What I mean by this is that if pc games had a beta test it would be cool if the first round was limited to those willing to pay like 25-50 cents or something in bitcoin. it would be extremely easy to implement this and the reason why it would be good is because someone willing to pay a small amount to enter beta is likely to be more willing to actually play the game since they now have an "investment" in the game. Now that they are invested they will probably play more than someone who got in the game for free. Also on the plus side the company could use those bitcoin somehow. For instance they could reward users who find bug reports with bitcoin (that they got from the people paying) . All the sudden bitcoin opens up a new kind of payment model for beta testers and their relationship with companies.
