The web version does require WIFI, but if you are running the Windows version, it does not. In any case, there is not much I can help with error code 500, as Ray_the_man mentioned the Itch.io servers might have gone down. Other than that, you can try these steps:

For web version:

  • Make sure WIFI is on.
  • Make sure you have a Chromium based browser.
  • Open the game in a private tab/mode.

For Windows version:

  1. Try reinstalling the game. When prompted, choose the "Uninstall Tech Giants" option.
  2. Check "Delete the application data" (this will delete your saves).
  3. Install the game as usual.

wait, can you make offline game, For example. hardware tycoon/processor and eaglercraft and others boring game with no multiplayer loaded doesn't require wifi. If big tech doesn't have any multiplayer, then why big tech require wifi?

The game does not require a constant WIFI connection, it only needs WIFI to load the game. On browsers, the browser cache will get cleared either because you opened a lot of tabs or because your computer ran out of memory. Regardless, the game needs to be reloaded, which requires WIFI. That's how every browser game works really, unless they are built in a way that stores the game files for offline use, but I would think that's quite rare and has its own problems.

The game will have a Linux version in the future. However, as you mentioned, you run the game on a school computer, which means you probably can't install any apps on it because of admin privileges.
