Summary0029558: Suggestion - Consider the approach to older saves
DescriptionDescription:
Due to major changes to how everything works older saves that progressed past the Prologue + CH1 tutorial are bound to give players a major shock when loading them considering they've only played demo especially the earlier versions.
That shock might lead them to immediately dropping the game so some kind of measure to lessen or remove the shock altogether should be considered.

Suggestions:
- When trying to load an old save provide a notification urging players to start a new profile
- Implement an in-depth tutorial that triggers on older saves which will explain all the changes and help players build their economy to match the new model
- Block saves older than 0.592.6 from loading/showing unless a debug flag is present (maybe present the flag to players if they wish to load those saves but they'll be doing it out of their own volition)
