good! If you liked stuff like Chart Wars 3 and Music Wars Rebirth, you will absolutely adore this. Absurd amount of detail. Four different streaming services. Radio. Physical. Dozens of countries with individual venues, popularity, charts, etc. My first act was huge in Colombia, moderately popular in Central America and Argentina, and just scrapping the bottom of the charts in Spain, Mexico, and Morocco for whatever reason. Even releasing singles in English and French failed to get her out of that loop. That said, we could buy the top placement in Streamify's Top Latino chart and virtually guarantee another chart-topper in South America. Did I mention the music videos, collabs, live albums, acoustic remixes? And holy cow, the Spotify feature... all your albums and singles show up there sorted by popularity, and you get daily updates to what's popping off on the service. Some influencer just featured one of your album tracks on TikTok and now it has moved up to your #3 most streamed song? Better get a lyric video out before the moment passes. Downside is the game runs super slow past 18 months or so... which probably isn't too shocking given the game is calc…

Hi! I just want to say that this game is phenomenal and has a lot of potential. However, I can't ignore the bugs and the amount of time I need to spend just to make progress. At first, I considered requesting a refund. However, I truly believe this game has the potential to become the best music simulator out there, and I want to support both the developer and the game's future. Because of that, I've changed my mind. I don't think the game is quite ready yet for a long, realistic playthrough, which is usually how I enjoy these types of games. Still, I'm willing to give it 1-2 years and see how it develops. I'm excited to watch it grow and reach its full potential. 🫶🫶 p.s. this is the first game I bought on Steam :))

just finished playing for 3 hours straight, I had a blast! This is my dream game. The UI is pretty and functional, not too confusing unlike some spreadsheet games. I think it's not too hard, not too easy to master, you learn from your mistakes. All in a a good game if you like management sims.

Great! The best in the genre.

Fun game love the gameplay my only complaint is that I wish I could make the money and dates bigger they are kind of hard for me to read
