What makes a business tycoon game worth playing for months?

Hi Product Hunt Community,

I've been building Entrepreneur Tycoon: Business Idler Click, and one question I've been thinking about is what makes a business simulation genuinely enjoyable over the long term.

Is it watching a small business grow into a massive empire?

Making strategic investments?

Buying properties and collecting rare items?

Or having meaningful decisions that can change the direction of your progress?

I'm trying to build a game that offers more than just watching numbers increase.

For those who enjoy tycoon, idle, or business simulation games, what keeps you coming back?

And what usually makes you lose interest?

I'd love to hear your thoughts, especially about features or mechanics you wish more games in this genre would get right.
