What do you think about Bitcoin and the games industry?

[iMark]

Do you think they will use?
And if yes, how they can use BTC, blockchain and cryptos in general?
The only and most obvious for me is use cryptos to pay games,
in steam, psn, xbox live and etc, but I'd like to see your ideas guys

There is no matter of wonder,  about the relation between Bitcoin and the games industry. I've already seen their are a lot of  games industry who allows bitcoin as their payment method especially for casinos.
Morever they can have their won coin/token as their payment method. blockchain & others maybe possible in future Csuse I belive technology will have much more advanced than now

Because payment by bitcoin is much simpler than using CC, debit, or paypal. not only the game industry but many online-based
industries are starting to partner with bitcoin for payment. in industry 4.0 and above bitcoin will be king in terms of payment.

Hey guys, I was wondering about Bitcoin, blockchain and cryptos in general and their relation to the games industry

We all know, people at my age (31 years) growed up playing games, surfing the internet and they are  very close to technology in general

Games always have put new technologies to evolving the market, like: Internet to play multiplayer games, virtual reality and 3d to have a deeper experience, photorealism, payment inside app/game and etc

But until now, games industry didn't use any new technology related to cryptos

Do you think they will use?
And if yes, how they can use BTC, blockchain and cryptos in general?

The only and most obvious for me is use cryptos to pay games, in steam, psn, xbox live and etc, but I'd like to see your ideas guys

it is really strange that gaming industry is very cautious in adopting crypto
I'm talking about the mainstream companies , so far they only ventured into the "you could pay for games in crypto "
G2A and MMOGA come to mind , but if Steam accepted crypto again , for example ....
https://www.extremetech.com/gaming/260106-valve-ends-bitcoin-experiment-will-no-longer-accept-payment
for some reason Valve found the experiment was a failure
so far the games you can play are all gambling related or collectibles like Kitties
this is a huge market to explore , it is only a matter of time when a good blockbuster game about crypto is created

Yes I agree, but I see on thread that people have good arguments about the legality if BTC and another cryptos, the big companies do not want to have their brands linked to cryptos if this will cause any problem or any bad advertising fot them
And I agree with that, is a delicate subject

But I hope they found a good use to this technology

[raidarksword]

Yes, there are game developers adopting and using blockchain technology in the development of their projects. I recently participated on such project that focus on game development that aims to utilize blockchain technology thru game system items and services to its user using their platform. Gaming industry is huge, so it's very a good investment to those who are into gaming.

There are games that represents how the bitcoin works. It gives the knowledge to all the users about the blockchain and cryptos. I think in the future they will use the bitcoin for payment and of course a way to give some knowledge about how the digital world works.

Many people are grow together with games in their life. We all know that in the past years, there are a lot of famous games that actually get the highest rate not just only rate but percentage of income that they get because of the players that play the game. Together with the coming up of the internet connection, they develop online games that can communicate with the other people around thr globe. With this, we can put here the cryptos in a way that many games right now are needed some expenses for their own happiness. Game industry will adopt cryptos in their games someday.

In regards to bitcoin's market value and lucrative potential, it would seemingly be alluring
to the gaming industry. It's simply a good payment option with a good market value, that
too can change if it spikes up for some reason. I think bitcoin and other altcoins are a
forthcoming player who has this bigger role to play in the gaming industry, gambling and
other sectors that involves money. That's the beauty with bitcoins, its's potentiality is
immensely wide.

Using bitcoin as payment gives you convenient. No means of using fiat to get what you want through internet. There are some game industry are accepting bitcoin as payment, most of the time are gambling games. It is much easier for everyone.

Well, I do think they would use in the near future, little by little. As if it for isn't as compact as it is for now. Sure thing, if the company has the interest with the flow on how crypto works, and if they got the nerves of carrying the risks behind the decisions.

They might use it as an investment I guess? Nothing more, nothing less. May be they would letting the money be in crypto value when the crypto price itself got sky-rocketted.

If we talk about online casinos, today cryptocurrency is very actively used and it is important to consider that there are leaders whose platforms are the most popular in the field of gambling, such as Tron, as well as Dash and EOS coins.  But I am sure that if bitcoins are used in everyday life of a person, then undoubtedly bitcoins can be used for physical casinos too.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Most of the games ( especially mobile games ) has pay-to-win gaming system. I think Bitcoin can be added to games as a payment option. By doing that, there will be an increase in Bitcoin usage.

[alexsandria]

What you have mentioned or answered to your questions I think are the only ways we can incorporate bitcoin to gaming. Gaming do not have much offered to bitcoin, some gaming giants even drop it.  Also, we have different kinds of games, ofcourse in offline games we can't do much about it. It could be just on the payment system but in other aspects, I think it is hard to incorporate bitcoin on it.

[meanwords]

I can see some example on how some games or gaming platforms will use cryptocurrency. As for games, they might use cryptocurrency as a way to pay for in-game purchases as a start. For gaming platforms, they might use it as a way of payment to buy games and such. There might be more uses to it but I think that will be the first step for adoptions in the game industry.

[Arsenyo]

I've read that Ripple was to merge Blockchain technology with video games with the cooperation of Fort. So, it has allocated a $100-million capital which is handled by Fort, a specialized firm in using Blockchain technology in the game industry. But I think bitcoin is unlikely to be widely used in the global gaming industry. I mean I can't imagine how to use bitcoin or cryptocurrency in a game industry except for purchasing game and items using cryptocurrency. Maybe it's because I am not good at understanding gaming industry properly.

I think you are pertaining to the mainstream games such as dota 2, csgo, Apex Legends and much more. I think, the reason why these games aren't using cryptocurrency is because of the volatility of the market price of such cryptocurrency like bitcoin and ethereum. I that case, they will need a cryptocurrency expert to determine the price that they need to set whenever they wanted to start utilizing cryptos to their games.

[Astvile]

Bitcoin or cryptocurrency itself has nothing to offer to the gaming industry except one thing, bitcoin can ease the player's way of paying for in-game topups and recharge. Steam already implemented this but lately got removed. This is the only thing I can see cryptocurrency, in general, can bind with the gaming industry now

Maybe he is, but I dont think those popular games will adopt to bitcoin as payment method for now, there are a lot of circumstances they must review to avoid any issues. Because if the volatility of the market, its also posible that the amount of crypto in the game may differ depends on the price of bitcoin.

This is incorrect really, using BTC to pay for "top-up" or game credits are actually probably the part of the gaming industry that needs the least amount of changes to be made.

The real innovation behind this would be using crypto-currency as money for most popular games, and then the currencies being transferrable from game to game, helping consumers and businesses. This could also work with setting up marketplaces where items can be traded from different games.

[barabarian1]

if you mean like buy diamond (top up) with bitcoin or other crypto, who party that want to ensure this method? this is really good if playing game and we can transaction with cryptocurrent.
there are many game with basic crypto but its just a game, it dont give you coin as reward if you winning something

What's Steemit provided is just a part of the service. Cryptocurrencies have got lot many things to do with the games industry. In terms of buying games bitcoin is being accepted on several stores. Apart from this there were more games being added to the gambling websites that can be played betting with cryptocurrencies.

Right now there is not much of stores as well online service renders related to the gaming community integrated with bitcoin. Gambling industry is the one that is much advanced with the cryptocurrencies usage. Also those gambling sites were the one that contributed good to the circulation of bitcoin during the early days of bitcoin into usage.
