Partnerships, Licensing, & Badge Engineering.

Hi, I found your game through facebook and I am very excited about it.

Will companies in the game have the ability to enter partnerships, or license their technology to other companies?
Some examples or reasons would be:

If company X has a good engine design could they sell engines or license the design to company Y?

If company Y has a strong market presence in one country could they purchase cars from company X (who presumably has a weak presence in said country) and re-badge them as their own?

If company X needs a larger factory and company Y has excess capacity could company Y sell capacity at their factory to company X?

There are probably many other reasons as well.

Thanks,
Mitchell

If company Y has a strong market presence in one country could they purchase cars from company X (who presumably has a weak presence in said country) and re-badge them as their own? - Yes

If company X needs a larger factory and company Y has excess capacity could company Y sell capacity at their factory to company X? - Probably not, its a bit complex to impliment with how our system works - but you could sell a factory to another company.




Feel free to hit us with any other questions, they are helpful to our design process!
