Yes he was a visiting professor for like a semester or two.
- cgio 11mo agoHe was also working for Valve for a while.
- frakkingcylons 11mo agoYes that’s why he and Gabe were speakers at the talk. In game economies were the topic.
- pdpi 11mo agoAnd CCP (EVE Online)
- yeasku 11mo agoYanis basically created steam market and the dota/cs economy
- wiseowise 11mo agoNo he didn’t. TF2 economy existed long before him and he sure as hell wasn’t “basically created dota/cs economy”.
- andruby 11mo agonitpick but Yanis Varoufakis was born in 1961 and TF2 was released in 2007 so he definitely existed first. I do agree that he didn't create the dota/cs economy
- yeasku 11mo agoHe started to work at Valve in March 2012 and steam market was released 9 months later. He created the dota 2 economy and the cs team copied the Dota 2 economy.
- fulafel 11mo agoHis recent stuff is pretty relevant to tech. Eg https://www.yanisvaroufakis.eu/category/books/technofeudalism-what-killed-capitalism/ https://www.yanisvaroufakis.eu/category/books/technofeudalis...
