They really seem to "get" the benefits:

"As a company we hadn't really considered it until we spoke to Zann Kwan from Bitcoin Exchange and she highlighted the many benefits of us as a company accepting bitcoins, especially as a number of our projects are overseas," Fan said.

Using the digital currency could also lead to expansion of the firm's international customer base, since they won't face any exchange rate.

And the best part:

The studio doesn't plan to convert bitcoin payments into other currency either — it intends to keep them as an investment and use they when they can.

"As we would like to keep the bitcoins we shall not be using a merchant payment processor, unless of course we require working capital, however we foresee that we will build up our bitcoins and hopefully use these as a means of payment for business transactions in the future," Fan said.
