This sounds like big news - 330 million users!!  I have been waiting for someone with an MMO to start taking Bitcoin.  And with them developing a Game of Thrones MMO, this is great exposure for Bitcoin.

Quote
In fact, Helioui believes so much in the potential of bitcoin that he’s giving those who pay in the digital currency a 5% bonus (they get 5% more virtual goods than they would if they paid with other payment methods). “We’re not only waiting for people to use bitcoins, we are actively encouraging them to because we believe it will help to drive our business forward."

Nice - pass the savings along to the users.  Smart move! Smiley
