- The same applies if the player decides to drop out.

- Abbreviations for thousands and millions to k and m.
Now, numbers like 100,000 are displayed as 100k, and 1,200,000 as 1.2m. This can be enabled via a checkbox in the currency settings, either at the start of the game or through the menu > Currency.
