Brad Wardell discusses Elemental economics, invites player input

It seems that Brad Wardell is dedicated to the transparency that has earned him a name amongst gamers as an honest and thought-provoking CEO. Having recently explained just how Demigod fell on its face and what they were doing to improve it, he moved seamlessly into discussing different economic models for the new 4X/RPG game Elemental being released by Stardock. It's a fascinating read, especially since it involves asking the community for ideas! It's rare that developers are this active with their intended audience, which makes the ability to change how the game plays in drastic ways with suggestions all the sweeter.

For those interested in making their voices heard, you can visit the official forums to put your two cents into the discussion! Elemental: War Of Magic is scheduled for a February 2010 release date, with a beta planned for any time now.
