Well yes of course. I would like there to be a good (and balanced) difference between state-owned and private factories. Could make the game more interesting, but I would like to so I can have an equal shot of doing well whether I choose to go all private, all public, or a mix. Now I say here an equal chance with all. This is just really a balancing issue to players can choose to go laissez-faire, planned economy or a mix of they want to, and there is no imba strategy. But there would have to be a difference in what they do (public and private factories that is).
But yeah I think this is a good idea and would give players more choices and options, and make the economic aspect of the game more fun and add a bit more strategy; so I hope we can get the devs to look at this? =D
