## Market manipulation

From time to time Nemesis Inc. may attempt to manipulate the market. When this occurs, their logo will appear next to the affected product(s) in the market section. Market manipulation will gradually reduce the amount of products the player can deliver and how well each unit pays.

If this happens to a currently invested in product, then it is usually a good idea to start looking for alternatives. There are many other products to choose from and, as a general rule, the player should always be a little flexible and not rely entirely on producing the same kind of thing forever.
