THE GAME IS READY, THE PAGE ISN'T

EQUILIBRIUM was due out in Early Access on September 10. It's the 16th and it still isn't on sale.

Anyone with the game on their wishlist is looking at a page with a date that's already passed and no explanation. Someone thought it had been pulled from the platform. So let me be clear about what's going on.

The game is finished. It hasn't been cancelled, it hasn't been delayed, and I didn't move it. It's the same game I've written eleven devlogs about, and it's been ready for days.

What's missing is the final review step on the store page. That's a stage Steam handles, and the timing isn't mine to control. The request went in last Friday.

I don't have a date to give you, because I don't have one myself. What I can tell you is that the moment the review clears, the game goes on sale — and I'll post here the minute it does.

Sorry for the wait. I'd rather tell you this than leave you looking at a silent page.

There's a function that, if it finds the name of a real company in a piece of text, swaps it for the matching in-game company.

In the formula that calculates fiscal space each turn — how much room the State has to spend — there was no income term. Not one. GDP was growing. Reforms were working. The economy was expanding. But that growth never turned into revenue. WHAT IT MEANT IN PRACTICE…
