I need your opinion about having bitcoin for payments in online games, it is good or nah?

Using bitcoin as payments for in-game items and upgrades is very useful since many people are capable of technology devices though bitcoin and online games are done by computers.

I thinks its very efficient for me as a gamer and a bitcoin user to have a transaction or payment like that.

A good feature it is. It will be a great help for gamer like me that do not have access in credit card and other traditional payment methods. Well Steam already put bitcoin on their payment methods which is what I use when I buy games. So yeah, I wish other gaming platform would also put bitcoin on their payment methods.

In my opinion, it would be very convenient if the online games were accepted by the bitcoins.

Ok so here is the issue with using bitcoin to pay for online gaming. My wife has been doing so called experiment of sorts if you want to say. She has been using a bitcoin card to pay for her $16.00 monthly subscription. Six months later what should have been $96.00 in cash has costed her like $2000.00 LOL so i would say only do it if you really must.

Currently it's not advisable especially due to the huge transaction fees and so for me i wouldn't refrain from using my bitcoins online for games and other such things that i can easily use my debit card for. It's still soaring up and i wouldn't want to loose out in any way and so i prefer to keep than spend currently.

Bitcoin has already been payment for online games for quite some time. However I do not recommend you spend your bitcoins as one day they will be worth a whole lot more.

I agree, payment thru bitcoin in online games is nice and convenient to all gamers but in my case, i am not using my bitcoin for my wants but instead i use it for my daily needs. I am now a very practical person when it comes to my income and need to verify if i really need it before i purchase some goods.

I have yet to use bitcoin as payment for online games, but it's very suitable since they are both online based, all I know is online websites uses paypal and credit card because of the charge back in case there's a complaint, I don't know if it is possible with Bitcoin.

I will be the odd one that says NO at this stage. In a game you want to do instant transactions. < no waiting > Bitcoin cannot offer you that at the moment.

I kinda agree with this one. People who play games especially pay to win games cannot afford to wait longer to get their's item. They want to get ahead of the other fast. In that sense with the slow of how the transaction of bitcoin is, it's not practicable enough, Maybe some alt's who dealing with game like GAME or even DGB can step up to this problem, but that's another problem with bitcoin still not getting mainstream attention, yet.

I only spend Bitcoin because it is how I use and spend money now. I don't really use fiat. Steam has accepted bitcoin for a long time. I hope blizzard will too. I don't care if EA do or not because they the devil and dont need my money. Humble bundle claim to accept Bitcoin but I've never spoken to anyone who has used Bitcoin with them and I tried myself and the option was not available.

It's good to have Bitcoins as a payment option. But only as an option. Fiat should still be present as Bitcoin is not the only world's №1 currency.

What's the point of paying in game items and upgrades with bitcoin? I understand you as a gamer (I am also playing online games and I feel the urgent need of upgrading your account or your character esp. when the battle comes), but wasting money for nothing? I don't think bitcoin is an ideal way of paying in-game items. Bitcoin is so volatile that it can rise up or fall down anytime. Once that happens and online games accepts BTC as payment, there will be problems in transactions, unless regular updates is done by the developers. And I am sure that you don't want any updates to happen once or twice a week.

You will also need extra amount of BTC whenever you make transactions with BTC since there's what we call transaction fees so miners will prioritize your transaction. I think there's a separate currency for gamers that can be used in buying in-game items and upgrades.

Some games can be brought by a bitcoin, like steam .Steam is already accepting bitcoin as a payment and steam or valve corporation is huge video gaming company that are providing this kind of service. I’m sure that other big gaming company are now studying this kind of process.

As i know steam is already providing this service, where you can purchase any game with bitcoins, sure for others games that does allow to buy a boost in the game would be good to see the option to pay with bitcoin. The games wich will follow such, will only benefict from bitcoin potencial, a lot people selling host last year were able to see bitcoin grow into 4-5x its value. Soo this a great moment to accept and work with bitcoin, we arent near to reach the full potencial of bitcoin.

Bitcoin as a payment in online games i think its a good idea. Just like steam now they already approve the use of bitcoin to buy in-game items. People will became much more at ease at buying in-game items because sometime buying in-game items using cash always has a risk. I am not saying that using BTC has also no risk but there is much more risk in actual cash. So if you want to buy in-game items using Bitcoin just buy it.

For me it is good because Valve has partnered with Bitcoin payment service Bitpay to bring everyone's favorite cryptocurrency to games platform Steam. Bitpay says it was approached by the company because it wanted to internationalize its operation, making it easier for Steam users in emerging markets to to buy games without using a credit card.
