Makkaveli101 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Currently playing as WCW in 1991. I realise that you absorb the companies popularity if they are more popular than you in a region. But is there any advantage in buying out much smaller pop companies as well? I mean if I was to buy out a regional company in the Mid South...would I gain popularity from there being less competition/choice in that region to go and watch? Monopolisation kinda thing? I'm a bit unsure about how worth my while it is buying up the smaller feds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 No, there isn't any real advantage to putting a small company out of business if you're much larger than them and aren't going to benefit from absorbing popularity of taking talent from them. It's really only bragging rights of having taken a scalp. The only time there's a real strategic benefit from spending that money is if you want some of their talent that would otherwise be out of your reach, are expanding into their region and want a quick popularity boost, or you want to quickly take out a competitor who is hurting you in wars.

Makkaveli101 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Excellent. Thanks Adam. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Makes sense as well. As we saw when WCW was bought out...their fans (including me) disappeared off the face of the Earth and didn't boost WWE ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makkaveli101 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 I'm looking into buying a Japanese or Mexican company to build my popularity over there - without TV coverage though in those regions though...would the absorbed popularity just diminish?

Kijar Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Well, based on Adam's reply I believe I am a monster. I've taken over a whopping 20 companies in the span of only 2 years in a modern day game! With the exception of PWG that I couldn't bare to kill, they are my child company now. Also if you find small companies useless as developmental territories, not only should you add them to your broadcaster if you have one, you could just make them a touring company so they would run more shows.

The only game I saw alot of companies get bought out was the 87 mod by mod squad. WWF just kept knocking them down. They even bought out glow of all companies. *My tew experiences may not reflect everybody's game * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep all of their championships so if I happen to Hall of Fame someone, their titles from the dead company will pop up in the list of my titles.

Donners Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Create your own broadcaster. Give them tv shows and events. Costs a fortune unfortunately (and fairly so). That's probably the only way for buying out small companies to be viable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A worker progress in the skills they are focused on improving even if they don't work matches. Just being in developmental helps them progress skill wise.
