Gaming Industry and Cryptocurrency!

[Asuspawer09]

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 industries 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 the Bitcoin subreddit. It is said by the creator that it gives 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:

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,

You can now trade Your Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items for Bitcoin Cash, using the Bitcoin.com Local as an escrow.

here at Link Here

You could connect your steam account to the bitcoin.com local and go and trade CS: Go items in the Steam inventory.

"When I first came across the trustless escrow technology built on top of the Bitcoin Cash network, I was impressed. Previously, I had seen many instances where third party escrow providers had exit-scammed users, resulting in the loss of funds."
-Luke Lynch

Just like other games in the steam CS: GO is really a popular shooting game for a long time, having this kind of escrow technology with the Bitcoin Cash could easily do some gain in the cryptocurrency community.

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.

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.

Lightnight looks great. If the gameplay and graphics are excellent it could be a good game to promote Bitcoin imo.

I think a game where you can get Bitcoin or crypto by winning a match/session is generally a good idea. The user only needs to input their wallet address, play the game and then earn rewards. In terms of marketing, a third-party can use their marketing funds to encourage users to do some specific things, such as building a good team with the sponsor name on it.

The minecraft mod also looks great.

Lightning battle royal is surely going to be a great game plus the cryptocurrency reward is going to be a big trend when the game is already released.

Been wanting to try that minecraft edition one. We love playing minecraft at our home. Really neat idea honesty to get bitcoin in minecraft, as well as it helps with mass adoption of u think about it.
The amount of people out there that play minecraft is unreal.

[passwordnow]

The graphics of these said games are like Minecraft and it looks amazing. Now, I understand why many kids love to play Minecraft and with the Lightnight, does requires us to have a deposit or sort of bet before playing the game or they are just rewarding everyone who kills another player without any collateral from the players? Is somebody already played the game? this is really fantastic, this is like a dream come true if this goes long term.

Lightnite looks amazing. Just checked out their official website and it looks fun as hell for the average kid. Especially when you can also have an opportunity to earn a few bucks playing it..

The only thing is, this could turn into a bad usage of Bitcoin by children (remember stealing credit cards to buy in-game currencies?). But I guess it's going to be way harder than the credit card thing, considering the credit card purchase only needs the numbers on the front and the CVV..

It's amazing to see these games coming to reality though. Might give Lightnite a try once it goes singleplayer (it's supposed to be released this month but it's not up yet)!

[FlightyPouch]

Battle Royals are a bomb right now in the gaming industry, a lot of players are playing that genre at any age. I think they should also consider MOBAs since that is also something that would people look into. Thanks for that information since I love games and I never thought that these games are even a thing yet, I think I will be starting to mine some Sats now.

About satoshiquest where you do purchase up some in game potions thats why theres a unique depo address for each player.So it isnt a F2P but on general sense those things are
essential for you to last on the game and the main target is to loot.I havent tested out the game though but both satoshiquest and lightnight are pretty damn good games imho.

Looks like this gaming industry and cryptocurrency have some chemistry. As a gamer I personally like cryptocurrency since I'm aware of it, I would love to have this kind of idea and probably going to play this cryptocurrency games that look so challenging also it would be great if you could also earn cryptocurrency in the game probably some kind of gambling game.

Minecraft treasure hunt server would be fun to play I don't know if the game main goal is to find bitcoin or you could also just play for fun. But having this bitcoin in the game would be entertaining and could boost gamers to play.

[davis196]

Cryptocurrencies and the GAMBLING industry can fit very well,but I'm not so sure about cryptocurrencies and the gaming industry.More than 10 years since the creation of Bitcoin and several years after most big altcoins were created,I can't see a game using cryptocurrencies to buy and sell virtual game items to be really popular and successful.Congratulations about the Minecraft server that uses BTC and let's hope that the Fortninte clone game will launch successfully,but those aren't original concepts.Copying Minecraft and Fortnite isn't enough.We have to come up with a unique crypto game concept that can't be exploited,with a virtual game item marketplace that can't get manipulated.

Indeed. Cryptocurrency and gambling is such a good combination. You can play different games and at the same time you can earn. That's why it's undeniable that a lot of crypto enthusiast are also into gambling. Though we also know that gambling can lead us to great loss of money. But it's a risk we make so we should also be prepare about losing.

And as for Minecraft with Bitcoin, that's really new and exciting and I guess you can really earn Bitcoin because it is said that you have to deposit first. So I guess you can really earn. And it's like you're mining while playing which is cool.

Yes, they are good. Thanks for hinting about some game feature like potions. I still haven't tried it and waiting for more verifications and reviews before testing it on my own, just to be sure.
I hope that these games will last unlike those early projects that was made and has its own dedicated token yet, many of them turned into a failure.

There is so much games that are cryptocurrency is involved just like what happened on the game League of Legends or what we called right now the LoL in which there are a group of people who try to inject some script on the game and whenever they play the game the script will intent to mine some coin which is the xmr or the monero and they will earned but eventually it has been detected and stop the doings because they say it is illegal.

After reading this I immediately think of the Movie Ready Player One, about virtual gaming that could use all resources that you have in the game in real life, and after seeing that you can earn bitcoin by killing someone in the game is an absolute likeliness in that movie, Well a game developer can surely apply that concept and used real-time money inside the game, currency that is real money is very usual now inside all online games platform whether it is PC, Mobile, or a gaming console would surely have real money purchases,

And I think if a person can earn money inside that game I guess that game could be a big hit instantly, people love playing games, people love earning money, people love working on their skills and techniques beating the game or other players inside the game If they can surely combine all of that aspect I guess that would be an instant hit, and revolutionizing it with cryptocurrency is a great choice.

[xvids]

I like the Lightnight game I think it would be a huge hit if they could get a greater graphics.
I also think that they should make a MOBA so other gamers could also enjoy it.
I also wish that these games would be mobile friendly.

There are already some gaming that crypto related but wasn't gain any attention yet or became a thread in popularity. If there will be a way that crypto will be implemented in popular games now, we can really see if it will have the same impact or support like gambling industry gets in crypto users.  Some gaming companies were seeking partnership from startup crypto company relating in this matter.

The problem with the early crypto games were either half-baked or done with haste. Other games, due to them staying to be a blockchain-based game and all movement and activities needs to be written and recorded on the blockchain, their game pace is quite slow.  And this kind of game is not appealing to the masses.  But the game listed on the OP is quite fascinating, and that shows us how the game sector of Cryptocurrency had improved through the years.

I found the post by Asuspawer09 very informative. I agree with you that gambling and cryptos go together very well, but I don't think that's enough. Gambling has a big problem: it's stigmatized in society. While gamers can also suffer from addiction and it's a big deal, people see gambling more dangerous and unworthy. This means that while it's good for adoption, it might not be that good for reputation. Gaming, on the other hand, is neutral, because while some suggest that it's harmful, others say the opposite. Cloning games is not very good, but I believe that gaming and cryptos can go really well in the future because people often buy stuff in games, and cryptos are indeed convenient for that.

Yeah there are some games that adapting the idea of bitcoin, implementing the blockchain and even using cryptocurrency as their prize and rewards or method of payment but some of them are like a faucet instead of a game, but at least you can still enjoy while doing faucets, and mostly 8bit games there are also a lot of ICO, IEO projects that focuses in the gaming industry but we don't know maybe someday there will be a popular game that based on bitcoin.
