Jokes aside apparently they've hired economist to keep the game's market's stable.
- Cthulhu_ 3mo agoThis was at least a decade ago, but the game's economy seems to be managed well enough. Cost of having stuff transported is still 1M / jump.
- reactordev 3mo agoPLEX keeps the markets stable now as they control the flow of PLEX like its Spice from Arrakis
- sitzkrieg 3mo agodepends on size, location, contents, risk, a million other factors. people are not paying 1m/jump to get stuffed freightered around by jita lol
- tuzemec 3mo agoWasn't that Yanis Varoufakis? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanis_Varoufakis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanis_Varoufakis
- sph 3mo agoNope, Varoufakis consulted with Valve
- throwaw12 3mo agothat's very interesting, is there a place to read his achievements related to Steam? genuinely curious, because Steam is very popular now, and wondering what he did there, and whether his theories helped boost Steam economy/marketplace or not
- zipy124 3mo agoHe has however written about the game before, and been interviewed about it: https://www.yanisvaroufakis.eu/2014/01/30/war-spikes-in-the-eve-online-universe-a-political-economists-account/ https://www.yanisvaroufakis.eu/2014/01/30/war-spikes-in-the-...
- tuzemec 3mo agoAh, that's correct. Got it wrong, because he did write some articles about the EVE economy, like this one: https://www.yanisvaroufakis.eu/2014/01/30/war-spikes-in-the-eve-online-universe-a-political-economists-account/ https://www.yanisvaroufakis.eu/2014/01/30/war-spikes-in-the-...
