Well, the article was pretty cool.

Of course, expecting Blizzard, which is one of the most fossilised gaming companies, to embrace such a change, would be foolish.

A Virtual Weimar: Hyperinflation in a Video Game World

But in the last few months, various outposts in that world — Silver City and New Tristram, to name two — have borne more in common with real world places like Harare, Zimbabwe in 2007 or Berlin in 1923 than with Dante’s Inferno. A culmination of a series of unanticipated circumstances — and, finally, a most unfortunate programming bug — has over the last few weeks produced a new and unforeseen dimension of hellishness within Diablo 3: hyperinflation.


Bitcoin to the rescue?  Blizzard should take note.

With over 15 million players in just this game... it's a perfect fit for BTC and a way to break into the mainstream.
