Virtual World Economics

¿What to expect from this newsletter?

Last year we saw the rise of NFT games with open economies and their own currencies, bringing digital ownership to the gaming world. Games are moving from a closed economy to an open one. This poses new challenges to game economic design.

Virtual world economics is going to be a research portal on the economies that make up video games. Some of the aspects that we are going to talk about are:

• Economic analysis of web3 games (ex: supply/demand in the game, tokenomics)

• The economic basics of previous web2 games(ex: what mechanisms do games like World of Warcraft and Eve Online use to maintain their economy) 

• Basic economic concepts applied to games(ex: sinks and faucets, monetization models)

Join us on this journey to better understand how to create sustainable game economies that offer the best possible social experiences.
