SGJ Podcast #290 – Space Game Economies

So Very Important

Welcome to this week’s podcast, my friends! Sorry for the lateness of the post, the July 4th holiday totally threw me off. This week, Jim, Spaz, Hunter and I talk about space games with good, mediocre and poor economies. There are a ton of space games in which the economy is supposed to matter, and we talk about how well they do or don’t pull them off. It’s a fun talk.

On next week’s show, we’ll talk about post-release support in games. Not just DLC/expansions, but patches, modding and so forth. As always, if you have any questions or comments, please drop them in the comments below, email us at hail@spacegamejunkie.com or hit us up on the forums. Thanks for listening, and we hope you enjoy the show!
