Wiki : Bootlegging

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet. You can lose your online store to a critical fail.

Also found something related to this in code but wasn't sure of it. The log category confirms it.

It should say "Your store was taken offline" followed by the reason. I can't tell if we'll have to start from scratch or we'll just have to launch again for 10 nerve.

Knowing my luck, I'll be the first one to lose it.

Yeah I saw it too, sucks to lose your investment of a few hundred nerves. I'll definitely stick to collecting the money rarely so I don't lose it.

I wanna lose it for science.

8K in sales from online store seems huge! I’m around the same time period and;

Online store customers: 656

an x2 increase in the last 24 hours, so is definitely picking up

I have a theory that online store sales vary throughout the day depending on the players online count, similar to the subway crime. I don't have the data to back it up though, but it just seems like sales are slow around when the player count is the lowest.

Update:
First 48 hours of the online store


Total DVDs copied: 11,994



Online store visits: 460


Online store customers: 83


[background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]Online store sales: 168[/background]

Has anyone else noticed this? The online store seems to be generating passive CS.

Is it known if the crit fail happens only when collecting money? If so, given the low amount of cash given, it would be better to never do it. It might "reset" the popularity of the store and take longer to ramp up

Unique Outcome > Lotto Voucher > Bootlegging (Sell DVD) 5nerve > I literally hit 70 when the grey star popped up. + the FIRST time I clicked on the "sell dvd" crime, the unique outcome came up.

Mine went from 42% to 43% without doing a crime in around 6 hours

match it with the subway, if your right you should consistently make more $ when the subway is in the green and less when its in the red!

i might be getting a slightly excited from this one

I've written a script to track the shop sales, in a day or two when I have enough data it should be fairly easy to see what's going on.

I'm not sure if you are concerned with WHEN the unique events spawn but I found the 1st unique event right before 70 skill and then had a new unique spawn right after hitting 70

Is anyone else noticing that they're selling a lot more Action, Comedy, Drama, and Fantasy than the other 4?

My numbers are like:
450-550 sold each of the 4 listed above
and then
150-200 sold each of the other 4.

I wonder if there's a hidden mechanism here? Like it might be harder to sell (and possibly copy) these? More failure rate?

I was just thinking of that exactly. I go in and try to keep them mostly even / stocked, and thought I'm constantly clicking on those guys.

I graphed about 20 hours of data, sales growth looks linear (fixed growth) for at least this short time period.
