[Help]The OS Market Share Decreases

[josephZ]

One thing weired. My OS market share decreases, with better quality, lower price and better branding. Even when I set the price to 0.01, there is still no difference. Is this a bug? Anyone can help?

I remember having the same issue and it was explained to me that updates trump quality in software - in other words set your research to a very short cycle (6 months) and your teams to auto update the product after each cycle. If you are in a tech lead, then after each successful cycle you will see a large jump in sales which slowly tapers off over time, keep doing this and it will eventually lead to your market share stabilising at a very high level ahead of everyone else. It is also dependent on how many computers have been sold, but as far as I can tell the game doesn't look at the different types of computer (eg desktop, laptop, etc), which becomes a bit strange late game.

Or it is indeed a "bug"/behavioural quirk that needs fixing, in which case I would be happy to have this fixed as well.

I just got another reply on another forum, that says it was triggered by the E-commerial selling, which will leads to the occupation of the market sharing. I'm not sure if it's true.
