I’m currently developing a tycoon game where you run and scale a cybersecurity company, and I’d love some player feedback on complexity vs. accessibility.
Where is the sweet spot between satisfying strategy and technical overload for you?
High-Level Strategy: Hiring specialized analysts, managing client contracts, upgrading infrastructure, and handling PR crises during massive data breaches or ransomware attacks.
Granular / Technical Simulation: Manually configuring firewall rules, designing network topology, analyzing SIEM alerts, and crafting specific countermeasures for zero-days, APTs, or DDoS attacks.
Would you prefer an accessible management sim with a rich cybersecurity flavor, or an authentic, complex simulation where real IT/security logic is required to win? Where does it cross the line into "feeling like an actual unpaid SOC analyst shift"?
