Game company hires economist

I thought it was very interesting to hear that Valve was hiring their own economist.

Gaming environments have long included a wide range of economic activities so it might have only been a matter of time until they had their own economist.  This is also interesting to see how Professor Yanis Varoufarkis makes the transition from academia to one of the largest game companies.  It really highlights the opportunities in the modern economy to brand oneself and manage one's own career.
