This would be amazing for the development of bitcoin. What better marketplace for a virtual currency than a virtual marketplace? Having players be able to earn a currency that could be eventually used for the purchase of real goods or services could possibly create huge interest in the game. In my opinion this would be absolute genius if Blizzard were to adopt bitcoin.
I did put a small paper together for Riot games, who uses an in game virtual currency for micro purchases (League of Legends). Of course I don't know anyone working there and just sent it to some black hole email address on the very minute possibility that someone should come across it.
Would it be possible to form a bitcoin "lobby" that would help inform game developers about the benefits of adopting bitcoin? This may help spread the labor out as putting together proposals can be time consuming. Outlining the the potential profits, the added interest, media buzz etc etc. I've thought for a while that an organized bitcoin advocacy group that could work with business and corporations could be a great addition to the bitcoin community.
Topic: Diablo III replace Real-money ah with BTC - page 3. (Read 4495 times)
So Diablo 3 is implementing a real-money auction house. Someone discuss with blizzard to replace with BTC ;p
Give me a well-written proposal and I'll pass it on. In this proposal, I'd like to see sites like bit-pay and btcinch mentioned, as they are great examples of BTC to USD processing.Do you know someone at Blizzard? Higher up or eng? I feel this will be a C-Level/board type decision, an agreement reached by both Activision and Blizzard.

Id like to see how they manage the bots/farmers in this game considering theyre basically making it legit to sell in game items (and they get a cut).
Will they not care since they're getting a taste of the $$ or will they get some warden2.0 going.
Bot protection in D2 is a joke..and even WoW has its fair share of Bots.
Would like to see a zero tolerance stance on this since there are microX...but I doubt that will happen
I'd imagine there will be an extreme zero-tolerance policy against third party addons.
But, from what it seems, the real money auction house in Diablo 3 is pretty cool in my opinion. Great way for Activision Blizzard to capitalize on item stores, which would have existed in D3, with or without them.

I'd also like the ability for gamers to spend their processing power to make Bitcoins mentioned as a main reason why they should support BTC.
