Bitcoin and Mobile Gaming

[yhiaali3]

Really great idea, mobile games have become very popular and enjoyable and it will be great to be able to pay or buy in the game through bitcoin, but I think this is difficult at the moment given that payment through bitcoin takes some time and the fees are high, if there is a widespread spread For the Bitcoin lighting network, so that immediate payment and fees are very low then this idea can be applied in practice. Then this idea can be very successful.

It would be so hard for each and every user of that certain game and for the owner of the game,

It will be hard not in terms of using but because everyone will find it too much in terms of fees and its volatility. Not every gamer has the experience towards bitcoin, for us(bitcoin users), it is okay on how it works but for an inexperienced user to see his money charged with higher fees than usual and the possible decrease in value of their money due to volatility, this is something they would never expect and wanted.

How do you think to use Bitcoin in mobile gaming? Buying and selling in-game items and services? I think other altcoin like Stellar, Litecoin or EOS will suit better. Mostly because of transaction speed and network fee. Mobile gaming and gaming in overall is about speed. Game session are usually short and a person makes a purchase, he prefers to get profit from it instantly, but not waiting minutes because of transaction confirmations.

on a kind of concept like this , bitcoin is usually the first coin that being indorsed before other cryptos . if btc became succesful , other coins could follow too along with btc . for now i never see a mobile game on the store that supports btc payments but i already heard one before in a pc platform . however many digital payment methods that arent related to cryptos are only  being supported on most popular mobile games  . we can still convert our cryptos to those digital payment methods then we can use it for purchase on the game

I don't imagine bitcoin as a mode of payment to do a transaction for mobile gaming. If you know about Steam, they are accepting bitcoin as payment to do transactions such as buying a game and top-ups for the game money. However, this was stopped immediately due to high fees.

I don't think you are getting the point here because the creator of this thread is starting to point out that we should relate bitcoin in mobile gaming, which is the new trend of gaming that most people are now playing in their mobile phones than playing in PC/console. That is why is there are any chances that more people will use bitcoin in their daily lives instead of using fiat currency in exchange of goods and services

From my point of view, this should be implented because in the middle of the pandemic, we should be avoiding physical contact to different people or known as social distancing. So with the help of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies it could people not make any physical in making transactions.

It's not about the bitcoin as mode of payment, it's all about the relation between bitcoin and mobile gaming. As the OP stated, bitcoin is the modern way while banks are the traditional, same with PC as traditional while mobile gaming are the modern.

So definitely, bitcoin as mode of payment in gaming platforms aren't related to this and most of us already knew about the steam.

Which aspect are you talking about? If you are talking about microtransactions for mobile games, I don't think it will work, at least yet. The mobile games economy depends a lot on the microtransaction but we all know that the transaction fee of Bitcoin is really high right now. Will you be willing to pay 3$ fee for a 0.5$ transaction in your game?
For now, the most obvious thing is the game distributors like Google Play or an independent company that works with Bitcoin and the game distributers to provide a great way to pay things in games.

It could happen, it is really more convenient to use Bitcoin to pay game credits, however, we should consider that most gamers are not yet aware of crypto. Also, if I were a gamer that is not familiar with crypto, I would rather use credit card to pay any fees or game credits via credit/debit card instead of bothering creating bitcoin wallet, buying btc, undergoing KYC and etc.

[spike420211]

This is extremely inconvenient.

In games with donat, we want a quick result if we pay for something, in the case of bitcoin, we will have to wait for the transaction to complete before we can get what we want, so why use something slow if there are already faster and more convenient options.

You will also have to integrate the Bitcoin wallet into the application of the game, which may well endanger the wallet if the application is vulnerable.

[darewaller]

Everyone will never agree with you. As a cryptocurrency community the movement is all about cryptocurrency taking over and replacing fiat (that is mainly what most of the people here believes). But that doesn’t mean you are not right, I still see the points in what you’re talking about.

For now, that’s how I see cryptocurrency, as another type of payment that anyone can use. There is PayPal and there is bank, but most of us don’t make use of banks to make payment when we are in a coffee shop, we use PayPal or any other payment apart from banks. Bank is like the mother source, and when the money in your PayPal finishes, you can fund through your bank account.

Quite hard to understand what you are trying to say, but based on some of the replied I guess you are comparing Mobile gambling with bitcoin and PC gaming with Bank. I mean,you are trying to say is both will exist and will be used in parallel. Yeah, maybe but in the future. It is true bitcoin can be used in comfort from any place, but is it totally ready?
Mobile gaming and PC gaming is actually working in harmony. You can now place computer games on your phone through different platform like stadia or geforce now. I guess we can also expect banks and cryptocurrencies to integrate. But just one problem, banks are centralized and coins like bitcoin are decentralized.

[Kakmakr]

A while back there was this mobile game where you absorbed other bubbles and the one with the biggest bubble in the end wins. You paid a few Satoshi to play the game and the winner took the other people's money. In the end a few players teamed up together and they won most of the matches.

Bitcoin and mobile gaming is already old news... we need something mind blowing next... Some 3D VR game or Xbox game that are monetized with Crypto currencies. 

[kawetsriyanto]

It is really possible, moreover, it is about technology. technology is always developing to make something easier and simpler to be used. As you know, cryptocurrency is something easier and simpler to be sued for any kind of payment. It is matched enough if it can be used as one of the transaction methods for mobile gaming. probably it can be applied on the world mobile gaming. However, the problem is about the fee. the users may be hard to make the payment with BTC because its fee transaction is high enough. Can it be solved?
Additionally, if it is about the digital payment, probably each mobile gaming in each country may prefer to use the bank digital currency or even the digital currency proved in the country. It may be easier and more affordable for the fees.

[Zionatin]

Cryptocurrency suites mobile gaming very well. Many of these games have in-game currency worth $$$ but can only be moved one way (deposited) not withdrawn. However, if it were crypto it would be possible to withdraw it. It would also be possible to gain in-game currency watching ads as you would do today but instead, you can keep the crypto so you will be in essence "paid to play" you could also tie in the crypto with advertising companies like Admob and allow users to buy and earn or trade crypto which can be used by advertisers in AdMob. It will create supply and demand since advertisers need it to advertise on AdMob.

As mobile gaming become start to become popular in the world of gaming.
I have this thought on my mind;

Can we relate Bitcoin with Mobile Gaming?

Just like Bitcoin; banks can be a traditional and Bitcoin becomes much easier and comfortable to use.

In mobile gaming; PC Desktop games/console games, etc can be traditional while games on mobile are the new trend where you can play comfortably anywhere with just your mobile phone.

Does it ring a bell?
It's kinda the use of Bitcoin is much comfortable since we just need a Bitcoin wallet and internet connection to make the transaction.
And in gaming: we just need a mobile phone where it is easy to access anytime and anywhere and play since you just need your mobile phone, no need to bring your console/PC desktop every time just to play.

I agree with your analysis and assumption because just like how bitcoin is positioned for the next generation of financial system, mobile games are redefining the gaming industry as more and more games are being made available for mobile devices and also, more powerful gaming mobile devices are being worked on

That could be possible to make happen in the future but as for now, what we certainly need first to have massive adaptation of Bitcoin usage so that we can be able to relate on using it into another platforms like mobile gaming.

But you have the point that both jive into the same device which both can be used at the same time. But as of the moment we cannot really just relate those two until we have massive adaptation bringing those two together which might be possible to happen in the future.

I'm actually a gamer and crypto enthusiasts too but these comparism is rather too far from each other. Truly, bitcoin provide ease of access and break the chain of intermediaries involved when using traditional money and at thesame time, mobile phones generally offers ease of use flexibility to users but it doesn't really offer comfort to all games

[Sadlife]

It would be beneficial for Bitcoin if the whole traditional system would be replace by Bitcoin. Then gamers, phone or Desktop could earn from it especially streamers.
Im fine right now for Bitcoin as an asset because micro and macro transaction is to early for Bitcoin at the moment.

It's definitely increased with regard to online gambling. I think that those people who would have normally used physical money to gamble are now choosing to use online services instead. Since the release of Megaways Slots https://www.bigtimegamingfreeplay.com/what-are-megaways-slots.html online play has surged. Savvy players don't want gambling transactions to appear on their bank statements, so playing with crypto and particularly bitcoin is the perfect way to get around it.

We're heading cashless anyway, like it or not. So we may as well get used to using other payment methods like bitcoin sooner or later.
