EDIT: There's really more to this than the title suggests, but overall it's a very good watch.

Please provide transcript. Many people on this forum, including myself, cannot access youtube from our local internet, and therefore cannot contribute based on the outside source, only the title.

"In-Game Economies and Microtransactions" - Just based off a 10 page research paper I did on the subject 4 years ago in college, microtransactions, when allowed to circulate the in-game economy through tradeability, can stimulate an otherwise stagnant market into viability.

I'm still against having a cash shop in this game unless it was free-to-play, but since it is here and it's not going anywhere...

Yes. Square Enix, listen to Valve. They know what's up.

Make. Everything. Tradable.

A 40 minute video? Might want to at least give the gist of the point you're trying to put across in the OP, or a time stamp to go to, or something. Certainly I hope you don't expect the community team to sit down and watch a 40 minute video with like no information going into it other than vaguely what the topic is. I'm sure they're kind of busy with every other post in this forum, you know?
