Hi David,

I remember you ever mention about price sensitivity..

If you sell a product cheaper , then you gain most the market share..
Yes, i can see this apply on below of Wine product..

But is this only apply to AI? As you can see below i selling lower price the AI, but i have equal market share..

Thank you

That competitor of yours have a much higher quality. And therefore your overal rating is the same as competitor. Also you can see how much "price / brand / quality" matters for each product. For frozen lamb the concern is 53% price and 39% quality !

Hi Tzache,

Well, i cant say you are not right..

Hi Kie

Yeah, I agree with you.
I believe the AI does get some sort of handicap when it comes to demand/market share as I am always in a similar situation to you even with 5 shops selling a product compared to the AI with 1 shop

The devs said that they use the same code for AI companies and the player for consumer demands and they didn't code any handicap.

If you have a saved game that obviously shows the problem, please supply it to me. I will ask them to investigate if it is a bug.
