“It resembles Game of Thrones. The level of intrigues and manipulations in the sector may be compared to that of the popular TV series. Some players act as feudals: they plot to eliminate competitors and steal money from the treasury.
“This work was mostly targeted at the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and law enforcement authorities. We only structured available information and tried to analyse it. Our goal is to make the sector more fair to attract serious investors”, noted OlenaPavlenko, President, DiXi Group.
The game is available at Ukrainian Energy website
