VGChartz should make a video game CEO sim and get on that list

The possibilities are endless...

-Should you overwork staff and not pay them overtime and risk bad press (or even a costly lawsuit) or take your chances and hope that your game doesn't miss deadline and budget? 

-If you're running a Japanese company do you try to make more Western friendly game by:

a) Handing over a key franchise to a Western developer
b) Buying a struggling Western studio and try to reboot their IP
c) Have your own developers try to put a Western spin on your games
d) Or do nothing and hope you don't lose all your marketshare to Gears of Duty 11

-Are you going to be a ruthless businessman that milks franchises for all their worth and run the risk of killing them prematurely or do you create lots of new IP and hope something sticks?

-Will your bribery get your game those golden 10s or will it get exposed all over the Internet?

...

This sounds like it would be an interesting game, actually. And I could see it now... we make more money than Activision! :P
