Fits really well. Great actually.
With Paypal or other services that are alike, there are many problems and it includes privacy related.
More players don't want to have the trouble of signing up again and being pushed to give their details just so they could buy a premium item for their in game character.
I have played a lot of online games and I really hate that they changed the way premiums should be.
Before you just need to scratch a card and then input it at the game website.
Now, you will need another account for buying game premiums.
With bitcoin or other alts it could be prevented.
Better, they will know more on how to stash their money. I am in vote to maximize this.
Game developers should include this option.

It’s very good if the game is a game that is accepting Bitcoin as a payment method and using it as their own currency. Most of the games I see these days they don’t accept Bitcoin rather they have their own cryptocurrency or token that they use for that game, so it doesn’t make any sense.
There are already lots of cryptocurrencies and tokens in the market these days, so they should be making use of the ones we have, especially bitcoin, than creating more that will still end up not being useful. We should be more focused on getting people to accept the cryptocurrencies that are currently available to us.

Cryptocurrencies and the GAMBLING industry can fit very well,but I'm not so sure about cryptocurrencies and the gaming industry.More than 10 years since the creation of Bitcoin and several years after most big altcoins were created,I can't see a game using cryptocurrencies to buy and sell virtual game items to be really popular and successful.Congratulations about the Minecraft server that uses BTC and let's hope that the Fortninte clone game will launch successfully,but those aren't original concepts.Copying Minecraft and Fortnite isn't enough.We have to come up with a unique crypto game concept that can't be exploited,with a virtual game item marketplace that can't get manipulated.
I found the post by Asuspawer09 very informative. I agree with you that gambling and cryptos go together very well, but I don't think that's enough. Gambling has a big problem: it's stigmatized in society. While gamers can also suffer from addiction and it's a big deal, people see gambling more dangerous and unworthy. This means that while it's good for adoption, it might not be that good for reputation. Gaming, on the other hand, is neutral, because while some suggest that it's harmful, others say the opposite. Cloning games is not very good, but I believe that gaming and cryptos can go really well in the future because people often buy stuff in games, and cryptos are indeed convenient for that.I don't agree with that, but in some other way it still depends.
It depends on the person, some people uses cryptocurrency to be used in game is for their own enjoyment so not all gamers who tend to pay with cryptocurrency are addicted. For your information, using real money in the game is already adoption since it enters gaming platforms. As time goes by, the number of gamers are continuously multiplying and most of it are men. If men really want to excel at gaming, they will really try to do anything and spend a lot of money, that's when being addicted came in. But for me, I'd rather play games that is free-to-play and just spend my bitcoin cryptocurrency in a more important thing in everyday lives just like a practical person.
The gaming industry has seen great improvement with the introduction of cryptocurrencies. I remember in one of the games provided by Enjin coin gamers had the opportunity to complete several levels to earn enjin coin and within that same platform liquidate the Enjin coin to BTC and withdraw. I hope the games listed by OP allows users to withdraw their funds and spend.
Interestingly, I had never seen blockchain implementations within games that didn't have a gambling focus in some way or another - I'll have to try this minecraft implementation, though it kinda falls in the gambling network, I like this idea better though.
Any more ideas of games in the blockchain that uses the blockchain more like a database than a mean of security for gambles?

There's definitely a huge overlap between these two industries, the rapid surge of Dapp-based games that use cryptocurrencies to reward users and as an in-game currency clearly demonstrates this.
However, I think that we really need to see an AAA-title have some built-in blockchain element, maybe allow people to buy cryptocurrency in the game and spend it in the real world, or vice-versa.
I think that there is huge untapped potential here, most likely due to the regulatory uncertainty of cryptos, but these walls will come down eventually.
Blockchain and games are unique niches that have a strong market, when combined with the maximum it will definitely form a new niche that is stronger. By maximizing blockchain functionality in-game management, the use of cryptocurrency for various transactions such as purchasing items for these games, etc. will provide very good benefits.However, I think that we really need to see an AAA-title have some built-in blockchain element, maybe allow people to buy cryptocurrency in the game and spend it in the real world, or vice-versa.

And as you said, this hasn't been maximized because this is the beginning, I'm sure in the future blockchain and games will really be an extraordinary combination.

Same boat as you, but I already read the thread about the server in MC last 2 weeks, iirc. I don't think it is a good startup for people to adopt Bitcoin though, considering that if I was like the 12 year old me and I encountered that server, I would think that criminals from the dark web had invaded my game already as those were my first thoughts in Bitcoin back in the days. It isn't that hard to learn about Java Programming in making mods in Minecraft, so putting up work in making a basic crypto modifications in-game shouldn't be that hard as well. 
I'm waiting for an mmorpg game that have been fully developed by blockchain technology. I used to play mmorpg when I was young, now that I have been into cryptocurrency lately, I wanted to see these two collaborating. since gaming industry are also popular, I don't see any reason for them not to create such fantastic idea. I'm happy to see some developers are making these kinds of games, hopefuly the games I wanted to play will be available soon.
well now there are a number of mmorpg games that have begun to accept gold purchases using bitcoin ethereum and some altcoin because they work with third parties to be able to make transactions more easily from anywhere and do not have to use dollars or other fiat money because of cryptocurrency transactions will become easier.There are a lot of games created today and also the community of cryptocurrency today is widely increasing and that has a huge advantage because with the use of those both technology innovation we can now make some investment to make a project that supports the use of game developing and using the cryptocurrency to purchase some items and also it is better if there are some games that will use just to pay the users of cryptocurrency while playing so the users will enjoy the game at the same time they are earning too.

i remember STEAM using bitcoin as payment 2 years ago, but after that, they closed it. However, in the following years, i hope there is game that not only crypto as their box payment but as a theme so crypto will be more known to people.
We need another set for crypto to rise as another economic factor. Besides these gaming industries been so long stuck up with this kind theme of the game.

People keep thinking gamers will automatically be into Bitcoin -- but until they figure out that gamers actually care about gaming and not money, then we'll figure out how to make crypto a bit more suited to gamers.
See, as I said before, gamers will play and earn or keep stuff in Bitcoin or Playcoin or whatevercoin, they don't care, as long as they can use it and easily. Can't really do that for BTC at the moment. A tx in gamecoin is instant.
Now if you begin speaking to gamers about their pain points. For instance, like, if they buy that rare skin or super rare item, how many have been bought? How many did the devs really release into the wild? Non-fungible tokens should solve that problem, and you can even do it with Bitcoin, but they gotta understand that first. Stop calling it tokens for example;)

The rewards for wining a game aren't going to be large. The largest reward feasible for a game would be a few thousand bucks in crypto to an e-sports team for winning a championship. And from there the size of the rewards drops rapidly. I suppose a normal player winning a match would get payed $1 or some other minuscule amount.
Games that reward you for playing already exist they just reward their own perks or virtual coins instead of crypto. That by itself motivates people to play so I don't imagine too many people playing games like that minecraft mod several hours a day just to milk a few bucks.
You're missing the big picture here. Kids won't care how much they earn or lose through the mod. Most Minecraft players are children and they're only playing it because it's fun.Games that reward you for playing already exist they just reward their own perks or virtual coins instead of crypto. That by itself motivates people to play so I don't imagine too many people playing games like that minecraft mod several hours a day just to milk a few bucks.
This incentive to make children use cryptocurrencies is a great concept. By using cryptocurrencies from young ages, they grow up with its technology. It's both fun and learning, so why not?
Also, the e-sports championship rewards are much larger than "a few thousand bucks". One example is the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive ESL Championship where the teams fight for a final prize of a million bucks. That is worth something, isn't it?
I think a game where you can get Bitcoin or crypto by winning a match/session is generally a good idea. The user only needs to input their wallet address, play the game and then earn rewards.

Blockchain should have penetrated many areas of the gaming industry. Because, almost every day people play games. And I think the opportunity for the gaming industry is very high to enter.
I see my friends, can spend a lot of money just for games. Therefore I think with the Blockchain in the game, developers can add opportunities to get crypto more easily.

If this will be beneficial for game developers, and will be in demand, then perhaps we can see the opportunities for cryptocurrencies on a par with fiat.
Blockchain becomes a trend now. Most esport games are trying to be related to a larger e payment system and more convenient. I think blockchain is the solution to it. As you can see, many developers are already building up these games and only those outside their realm will be interested to join forces. See how these huge companies are buying and become interested to blockchain. It is not really a thing to worry about addiction and kids because the huge majority of these crypto gambling sites and casinos are legal and duly registered, thus compliant of the laws regarding addiction and age requirements.

Yeah there are some games that adapting the idea of bitcoin, implementing the blockchain and even using cryptocurrency as their prize and rewards or method of payment but some of them are like a faucet instead of a game, but at least you can still enjoy while doing faucets, and mostly 8bit games there are also a lot of ICO, IEO projects that focuses in the gaming industry but we don't know maybe someday there will be a popular game that based on bitcoin.
Gaming industry was among first that accepted cryptocurrencies. That is kind of natural and that was open support to new technologies and adoption of crypto. Since gamers are usualy younger generacijom that raised popularity of cryptocurrencies among young. The only problem that I see here is that a lot of kids are exposed to gaming industry as well as cryptocurrencies and that might cause certain problems and addiction too.
However, gaming industry remains one of the best promotors of cryptocurrencies.
Adopting cryptocurrency is such an awesome decision when the developers do some innovation to their game, they can earn a lot of money when that game is also a great game and also that can make crypto more famous all around the world when they really get involved with cryptocurrency. Accepting tokens in some top-ups is easy when they do that. Both developers and gamers are getting benefits with that because developers can gain bigger profit and gamers can buy stuff easily. However, gaming industry remains one of the best promotors of cryptocurrencies.

The "gaming" industry has existed even before cryptocurrencies, so as for the issue of addiction, some people(the young and old)have always been game addicts, so it didn't just start now, nor is it due to cryptocurrency affiliation, it's in people's nature to be addicted to what they love doing and playing games is one of them. However, gaming industry remains one of the best promotors of cryptocurrencies.
It's impossible to contest this statement, the two industries looks to blend seamless, people all over the world love to play games, advertising through that means is a perfect way of promulagating cryptocurrency. Jump to:
