Gaming Industry and Cryptocurrency!

[fiulpro]

The thing is people involved with the gaming industry are more open and more flexible therefore you know with the growing demand for games they try and put in as diverse payment methods that they can , I have never seen that many payment options in any other industry.
Therefore I do think that it is as excellent place where the cryptos are coming in handy .
People actually prefer using cryptocurrencies as a means of payment , I had a person buying Bitcoins from me just because he wanted to pay for the games and all .
It's profitable for both the parties.

Weren't you the same guys who tried to the top-view Fortnite style game a few months back? Or was that someone else, could have sworn your name was in it.

Anyway, Bitcoin's been a big part of crypto gaming -- I still think people have yet to learn about how revolutionary provably fair truly is, and yes I hardly ever use the word "revolutionary"! But other than that the use of crypto is gaming is a good use case, but it can't be the only use case. People or gamers rather, they don't care much about the Bitcoin aspects of crypto... when they should! They'd just as easily use 100 other digital monies.

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.

Last few years gaming industry growth itself hugely. This is the only one platform who near crypto industry. That's why many company trying to start their project with blockchain. We saw couple of good quality blockchain game project came in to the crypto world but sadly most of them didn't survive. I guess it need more time to expand for gaming project in blockchain industry.

One thing that i don't understand why most of blockchain game create with low quality graphics..? People mostly play game for spent some relaxing time or for make fun but how could people play those game if it's not interesting. I guess this is one of the most important side to working out.

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.

The concept of the game is fine and I think is a really innovative way to promote bitcoin. But I am worried about its progress for a couple of reasons. One thing that I would like to point out is that since this game is a fortnite clone basically, this could cause some copyright infringement and issues from the developers of the two games. Which could then cause controversy. This could either make or break the game as it could garner users to come in and play the game, but it could also cause serious legal issues and at the end have the game be closed.

Another is the payment method. We want the game to be as accessible as possible through all means. And it being only available for purchase through bitcoin doesn't help. I know the developers want to promote bitcoin or cryptocurrencies as a mode of payment but not everyone is a bitcoin investor. This could easily be a gateway to have them invest altogether to bitcoin but setting up a bitcoin payment on a non-bitcoin user is already a big obstacle.

because this is still the beginning, the focus on gaming and blockchain is still in a small reach and no one has really built it to high-quality standards. This is related to financing, and the target markets and consumers. The next few years I'm sure if the gaming and blockchain niches get a good response, then the next few years will appear games with better quality.

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.

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.

If this will be beneficial for game developers, and will be in demand, then perhaps we can see the opportunities for cryptocurrencies on a par with fiat.

The only very strong counterbalance is the payment of taxes by companies, and the financial statements in fiat are very different from cryptocurrencies, which tend to change their course.

[joeperry]

I must say that I haven't had a gaming experience that is inclined with any cryptocurrency. But the idea of combining the gaming industry with cryptocurrency is very enticing and I believe would encourage more people to finally engage with cryptocurrency. It is truly the best tandem so far, it will be beneficial for both game developers, game and cyrptocurrency enthusiasts. The possibility of cyrptocurrency mass adaption is evidently  visible because there are a lot of people who are very much into gaming specifically online games.

[millionaireshs]

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.

Same question. Does it require the player to deposit funds? Maybe if yes it will turn into gamble and I think this might be a problem to kids if they will be engage in this game that is why they need parental guidance. On the other hand, the game becomes more challenging for the players since we can earn btc from it while playing.

[bitbunnny]

Gaming industry was among first that accepted cryptocurrencies. That is kind of natural and that was open support to new technologies and adoption of crypto. Since gamers are usualy younger generacijom that raised popularity of cryptocurrencies among young. The only problem that I see here is that a lot of kids are exposed to gaming industry as well as cryptocurrencies and that might cause certain problems and addiction too.
However, gaming industry remains one of the best promotors of cryptocurrencies.

One of the early labels of Bitcoin was that it is a currency of gamblers, online gamblers in particular. But it didn't actually stain the reputation of Bitcoin. In fact, the integral features of Bitcoin made it the preferred currency among gamblers of today. It is easy to notice how large the crypto betting sites and casinos accepting Bitcoin have grown to become. That speaks of a large market. Not only that, it propelled crypto gambling sites into a different level with other blockchains and cryptocurrencies joining the competition out of the huge potential of crypto gambling industry.

It is not really a thing to worry about addiction and kids because the huge majority of these crypto gambling sites and casinos are legal and duly registered, thus compliant of the laws regarding addiction and age requirements.

[Latviand]

Simply shows how cryptocurrency not only Bitcoin, is widely being adapted in some activities particularly those which are digital. It is not surprising to know to be honest. Blockchain technology would surely suit well to online gaming industry such as with online gambling. Transactions will be faster and might be cheaper in this case.

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?

Depends I think, I haven't experienced playing tho. But for sure it would be more used on buying the items within the game because it would be another thing when betting is involve. It would more look like online gambling if that would be the case so chances are high that it would be used in purchase of goods.

That would be good to anticipate and blockchain technology might be adapted to more things knowing that we are on the digital era. Let us enjoy the benefit of using cryptocurrency.

The only problem that I see here is that a lot of kids are exposed to gaming industry as well as cryptocurrencies and that might cause certain problems and addiction too.

The "gaming" industry has existed even before cryptocurrencies, so as for the issue of addiction, some people(the young and old)have always been game addicts, so it didn't just start now, nor is it due to cryptocurrency affiliation, it's in people's nature to be addicted to what they love doing and playing games is one of them.

However, gaming industry remains one of the best promotors of cryptocurrencies.

It's impossible to contest this statement, the two industries looks to blend seamless, people all over the world love to play games, advertising through that means is a perfect way of promulagating cryptocurrency.

[Ethereums]

i remember STEAM using bitcoin as payment 2 years ago, but after that, they closed it. However, in the following years, i hope there is game that not only crypto as their box payment but as a theme so crypto will be more known to people.
We need another set for crypto to rise as another economic factor. Besides these gaming industries been so long stuck up with this kind theme of the game.

[Sanugarid]

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.

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.

Indeed, there are lots of games as of now that is blockchain-based and this is actually awesome on some project. Making a game that can use cryptocurrency is good for those who are always playing games and they can use their own money to buy some equipment using crypto, it is making a transaction easy because there are games that is a hassle to top up.

Adopting cryptocurrency is such an awesome decision when the developers do some innovation to their game, they can earn a lot of money when that game is also a great game and also that can make crypto more famous all around the world when they really get involved with cryptocurrency. Accepting tokens in some top-ups is easy when they do that. Both developers and gamers are getting benefits with that because developers can gain bigger profit and gamers can buy stuff easily.

Blockchain becomes a trend now. Most esport games are trying to be related to a larger e payment system and more convenient. I think blockchain is the solution to it. As you can see, many developers are already building up these games and only those outside their realm will be interested to join forces. See how these huge companies are buying and become interested to blockchain.

It is not really a thing to worry about addiction and kids because the huge majority of these crypto gambling sites and casinos are legal and duly registered, thus compliant of the laws regarding addiction and age requirements.

I think he meant is gaming industry not crypto gambling sites. Cause the addiction in gaming industry of the kids are growing especially in the esport such as mobile legend and dota2. You cant expect them to stop now.

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.

The rewards for wining a game aren't going to be large. The largest reward feasible for a game would be a few thousand bucks in crypto to an e-sports team for winning a championship. And from there the size of the rewards drops rapidly. I suppose a normal player winning a match would get payed $1 or some other minuscule amount.

Games that reward you for playing already exist they just reward their own perks or virtual coins instead of crypto. That by itself motivates people to play so I don't imagine too many people playing games like that minecraft mod several hours a day just to milk a few bucks.

You're missing the big picture here. Kids won't care how much they earn or lose through the mod. Most Minecraft players are children and they're only playing it because it's fun.

This incentive to make children use cryptocurrencies is a great concept. By using cryptocurrencies from young ages, they grow up with its technology. It's both fun and learning, so why not?

Also, the e-sports championship rewards are much larger than "a few thousand bucks". One example is the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive ESL Championship where the teams fight for a final prize of a million bucks. That is worth something, isn't it?
