Tanking the economy so you can buy up stocks only to undo the policies that tanked the economy in the first place is the most accurate financial system simulator ever. It's not even a glitch!
...and this is why insider trading is *technically* illegal but almost impossible to enforce. Not a glitch, but a flaw in the game - there should be major consequences (both short- and long-term) to messing with the budget sliders and those consequences aren't currently in the game.
Maybe if you put a Federal Trade Commission building (or it’s a default mechanic) in your city there’s a chance every year for your corruption to be found out and you can’t trade for a certain amount of time when you are
10:13 let's go, its the corruption dlc But I absolutely love this and cannot wait to see you incorporate these assets into your builds, especially Verde Beach and your new skyscraper districts
you are doing something really special, cpp. your content is in-depth and complex, but you manage to make it relaxing and easy to understand. on top of that, you have a good attitude and a soothing soundscape in your videos. i really think you’re the best content creator in the cities: skylines community.
With the release of the new Insider Trading...er, Financial Districts DLC... Amusingly, the exploit you pointed out was pretty much the first thing that came to mind when I read the dev diary on how it worked.
This looks like an episode that should be titled “Learning about SEC violations!” Still love the content, just thought tanking the economic to make financial gain was almost too realistic lmao
A lot of people have already said it but I'm laughing at how realistic this thing is. And you even did it with the Oil Industry as an example. Love the new buildings and plazas. Thanks for the stellar content as always.
Not only is it morally dubious but it’s literally illegal. I kind of wish that was reflected in the game and somehow it would detect if you are manipulating the markets and give you a fine as a punishment.
fun fact: the skyscraper bank is based off the old 270 park avenue(jp morgan hq) in NYC, which was recently demolished a couple years ago for a new headquarters. I do like the design on the new skyscraper theyre currently building though.
10:41 I don’t really care about the Wall Street simulation. I’ll play with it a bit. I really like the banks and armored trucks. Just a touch more realism. Just like the post office, you either love it or you hate it. Almost all towns have both.
CCP, you are the only person on YB that I can actually watch the entire video from start to finish. Many other people that play cities: Skylines aren't the same lol. Hats off to you. This DLC is going to be great. I love the amount of detail in your videos. Keep up the good work! I watch your videos as I'm playing CS it keeps me from rushing ahead in my own city and actually work on crafting detail.
I just can't wait for the assets on the workshop. Banks from real life, armored trucks that actually work with the DLC, different branch styles, etc...
It's so funny (and sad and angering and terrifying) that the "infinite money exploit glitch" is basically just insider trading plus lobbying... Kinda put some people riches into perspective 😅
Tanking economy to gain money, it's not a glitch, it's exactly how stinky stock markets do every day. What the stock exchange can help you to do is to reimbourse a loan or compensate for a slightly tanking city budget without resorting to the unlimited money mod. The elevated and underground plazas have spare space to put metro stations with Move It, especally if they are norrow ones (like one tile stations in the workshop).
This is going to be a revolution for the speedrunning community. I recently watched a couple speed running videos, and I am tempted to get the dlc just to see if I can beat a world record by the power of the stock exchange. I'm not a speedrun-type of player, but I focused on growing my most recent city faster than I normally do, and it's really balanced out my playstyle. It's much more enjoyable and time efficient.
As everyone else is saying, there needs to be a "Corruption DLC". But this glitch could be fixed with a simple update... When insider trading is detected by the game (funding level changes associated with invested stocks), then happiness plummets, causing crime and protests, which increases traffic and noise pollution, which eventually decreases housing value and ultimately decreases population. With a simple Mod, it could make insider trading disastrous.
20:27 this is game is in my top 5 favorite games. I am buying the DLC on Christmas 😊. I don’t play it all the time (You and a few other content creators allow me to vicariously play, when I don’t have the time).
Ah yeah, the insider trading DLC just dropped Edit: do the shares give dividends, or is buying and selling the only way to make money off these? I fear they don't
I asked the developers. There are no dividends. I wish there were. I also think there should be government bonds and debt introduced into the game. I hate it when I can't buy stuff when the city is in debt - Governments are always in debt and spending money on everything.
@@drewsteps Bonds are huge - cities generally aren't allowed to have a surplus to save up for things, so bonding is the only way to go. Would be nice to be able to play that way, but also very frustrating, ha!
I don't think it counts as cheesing when members of congress legally do it every day. Great video! This isn't my type of DLC but you made a good point about supporting colossal order so maybe I'll pick it up anyway.
Thank you so much for clearing up a few questions I had, like whether the Industries DLC counts towards the "200 squares of buildings" and what the "productivity" of services was based on 👍
I hope they made a DLC about Politics and social welfare, like you could see actual crimes happening on the street, protest, homelessness, and elections.
NoTo be honest, with a well developed city, all industries and the whole shebang, you don't need the loophole. Took me less than an hour, maybe 30 minutes to get to level 5 on the exchange. Just give the hig earner stocks a small while to build up equity, and then cash in at a good amount. No loophole needed, as far as I coul tell.
Phil, only a 22 min episode?! I’ve been refreshing my home page constantly for your video and you only give me 22mins?! Lol I love your vids bruv. Keep up the great content! 👍🏿
Are the bank vehicles allowed on the pedestrian roads? Fire, police and hearses can use those roads, but other vehicles can't. If not, do the bank vehicles pick up cash from the service points?
I know this DLC has been out for a while, but I want to thank you for the short cuts and how I can make the stock exchange look more realistic in my city. Did not know that I could unlock everything and then remove/replace it to a level that fits. Thank you.
The financial/investing mechanic is a bit gratuitous (and brings back unpleasant memories of the trading mechanic introduced in Simcity). This DLC looks like it ranks with Snowfall & Natural Disasters in terms of desirability. I'm still going to buy it of course!
Interesting shift directly to insider trading. Maybe they are just teeing up the next DLC: Cities Skylines - DOJ, FBI and SEC Edition, featuring criminal defense attorneys....and no new prisons 😬
I figured you'd be turning off parts of the oil industry to crash its worth so you could snap up its stocks, but I didn't realize it'd be as easy as defunding the whole place for a day or two. Either way, I could see it happening on a less extreme scale - a manufactured crash, essentially.
In before Phil bobs away the stock tickets on the exchange for every modded build. (I wish those new variation features would let you have versions with/without!)
I think it's hilarious that your "infinite money glitch" is hardcore, obvious stock manipulation. The simulation is not wrong! But I guess the SEC isn't simulated.
Oh no - I misspoke! Color corrections are *not* available on console. Sorry everyone!
such a pain
Thanks for clearing that up Phil!
@M7 A No
Gutted, I wish they could find a way to make it happen
Got excited there for a moment! All the more reason to shut pull the trigger and build myself a PC

@@macstrong1284 but that's not realistic.
The most realistic thing is that there is no consequences for doing so.
@@TrinityShoji nah nah they get a fine that’s not even 1% of what they earned through illegal activities.
City planner discovers insider trading. “It’s like an infinite money glitch!”
City Planner discovers real life
City planner discovers that there are zero exploits and it is perfectly balanced.
"Let's make a quick city" Proceeds to make a city that looks better than what I can do in hundreds of hours
I'm sure yours are great! But practice makes perfect!
Next DLC will be law enforcement with a FBI headquarters to arrest you for your white collar crimes 😂
And all you'll have to do get out of it is pay some meaningless fine and send some poor middle manager to jail. Rinse and Repeat ad infinitum
There is an intelligence agency asset haha
@@CityPlannerPlays 🤣🤣🤣
And the CIA coup d'état the player if he spends to much on social services
10:13 let's go, its the corruption dlc
But I absolutely love this and cannot wait to see you incorporate these assets into your builds, especially Verde Beach and your new skyscraper districts
it's pretty realistic in that sense hahaha
Those are rookie numbers.
exactly what i was thinking 💀
Brazil DLC, nice!!!
Roleplay as Phillip DLC
you are doing something really special, cpp. your content is in-depth and complex, but you manage to make it relaxing and easy to understand. on top of that, you have a good attitude and a soothing soundscape in your videos. i really think you’re the best content creator in the cities: skylines community.
bro I swear his voice is the most soothing ever
like I could literally fall asleep listening to it
With the release of the new Insider Trading...er, Financial Districts DLC...
Amusingly, the exploit you pointed out was pretty much the first thing that came to mind when I read the dev diary on how it worked.
Do wish there was genuine punishment for using this, like a massive unhappiness boost or riots.
This looks like an episode that should be titled “Learning about SEC violations!” Still love the content, just thought tanking the economic to make financial gain was almost too realistic lmao

Thanks for the stellar content as always.
Congratulations, CPP, you just discovered "Insider Trading." 🤣
If a mayor traded like that in real life it would be incredibly morally dubious
And yet the members of the US House of Representatives are allowed to actively manage their investment portfolios. Makes you wonder. . . .
My guy … if you only knew ..
wait until you learn about the housing market
This is incredibly illegal. Its called insider trading
Not only is it morally dubious but it’s literally illegal. I kind of wish that was reflected in the game and somehow it would detect if you are manipulating the markets and give you a fine as a punishment.
19:37 evil CPP trying to take control
@@Idrienful fr 😭💀
I’m so glad PDX and Colossal Order finally added insider trading, the bureaucratic experience wasn’t complete without it
Today in City Planner Plays, we discover politician insider trading
fun fact: the skyscraper bank is based off the old 270 park avenue(jp morgan hq) in NYC, which was recently demolished a couple years ago for a new headquarters. I do like the design on the new skyscraper theyre currently building though.
Loved the harmony at 19:37
This is some crazy levels of open insider trading.
10:41 I don’t really care about the Wall Street simulation. I’ll play with it a bit. I really like the banks and armored trucks. Just a touch more realism.
Just like the post office, you either love it or you hate it. Almost all towns have both.
This map seems inspired by Dubai
So it's basically an insider trading simulator?
I've recently gotten into Cities Skylines - and you are one of the largest reasons I managed to come to love the game. I'm grateful for your videos.
Pulling a little federal government move with the insider trading, niiiice. haha

Same! I watch the whole thing no mather how long hahaha
At first I was confused why you weren’t using Tutoria, but that map is fantastic!
Yeah what map were you using in this?!
Welcome to New Tutoria!
I just can't wait for the assets on the workshop. Banks from real life, armored trucks that actually work with the DLC, different branch styles, etc...
Cities Skylines allowing inside trading is the most accurate depiction of modern capitalism.
19:37 *THAT SAID.*
It's so funny (and sad and angering and terrifying) that the "infinite money exploit glitch" is basically just insider trading plus lobbying... Kinda put some people riches into perspective 😅
OPEN THE DOOR MR. CPP IT'S THE SEC!!! Your being arrested for insider trading!

They should have put in Scrooge McDuck's Money Bin as a skin for either the skyscraper bank or the max level stock exchange.
1:06 let me explain what I've done here. Getting some serious Bob Ross vibes.

So were just gonna ignore that City Planner Plays cloned himself for a second there?
Fun fact: the exploit you used exists in real life too, but most lobbies have applied a patch where you go to jail if you do it
City planner plays insider trading tutorial
that's not 'glitch'.. that's the insider trade and market manipulation. A very realistic feature.
Can't wait to see this DLC in your builds!
Excited to see the new DLC in Verde Beach!

9:38 In America, this is called gaming
or inside trading

15:36 "Costs just a little under double" :: costs exactly double:: had to add to this "THAT SAID" sorry I'm in a mood today lolol
Phil doing some insider trading! You're basically qualified for the United States house of representatives!!! Congrats Phil you're a politician now!!
Your honor this was not insider trading, it was simply a money glitch
When you buy and sell shares in something you operate and own, almost exactly like insider trading 🤣
The "that said" in stereo at the end made me jump!
I LOVE ARTIFICIAL PUMPING STOCKS LESS GOOOO
That's not a glitch, that's how the stockmarket actually works
Now our politicians would never manipulate the tax codes to profit for themselves. Just their family and friends.
What happened at 19:37 sounded like it was 2 of you for a split second 😳
"You're throwing everything in one stock like it's GameStop."
Well first of all, it's pronounced "stonk"... 😉
Thank you so much for clearing up a few questions I had, like whether the Industries DLC counts towards the "200 squares of buildings" and what the "productivity" of services was based on 👍
I hope they made a DLC about Politics and social welfare, like you could see actual crimes happening on the street, protest, homelessness, and elections.

Great video, Phil! But... What happened here? 19:37
Phil is now an Inside Trader. Don't let the FCC find out.

Awwww I was hoping for a Texas/Nevada/San Diego build. I love the desert with green areas scattered around the map.
Probably one of the next ones!

Keep ‘m coming CPP! Love the videos
Insider trading simulator. Love it.
* insert go straight to jail meme * :D
you're better than a financial advisor, you're a hacker :))
is the rubberband mechanic of "More money in funds = less weekly income" still there?
Gives me spiffing brit vibes😂
Preach the dollar cost average method, the proper way to invest
Kinda gives insider trading vibes to me.
Can’t believe the support this game gets. It’s awesome. It almost seems impossible to do a true sequel at this point.
The financial/investing mechanic is a bit gratuitous (and brings back unpleasant memories of the trading mechanic introduced in Simcity). This DLC looks like it ranks with Snowfall & Natural Disasters in terms of desirability. I'm still going to buy it of course!
Phil's financial advice: Do highly illegal stock manipulation and insider trading :P
Interesting shift directly to insider trading. Maybe they are just teeing up the next DLC: Cities Skylines - DOJ, FBI and SEC Edition, featuring criminal defense attorneys....and no new prisons 😬

I am PUMPED to see this DLC in Verde Beach! The International Trade Building would be great for expanding the Tax Bonus to wealthier communities.
The financial buildings really remind me of the Chicago architecture!
At least the area where I am usually at
I dont get why they called it a "mini-expansion." Sunset Harbour could never.
Wait, you're not the SpiffingBrit.
With insider trading, you replicated Dubai.
In before Phil bobs away the stock tickets on the exchange for every modded build. (I wish those new variation features would let you have versions with/without!)

Off the topic sir: I wonder why you always left some space inside most blocks? Just curious thanks!!
Favorite city player by a long shot👍🏽👍🏽
holy cheat thats should be arrestable offence on that 2M insider trading XD
