Ah, the stock market. Who doesn't love to buy stocks when they're cheap, sell them when they're more expensive for an easy profit, and rake in a fortune after a few months? Well, the reality isn't nearly as simple, as there's a lot of skill required and sometimes the market will just crash and potentially put your empire in jeopardy, but what if we could have something fun based on that? Enter the stock market game genre. In each one of these, you buy stocks cheap and sell them for a profit. Sometimes events happen which may change up what stocks are hot. You can also have an advisor who tells you how the market works and what stocks they suggest investing in. As it turns out, the stock market fad started to erode, the Wall Street crash of 1987 and the crash of the Nikkei average of 1990 in Japan with the "Lost Decade" to follow happened, and the genre wouldn't be so hot anymore since the belief that stocks are easy money crumbled. What's worse is that the games were too complex and aesthetically boring for children, while adults would eventually prefer games with more adult material (often involving Fanservice or Gorn). Full-on games based on the stock market are a Forgotten Trope outside of nostalgic throwbacks, but minigames based on them still show up occasionally, especially in the Idle Game genre. |

Universal Paperclips has a stock market, but all the player can do is deposit or withdraw money - all the actual trades are made by the AI. Spending "Yomi" allows you to make the engine smarter, improving its profitability. It becomes obsolete, though, once you Mind Control the entire world and progress to stage two of the game. | |

X3: Albion Prelude has in-game stock exchanges based on commodities prices in a given system. Their primary function seems to be an easy way for the player to rapidly acquire stupid amounts of money by manipulating the market to crash and then skyrocket: the prices are based on how much of a given good is physically present, meaning you can bottom the market just by flying a freighter with a full cargo hold of said good into the system. | |

Grand Theft Auto V has an in-game stock market, which becomes the focus of some of Franklin Clinton's missions under Lester Crest, where assassinating certain businessmen allows certain investments to become profitable later on. In addition, helping a random encounter stockbroker bound for Liberty City will also give any of the three protagonists a chance to make a good investment in their stocks not long after dropping him off at the airport. | |

In Final Fantasy XIV, the Island Sanctuary has a pseudo-stock market in which you can gather materials to produce items to ship back to the mainland in exchange for cowries. The supply and demand of these manufactured items fluctuates based on hidden patterns every week, both of which greatly affect potential payouts. This encourages players to gather lots of materials and carefully plan what items to make on a given day to maximize profits. | |

Planet Life uses a highly simplistic variation of a stock market in Chapter 2 where you can use Stardust to buy Ghosts, for you to sell later for more Stardust than you bought once prices go up, and vice versa. | |

Animal Crossing emulates the stock market with the Stalk Market. Every Sunday you can buy turnips from Joan/Daisy Mae, which can be sold for fluctuating prices depending on the day and what town you're currently in. Turnips do start to rot after a week, so you only have a limited time to cash in before they go to waste. | |
