Gaming Industry and Cryptocurrency!

[Ailurophile]

Is it worth it to play it if your goal is to earn a good amount of profit?
Or is it just for fun and have a small give aways of crypto?
I haven't tried this kind of games since I don't have much time.

The blockchain technology already uses a lot in the gaming industry and tend to be stronger as the gamers support cryptocurrency. There is no doubt that the connection between the two increases the use of cryptocurrency.
Investors are interested and racing to in investing in cryptocurrency games platforms such as The Sandbox and Cryptovoxels want to buy virtual real states with this platform.

"A lot" is a strong word here. I don't see companies like Steam, EA, Blizzard ever talking about blockchain technology or cryptocurrency. Steam even abandoned Bitcoin payments because the fees were too high. You are showing some obscure games that no one in gaming community ever heard about and say that it's a proof of blockchain's success, but it actually shows that blockchain and crypto are light years away from mainstream adoption in gaming.

Yes you says correctly. Now gaming industry completely changed. In before for playing games we see lot of equipments and need to buy those gaming cds also.

But now we don't need any just need one computer, all games are run in cloud platform so no need to download those.

New games all are created in Blackchain technology so we get very fast transactions, Hear lot of games giving good opportunity to earn crypto on playing games.

This is an amazing development in gaming industry.

I know some games are developed through Blockchain but I wasn't aware that Minecraft uses Bitcoin now.
I'm not a gamer but I do play some apps sometimes and hopefully, there could be a time that we can buy some upgrades with Bitcoin as one of the payment modes as I only use Google Pay or a debit/credit card most of the time in buying upgrades.

I am not a fan to games myself. Didn't grow up with that aspect in my life but I have been long enough in the blockchain to see real blockchain games struggle their entire existence. Still can't find Cryptokitties and Fcoin today

Well, the tandem of crypto currency and gaming industry surely is exciting since there are many gamers in different country. But I think, the bitcoin should not be use for payments only or to buy items and/or peripherals in the game. I think there should be atleast other game wherein they can get bitcoin, maybe the best is the gambling but a pvp type of game.

That is possible too, actually the author mentioned like a battle royale game that you earn bitcoin when you hit other players, and vice versa.

This new platform, gaming, is very useful for spreading bitcoin, and is actually one way we can invite gamers that are nonbitcoin users, surely they will be interested. Not only that, bitcoin could be mainly used as a payment method or the main currency used in online games. Not bad. I am sure gamers will agree to this one.

Exactly! Gaming industry becomes widely known specially in Sea Games wherein they included it as a sport, specifically e sport. In this matter we can see how influential gaming industry was that is why there is a big chance for mass adoption if we apply blockchain or crypto with this platform. Also, in this way we can enjoy the feature of blockchain or crypto for we are just playing a normal online game.

It is great that is added in the SEA Games but I am kind of annoyed when someone says in the social media that these "esports" are just added so that the Philippines can gain more medals in that series, oh well. I am trying to find games posted by the OP especially that one related to Minecraft but my laptop can't handle it so I need to play it on computer shops, how about you guys?

Even before sea games happe Esports are already popular worldwide and this even having events in every parts of the world with high percentage of participants,prizes and expectants so why would whis only favor Philippines?when each people worldwide already playing this games?not unless they will accept that Philippines are dominating them in this field?So this is their losses because they are not competent in thosw games.

Well, we are talking about SEA games not the esports as a whole. It will favor the Philippines because they are the host of the said game, which means they will have more players, more medals and they will have a higher chance of winning it, and they did. It is not that other countries will be able to fund all of the players in all of that areas since they will just focus on sports they can win while on the other hand, the Philippines has a lot of players to choose from. Get it?

Honestly, I am very fond of gaming thus knowing that crypto acceptance in gaming industry are now gradually increasing makes me flattered. What I am looking for is that my favorite online games will adopt as well in these kind of payment the fact it is way more convenient over fiat. Also, I am the kind of person who don't want to use fiat in gaming hence crypto would be much perfect for me.

Honestly we are all gladly to know that the gaming industry are having a good time with the cryptocurrency as a fan also of games and also being a gamer is really good, knowing that the games are getting more awesome. Your favorite online games may adopt also cryptocurrency in terms of payment because as like as what you said it is more really convenient this cryptocurrency than fiat.
We are all hoping that the gaming industry will eventually adaptancy specially bitcoin and other coins for devolution of payment into their gaming industry.

This is a great idea for a game. However, often times PVP type games where the ones who are the ladder are the ones that get rewarded is a double-edged sword. And oftentimes they cause more detractors in the game than help. PvP leaderboard type of games causes some form of demotivation to people who are not in the ladder, they tend to quit because they know they don't have any chance of getting to the top anyway. On the pther hand, this type of game are usually the ones that breeds hackers. So just ensure that the mental state of your players are kept in check along with you code the game to avoid unfair advantages and you should be good.

I hope there could also be and MMORPG that will be made for crypto-games fans. Where the drops are not some kind of zenny or gold, but rather crypto currencies. I know it is hard but developers please get this done. Maybe you could put features of mining while playing, with minimum GPU requirements that can mine crypto currencies. If there are no people would do this, mark this post and after 10 years, maybe I will build a team to achieve this, it is one of my dreams, to make an MMORPG, I am a 3D artist where I create animated characters for animation videos, so I only need some other guys to complete my team.

Well, you're right. It's pretty easy to play games with cryptocurrencies nowadays. I think that there is more and more cryptocurrency gambling platforms on the internet, and moreover - more and more people is using them. I do it too, recently I've been using CryptoGamble platform and this is pretty fun.

We all know that Cryptocurrency and Gaming industry fits well, these assets is already accelerating as there is an estimated 1million$ of transactions traded in these two industry in the past 7 days alone.

The blockchain technology already uses a lot in the gaming industry and tend to be stronger as the gamers support cryptocurrency. There is no doubt that the connection between the two increases the use of cryptocurrency.
Investors are interested and racing to in investing in cryptocurrency games platforms such as The Sandbox and Cryptovoxels want to buy virtual real states with this platform.

Surely the gaming industry is helping a lot when it comes to mass adoption especially in transactions, problems and issues are encountered in making a purchase from cards/debit cards also fees with just a micropayment developers find blockchain as an alternative payment or could be the solution.


Today the Gaming and cryptocurrency combined are already a trend:

Earlier this year we a new Minecraft Server, SatoshiQuest, went live. Which enables the participants to somehow treasure hunts bitcoin.

I bet we're all familiar with Minecraft. And if you love Minecraft, I think this news will be interesting for you.

SatoshiQuest is a new mod in Minecraft that just hit the front page of Bitcoin subreddit. It is said by the creator that it give players a unique bitcoin wallet linked to their uuid in Minecraft.

Players will have to log in and they will receive an address where they can deposit a small amount of money like $1 worth of Bitcoin to purchase lives. They can explore the game but the game becomes more thrilling when a certain player is close to the loot, other players can steal it.

SatoshiQuest creator says the transactions are done on-chain and the game will reset after finding the loot.

Here's the link for more information about this news:
https://dailyhodl.com/2020/02/02/bitcoin-btc-treasure-hunt-launches-on-minecraft/

We also have Lightnight A Bitcoin-integrated battle royale game that is still under development that is close to a Fortnite clone.

They say that you could earn bitcoin by hitting other players and vice versa when other players hit you...the game balance is updating every time a player hits you or if you pick up a valuable item.

Also, some items in the game are worth bitcoin and can be pick up when other players are dead,
The game allows you to purchased using your bitcoin as a payment method,

I never thought that Bitcoin could be integrated into games mentioned above. It is really an exciting news and a hopeful one. If Bitcoin users are able to promote the use of Bitcoin through these apps/games, then, gamers and even non-gamers can be attracted. This can result to Bitcoin becoming known and used widespread by people. If they'd have an idea about how blockhain works through the games, they might as well grab the opportunity to get to know Bitcoin and thus, our population could multiply. As long as this moment will be closely monitored, examined, and developed, we can actually gain positive results.

I think the games that I posted in the thread already prove that the cryptocurrency and gaming community have chemistry together. Also, this games are trendy because it uses cryptocurrency as a currency in the game surely this idea could easily implemented some popular games like Fortnite, Dota 2 , LOL, etc. In this kind of game, cryptocurrency is still not used but possible as a payment method kind could easily be a great option to use since there are also a lot of gamers in the cryptocurrency community.

[Destroyeroff98]

It would be very nice if the winners of the tournaments were given cryptocurrency instead of money. For example, in Dota, they could do so.

[sulendra12]

Is it worth it to play it if your goal is to earn a good amount of profit?

I have heard that those minecraft servers are shutting down the bitcoin mining feature because it's so easy to abuse and it would affect the life of those certain servers, so it's not worth your time to actually make it as a full time income as a gamer.

Or is it just for fun and have a small give aways of crypto?

If you are a gamer and want to earn "small" amount of money as a bonus? Then sure!
If you are looking for an easy job? Then this is not a place.

Gaming community is hundreds of times bigger than crypto community. Gaming companies don't have to appeal to crypto enthusiasts, because they are already paying for their products, and adding crypto support would barely improve it. Steam dropped Bitcoin support and they didn't see any loss of revenue as the result. The existing payments work well enough for everyone, so there's no chance gamers would be adopting crypto if it will be added to their games, they will stick to what they are familiar with.

However, perhaps it is better to become a pioneer than to be late with the integration? I think that Steam can afford to integrate crypto payments both on its platform and in its games. If in the future the crypto industry begins to grow strongly, Steam will benefit very very much from this, because it will be already in

If I'm not mistaken, Twitch accepts crypto payments. Now this is the largest platform for broadcasting games and it's cool that it supports crypto

Twitch removed cryptocurrency payment support on their site and Streamlabs also does the same. They removed it in 2019 where the price was really bad at that day and it could affect on their financial as the money is usually reduced as the price went down.

[bhabygrim]

There are so many gamer's who earn through live streaming,
And I think crypto would be the best to make some donation or for them to earn.
I hope that there would be a platform that would make it happen.
And also I hope that there would be a platform where we could buy some in game currency for some online games like Ragnarok Mobile,ML,Garena and other online games too.
