    Tl;dr: By having someone work to design and maintain the game economy, making sure it’s part of the development plan.

    No actual details in the whole interview.

        While true, Eve hasn’t had an economist on staff in a very long time now.

        And the economy went to shit lol

          Do you know when the economist left? Was it with the change of ownership or before?

          It’s a real shame the economy went to shit, it was always one of the best parts of EVE.

            I don’t know when specifically, no. I think before the change of ownership.

            The economy is only shit compared to how it used to be, it’s still a fairly standard video game economy.
