CLUSTER LIFE-BUILD-BUSINESS · 31 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2009-11-24
Wealth-building life sim games
This cluster comprises life and business simulation games that center on escaping poverty and building wealth through careers, businesses, investments, and passive income. The dated history runs from November 2013 to March 2026 with irregular, mostly single monthly entries, showing no clear growth or decline pattern. All traction leaders have zero stars, led by 'Business Game: Ramen to Riches', followed by 'Guild-1-Remake-Ready' and 'empire-life'.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
