In this guide I will take you through what changes the Capitalism Lab Digital Age DLC brings to the base games and the new types of businesses it brings to the base game.
What is Capitalism Lab Digital Age DLC
Capitalism Lab Digital Age DLC allows you to start and manage telecom, Internet and software companies. You could try to start your own software company developing Operating systems, Office software or even games
You could also aim to dominate the Internet by managing your own search engine, social media, or online retailer.
You could also set up a telecoms company to manage the physical Internet infrastructure, or you could try to do all three.
