My fault for not understanding this was a mobile game to PC port. All the microtransactions were left in the game plus the hundreds of dollars of DLC content to boot.

The game feels cheap because of it. I dont want to play a mobile game on my PC.

Lesson learned about reading up more on those cozy game recommendations. Its unfortunate because the game is funny and chill. I just dont want to be bombed to oblivion asking to spend more money. Money that really impacts game play. Im much more inclined to support devs in their DLC if they arent trying to force me to spend money.

Pizza Fix 5/5
BUT
The game needs to be better balanced:
1. You can't make enough money quickly to upgrade the restaurant. (Feels like you can't make any progress.)
2. Customers' happy meter empties too quickly. (there is modifier you can use to slow the emptying rate, but you have to use your in-game money or something for it.)
3. Adding ingredients to the pizza can consume significant cost (sauce and cheese) if you just click and hold and move it just keeps adding (even once the entire pizza is filled)
4. the Helper Buddies are too expensive. (cheese helper ...etc) - you need $250 (in-game) money to buy a single one.
5. The customers don't provide objective feedback, so you won't know what you need to improve for next time. (not talking about obvious things like missing ingredients).
6. Customers talk to much non-sense / waste time / annoying (this might be true IRL)
7. Games are supposed to be fun, Once it feels like a chore, there is no point in playing.

I played this game on phone first (for free), and after paying for the steam version i dont think this is any better. If you want to play it, then do it on mobile.

Also if you don't play for awhile, then open the game you just get bombed with messages, and other crap you don't care about, and you have to sit through that before you can get your pizza fix in.

game wont sync from my steam deck to pc and all the dlc i bought using my steam deck is not on my pc (which is 100 days behind so all the decorations i was grinding for are gone) and cant fix it at all i wouldn't recommend
