Responsibilities:
As a Game Economy Designer, your responsibility is to understand how a game works as a service for its customers and project how customers behave.

You will also provide constant data-driven recommendations on design, tuning and pricing.
To do this pre-release, you’re able to design the virtual products a game will offer, define metrics that allow you to individually measure their impact on a given title, and work closely with the development team to see designs refined and metrics implemented.
