Historical reference?[edit]
Chambers 1908 defines it as "the title by which the shoguns of Japan were known to foreigners from 1854 to 1868". Equinox ◑ 08:07, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
Use outside of Roblox[edit]
I don't know anything about Roblox, but "tycoon" is used to describe a lot of other games (see w:The Sims 2: Open for Business, w:Business simulation game, w:Transport Tycoon, w:OpenTTD, w:RollerCoaster Tycoon, w:OpenRCT2 for examples). I don't think it exactly matches the Roblox use but it seems like it would be more mainstream and worth adding. Pokechu22 (talk) 20:55, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
- This is unrelated use. It's just sense 1, "a wealthy and powerful business person". That's what you play in those games, just like in the game called Street Fighter you play a street fighter. Equinox ◑ 20:58, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
