1  Economy / Economics / May be ? "SteamLike" Video Game Platform for Indies and Bitcoiners. on: January 13, 2016, 07:06:44 PM
Hello all,

So i am this guy, doing part time IT Job, and part time freelance 3D game Artist.
I have just finished a year contract for this game : http://faceoff.isotx.com/  ( No , my goal is not to advertise )

I have This Game that i have been working on and off, between contracts. I was thinking of going the very usual indie way : get a alpha running, go on steam greenlight, wait a few month, go early access, wait a few month... release.

I have discovered Bitcoin only a few month ago, heard about it before without really paying attention. But now that i am getting use to it, i realize that this "tool" has a lot more to offer...

So i had a few "economics and finance" questions that i could not find an answer for.
Is there a way to get financed with bitcoins ? i am not talking about a way to exchange BTC for USD. I am talking about platforms similar to kickstarter ?
Is there a video game platform , similar to steam, but in BTC, may be specialized in indie games ?
If not... why is that ? Not enough interest ? Not enough people in it ?

I would be ready to sell my future game only in BTC, as i am in the idea that world of big finance needs to go for a more decentralized world and more opened medium of exchange.
So I could make a website, and get BitPay or so on that. But that seems like a big need in advertisement, too big for a single indie dev like me.
Any advice, testimony, pointers, from successful game devs and BTC ?

Thanks !
