DEVELOPING ECONOMY

-

B2Expand is a developer that has shouldered the task of constructi­ng an economy alongside its games, and its value is tied explicitly to the quality of those games. The more people who play them and buy things from B2Expand’s store then the stronger its economy, founded on its Nexium cryptocurr­ency, becomes. And yet the studio destroys half of all the revenue it makes on purchases as a measure to prevent Nexium devaluing as a result of the overall supply of currency increasing as more people trade in it. If these two principles seem at odds, well, welcome to economics. Since B2Expand funded the studio with an ICO, it’s anxious to ensure the value of Nexium its early investors own raises in value.
