Go read this history of the SimCity studio's forgotten business games division - The Verge
Popular "simulation games" like SimCity aren't literally training players to run something like a city. But what would happen if they did ? In the 1990s, SimCity studio Maxis tried to find out.
From 1992 to 1994, a division called Maxis Business Simulations was responsible for making serious professional simulations that looked and played like Maxis games.

Two-time Shark Tank alum on running a business during coronavirus
Aaron "Alpha.M" Marino is no stranger to adversity, and like many other small business entrepreneurs, the Covid-19 pandemic has forced him to innovate his game to combat a bearish economic climate.
Similar to many other social media influencers, Marino promotes other companies' products in his videos as a way to generate advertising revenue, and sponsorships have decreased by 50% as a direct result of the coronavirus.

Since striking it big on Youtube back in 2013, Marino has created four companies: a haircare company called Pete & Pedro, a skincare company called Tiege Hanley, a sunglasses company called Enemy, and a brand growth company called MENfluential Media.
