I saw this very interesting [Ted Talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-I6Qn56QWI&pp=ygUWdGVkIHRhbGsgdGYyIGVjb25vbWNpcw%3D%3D) which discusses the Economics of a popular game called Tf2. This piqued my curiosity, but I couldn't find much more of this content on youtube. Searching for the term "Video Game economics" leads results more about the economics of buisnesses which sell video games rather than internal economics of video games.
