I’m still thinking about something witty to comment on it. Something about free crates (keys to purchase separately) and burning hats to stifle the economy.
It’s probably because players here don’t take interest in either greece or trading.
I don’t think he was at Valve for more than a couple of months, however he did study the economy of TF2, which is published in a blog post here: http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/economics/arbitrage-and-equilibrium-in-the-team-fortress-2-economy/

he was at valve for at least a year. And worked on the various game economis (started on tf2 one)
I wish him all the best, clearly he knows what hes doing.

Don’t do backseat moderating.

This could be a slogan to get new admins: “Don’t do backseat moderating, join us now!”

He’s not expressing a political opinion, merely stating some facts.
Cheers :)
If I understood it correctly, he never stayed at Valve HQ for long due to his university commitments, but works with Valve until now (or recently, at least).

Here’s a podcast with him talking about Valve’s company structure and the Steam economy. Very interesting to listen to a non-gamer, but economically educated standpoint.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Welcome to Team Drachma 2. After 14 years in development, hopefully it will have been worth the wait
