Capitalism 2 and Capitalism Lab Forum

In current game mechanics this situation can not happen, the corporation been controlled over 50% is forbid to purchase stock belong to its parent company.

In the real world, it's much more complicated. Usually these "tie-up corporations" would be considered a single economic entity instead of separate companies (with IFRS standard). And stock regulation agencies in a lot of countries have rules for these kind of inter-holdings as well, for reasons such as it might cause tax related issues and frauds.

AI holding AI? or purely between human players in multiplayers? I don't recall ever seen this kind of situation happened back in the days (haven't played multipleyers for decades) since human players usually don't expose their shares more than 50% in PvP. It's way too risky.
