Video Game Economies | The Digital Marketplace Of The Past & Future
Update: 2024-12-22
Description
Why is a blue party hat worth so much money!?
In Episode #468 of Mere Mortals 'Musings', Juan and I discuss: how virtual items can gain real-world value, why in-game economies mirror real-world behaviour of scarcity/market manipulation/speculative trading, the reason crypto gaming has largely fallen flat (but might have a future in games like Off The Grid), whether people will watch AI agents gaming in the future and why the crypto casino is already a game in itself.
Huge thanks to Violet Mouse for the support this week, what a legend!
