Franchising Gyms

[Zello]

Suggestion: Franchising gyms/owning multiple gyms in different cities

Suggestions Description: There are certain cities or certain times where there are very few public gyms and have public gym shortages. Let gym owners franchise their gyms and open them in multiple cities. By letting people franchise their gyms and open them in multiple cities it lets those who know how to properly run gyms give their gym access to more fighters in cities with poor public gyms. There's Golds gym, Planet Fitness, Equinox franchises all over why can't MMA Tycoon do that? Tycoon is in the name let me be y'know a Tycoon. Franchised gyms would be charged VIP like a single business in order to encourage more public gyms. There is a catch though if you make a franchise they can not go private. Also there should be a possibility of losing your franchises if the cleanliness and equipment conditions fall and aren't maintained the system could force some locations to close. Franchising would be simple 1 location per city.

Pros:

• Cities with horrible public gyms now get better run gyms
• Encourages more public gyms

 
Cons:

• Someone could have a monopoly
• People could get discouraged and don't want to compete against the franchises leading to less gyms being opened
• Gym crisis if the owner goes inactive

I somehow missed it until now, but the situation with public gyms is terrible at the moment. In total, there are currently 31 of them operating outside the island, 7 of which are run by managers who have not logged in this month. If you look at it more closely, the situation turns out to be even worse. There are no public gyms in Amsterdam or Rio de Janeiro. There are actually two in New York, but none of their managers have logged into the game this month. The situation is similar in Sydney, where the only public gym is run by a manager who remained active for 9 days.

Perhaps there is another way to solve this problem, but I can't think of anything better, and something should be done about it...

That's the least of the game's issues at the moment.  There's also currently a HUGE gaping hole for orgs supporting those who aren't unrestricted ready between 380k-394k if you want options or don't want to do 10 minute rounds.  The fact that the only remaining 390k org just folded (or will after the remaining events are done) after passing between 3-4 managers in a 2-3 month span is very sad.  And the only reason that half of what is available in all aspects of gameplay still is largely due to the rampant blind-eye towards multi-accounts now.  The game would likely be flatlined without them though.  It's already on life-support in a big way.
