So does Blizzard accept BTC now?
I think one of the problem is fluctuation in currency exchange rate. Btc price is so unpredictable. They are in gaming business so definitely direct payment in fiat take off the fx risk
Need more people to buy bitcoin as a investment. Merchant normally sell them immediately.
Just tell them to get a Bitpay account so you pay in Bitcoin and they receive USD. Any business can understand USD Money even if they have never heard of Bitcoin. Or email Gyft to ask for them to offer Blizzard gift cards and pay with Bitcoin that way. Also if they could sell through gamestop you can use Bitcoin through the Gyft app for gamestop.
A lot of my clients are current employees of Blizzard, as well as the previous owner of Blizzard. I can reach out to a few of them and see if I can get the question in front of the right people 
Can you tell us who are you? What kind of job do you have? I can't post their names, but I am in real estate finance, so some of them were referred to me, and then I just started working one after another. I helped a lot of them finance their first homes. Their positions ranged from programmers, to managers, to HR.
I've got an underlying question - does your company accept bitcoin payments? If that has happened, great, I've got nothing more to add, but if they don't, and you can get them to, then those contacts at blizzard would have a real world example of 'how implementing bitcoin' could have benefitted them (they could of used it to finance their real estate investing through you)
My company unfortunately does not accept BTC. BTC hasn't really made its way to the home lending world yet. Most home purchases that have been done with BTC have been purchased in 100% BTC. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, nor other major investors, have not yet allowed BTC to be used as liquid assets.
I am trying to get it so that BTC can be used to purchase home appraisals (which range from $395-$650), depending on the value of your home, and how many units it is...
If I were a betting man, I'd imagine blizzard will take nxt before btc.
Just look at these two projects from the nxt world.
A horizontal processor development and mmog company

and
Decentralized Online Roleplaying Currency Studio
http://www.dorcsgames.com/
these could be future competitors using nxt blockchain technology and if they do well then more will follow

WoW gold was my first experience with digital currency. All the gold scammers i.e IGN have since moved on to bigger and better things i.e. Bitcoin.
Blizzard is going need a lot of convincing to take BTC knowing that all the scammers that leeched off them are now into BTC.

Definitely a good effort, it will be interesting to see if anyone higher up responds to you.

Yes, does there exist another thread about Blizzard's current state of mind on Bitcoin(yes, not 3 year old "news")? Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic.
I can buy candy, computers and hardware from a reputable store here in Sweden and I can buy indie games from Humble Bundle inc.
I think it's high time Blizzard starts accepting Bitcoin.
The items I was thinking about was more so equipment for your character, not their in-game mounts/pets or whatever else they've got now. I agree that testing BTC via ponies would be a good idea.
I never played WOW. Does it have ingame carrots?
Yes.
Wow, they're even stackable.

And Blizzard is going to take all of this risk because of credit card transaction fees? Beyond delusional.
I imagine that a lot of Blizzard's customers are kids who have decent graphics cards, and there's lots of them. Rather than get into all the trouble of dealing with washed/stolen funds in a currency that doesn't allow chargebacks, they could easily set up their own pool, sell BTC at the market rate to cover the cost of their games and stash a significant amount more as a future investment.They wouldn't even have to publicly deal in BTC or even admit that they were doing it, just offer game credits for GPU time.
