Hello there I have fallen in love with IOTA recently and I was thinking about making turn based multiplayer game with blockchain.
I have made game of tic-tac-toe http://iota-tictactoe.ddns.net do you guys think tangle (blockchain) will be used for this in future?

No, it's too slow. You need something much quicker than that. PoW probably isn't best suited.

Maybe something like swilrds hashgrid would work.

But the game does not have to wait for confirmations, it also does not have to send 10tx per second but only one per turn and in for example chess turn can take few seconds and finaly it does not have to be as secure as money transaction it just needs to be propagated among nodes mempool.

Turn based it might be suitable.

I'm considering full scale games tho, or at least slow moving ones, like RTS.

It is slow. Why do people think that cryptocurrencies could compete against Amazon AWS? Cryptocurrencies has many use cases that are better than anything else, but not this one.

Not cryptocurrencies exactly, but there is something worth exploring in p2p consensus in games. Having the worlds first true, real p2p game would be amazing.

because cryptocurrency projects earn millions, aws projects have to compete with a lot of others games.
Think about it. It is better to play COD on aws servers or tic-tac-toe on blockchain?
