I believe that some platforms are testing with cryptocurrencys. I believe that Steam already is.
But with stuff like https://webapp.tenx.tech/dashboard already coming you can use that for online gaming payments.

Well as what i have seen on the internet and heard from other people there are some online games that is already accepting crytocurrency like BTC. I think Steam is one of the example and based on rumors other online game are also looking forward on using/accepting virtual currency

[Novais111]

I mean, Cryptocurrency and gaming is probably the most obvious thing that was gonna happen. People using clickandbuy and paypal for decades for their ingame purchases. So paying with your cryptowallet would be the smallest step a gamer could make =)

Steam should research some Alt Coins to use for their platform, BTC is way too expensive!

Steam is no longer supporting Bitcoin
6 DECEMBER, 2017   - KURTIS
As of today, Steam will no longer support Bitcoin as a payment method on our platform due to high fees and volatility in the value of Bitcoin.

In the past few months we've seen an increase in the volatility in the value of Bitcoin and a significant increase in the fees to process transactions on the Bitcoin network. For example, transaction fees that are charged to the customer by the Bitcoin network have skyrocketed this year, topping out at close to $20 a transaction last week (compared to roughly $0.20 when we initially enabled Bitcoin). Unfortunately, Valve has no control over the amount of the fee. These fees result in unreasonably high costs for purchasing games when paying with Bitcoin. The high transaction fees cause even greater problems when the value of Bitcoin itself drops dramatically.

Historically, the value of Bitcoin has been volatile, but the degree of volatility has become extreme in the last few months, losing as much as 25% in value over a period of days. This creates a problem for customers trying to purchase games with Bitcoin. When checking out on Steam, a customer will transfer x amount of Bitcoin for the cost of the game, plus y amount of Bitcoin to cover the transaction fee charged by the Bitcoin network. The value of Bitcoin is only guaranteed for a certain period of time so if the transaction doesn’t complete within that window of time, then the amount of Bitcoin needed to cover the transaction can change. The amount it can change has been increasing recently to a point where it can be significantly different.

The normal resolution for this is to either refund the original payment to the user, or ask the user to transfer additional funds to cover the remaining balance. In both these cases, the user is hit with the Bitcoin network transaction fee again. This year, we’ve seen increasing number of customers get into this state. With the transaction fee being so high right now, it is not feasible to refund or ask the customer to transfer the missing balance (which itself runs the risk of underpayment again, depending on how much the value of Bitcoin changes while the Bitcoin network processes the additional transfer).

At this point, it has become untenable to support Bitcoin as a payment option. We may re-evaluate whether Bitcoin makes sense for us and for the Steam community at a later date.

We will continue working to resolve any pending issues for customers who are impacted by existing underpayments or transaction fees.

if u r playing games like CS or dota or pubg, you can buy in-game goods for btc, but only from specialized web-sites

[Matijash89]

Not sure about Bitcoin since Steam was the only one accepting it but they stopped.
I think that Enjicoin was designed for the gaming industry

Ethereum has a few games that are incorporated into it's blockchain.
Etheremon and Ether Dungeon spring to mind. They both use the Ethereum network and have their own tokens.

All i know is you can use bitcoin to buy game credits for your game. As for me i use bitcoin to purchase MOL points to top up my game.

[mcnocon2]

Today, there are already examples of companies that show that online games are becoming part of the crypto economy. For example, the Swiss company EverDream Soft has launched three MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) games where transactions are protected by blockchain, and cryptocurrency is used as a means of payment when trading

The latest trend seems to be people creating their own counterparty token for their games. Have a look at games like,

Age of Rust


Age of Rust is a multiplayer mobile game which offers adventure gaming built upon the premise of blockchain technology,

combined with role play and strategic thinking. With reward-based opportunities laid throughout, players receive

cryptocurrency rewards, as well as collectible trading cards to further their progress both in-game and outside, as crypto-traders.

Augmentors

Augmentors is the first blockchain-backed mobile game to integrate augmented reality into gameplay, as users summon

creatures to battle enemies in the real world. Alongside multiplayer battle modes and single player story modes,

Augmentors utilizes RPG and TCG elements combined with this augmented aspect on the blockchain framework, to allow

players to take their trained and captured creature assets (created as a counterparty token) with them across platforms in

the interoperability afforded by the bitcoin blockchain.

Spells of Genesis

Spells of Genesis is a mobile game combining the collective and strategic aspects of trading card games, with the multilevel,

addictive stylistics of arcade gaming. Collect, trade and combine ‘ORBs’ to build the strongest decks on the bitcoin blockchain,

and put them to the test against various opponents, all the while exploring the fantasy realm of Askian.
