Seems to be a thinly veiled advert for a company offering financial games. Oscarthecat (talk) 09:10, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Maybe Merge : I guess if you had a list of games or simulations- war games,

game theory etc. At issue is objective I guess, as this is more like entertainment

and maybe it would go with "sex games" or online gambling ( don't get me going on financial markets LOL). Online gaming has generated controversy, aka notability, and maybe this could be merged even if not played with real money. Nerdseeksblonde (talk) 09:39, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Note: author removed AfD template; I've now restored it. Powers ^T 13:33, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Redirect to Financial gaming, even though that article's only marginally better. No merge; the only information not already in Financial gaming is how-to material inappropriate for an encyclopedia. —Korath (Talk) 14:51, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Note user also created Financial gaming and Trading games which are pretty much the same. I move to delete all of them. JuJube (talk) 08:06, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

:Good spot. I've now raised AfDs for those two sites also. --Oscarthecat (talk) 09:12, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Delete then Redirect to Business simulation game as a plausible target.--Lenticel ^(talk) 13:47, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
I found business simulation game too when I was flailing around for a redirect target, but thought it too specific (it deals only with video games) - I would expect to find a more general article article on the genre as a whole that covers e.g. Monopoly (game). We don't seem to have one. —Korath (Talk) 14:59, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Delete or re-direct to pirate memory games. Likely spam. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 19:05, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
