The dude that was hired to oversee the trade system in Ashes has a Ph.D in Economics... That's legit.

    Plot Twist: They're actually gathered all that money to build a new country around an island instead of a game.

    The only issue is that game economics often do not work like real world economics, game economies are often burned to the ground regularly with bugs or high end items. I do look forward to future statements about how the baseline economy will work ingame once things start to be fleshed out.

    The Intrepid Team has my absolute trust and I think they will know why they need an expert in Economics. Anyway I thought the CFO and Steven should be enough experienced to make an ingame economy, but I hope that the economy will grow and be huge in fact of the new hiring

    Absolutely. With a Ph.D in Economics, I'm 100% sure the dude gets it. Economics is a ridiculous field. I took lower and upper division economics for my undergraduate degree, and it was harder than all my math and statistics classes combined. Anyone who has a concentration in it, has my respect imo.

    It goes along with what i been saying in guild and on discord, the economy will be a real deal. I would love to ask him a billion questions about his view on game economics. :P maybe we should be studying up on our economics.

    How can one not be delighted and overjoyed that they hired an actual economist to drive the in-game economy? Welcome, all new @Intrepid team members, and thanks for working to create such a rich world for our enjoyment!
