Blizzard is only interested in profit. so a centralized inhouse currency is best for them. If you're interested in bitcoin related games go check https://www.deckbound.com/ or http://playshare.io/

Blizzard is interested in profit! Dah! And you are not? Or anybody else here? We all want to earn money, that is no secret. And these games you linked, well, these are games intended to appeal to total bitcoin nerds. They are not exactly blockbusters AAA titles we want to see, but with implemented bitcoins transactions in them...

If the AAA titles does not support BTC and a no-name Indy title with BTC incorporated becomes popular, the AAA titles will follow the money and also start to consider accepting BTC
You should not underestimate the power BTC has to disrupt the gaming scene ^LoL^

Indeed. Imagine if a game like Minecraft starts accepting Bitcoin. AAA titles don't matter anymore, it's all about quality indie content.

I think bitcoin should be considered as part of a trading currency and that doesn't have to confine itself solely into wow alone. What I think is great is having something like a marketplace on what blizzard implemented earlier when you can actually trade diablo 3 items and gold using real currency before they abolished it. That would see high demand and bitcoin getting introduced to gamers

Heck yes that would be super sweet to spend bitcoin in WoW and many other MMOs. It's just another example of the proliferation and development of the almighty bitcoin market. This is the cool thing about bicoin is how it can open doors to a whole new world of commerce.

Actually, just look at Second Life and how folks will sometimes convert Second Life Linders to BTC because it's one of the few ways to do so through Paypal.

Do the people actually coonvert Linders to BTC? I did not know that.... It would be great to have them adopt BTC and not having to jump through the PayPal loop to do it tho...

I think Blizzard should accept BTC on a wager system for multiplayer games in Starcraft. {They already have a good ranking system} They could also apply a minimum max bet.. eg. $0.50 per game...

A ingame tipping system will also help.... At the end of each game, if the other player played fair and there were no "nasty" comments... you could choose to tip him/her. {That would help to reduce the "rage" and "tantrum" outbreaks after the game ends}

All those games already have their own in-game currencies... They don't need a blockchain based cryptocurrency. Runescape has gold, World of Warcraft has gold, League of Legends has gold, etc. They all have individual in-game currencies. There's no point for them to use a blockchain cryptocurrency since they would need centralized control(Its just games guys).

Exactly. That was my point. Firstly they don't need another currency, secondly they can create their own. They usually have an in-game currency and lots of different tokens.
So it would be surprising if Blizzard became one of the earlier adopters.

I doubt that too. Leading companies like Blizzard or Valve are usually looking at revolutions with some distance. They will be watching and if some other smaller companies will adapt bitcoin and it will go nice for them. Then probably Blizzard in anticipation of increased income will adapt bitcoin overnight.

I know Blakecoin will be used in a new MMO that's in development right now. There's a few youtubes of it. Called BlakeZone right now but not sure what final name will be.

Yeah I would like to see it happen in gaming. Still don't think it will happen soon, but one of the major companies does it will be a domino effect.

Exactly. That's why it's better to already accept that it will happen very soon, because it will. Well, maybe not soon, but like you said it will be a domino effect.

I think that a lot of games will come with their own altcoin, because it's way easier to govern their economy that way. It's not smart to use bitcoin because that will mean loads of users will become rich/poor from one day to the other.

That is not true at all. I am not sure how can you say that using their own alt will be better? It won't be better at all. And imagine situation where every game with F2P model creates their own currency - only compatible with shop in said game and can't be used outside it at all. This one hell of a stupid idea.

How is it stupid? Blizzard could create BlizzCoin, valve could create ValveCoin or something to use in their F2P games like DOTA and TF2. It's not a stupid idea at all. Yes, for an end user to make profit from something like this would be hard, but that's not the point.

You say it's stupid but you don't give any reasons for it. That's not participating in a discussion, maku.

I doubt that Blizzard will accept Bitcoin anytime soon,

why? i know that they can do almost everything to get more money cant they? adding bitcoins to payment system would surely attract more users what would lead to the growth of finances. in my opinion they will do it soon enough

Of course we can be suprised by Blizzard as they could announce tomorrow that they will accept bitcoin processing out of the blue. But there is no indicators at all of them trying to embrace it. It would be great news for every crypto user but they might be afraid of huge leap like that. I guess they are waiting for other companies to make first step in that direction.

Why do you care? The number of wow players is declining, let's face it it's an old game and there's a lot of new, better MMOs out there.
Also Blizzard is greedy and likes to be in control of the game economy, but is not as Chinese farmers are selling gold in bulk as we speak.

I second you here wow is really looks outdated these days . They need to improve it should do their best to bring not only the existed player back but also catch new players with improvements.

Is this a discussion about World of Warcraft? Just wait for WoW 2.

Quote from: odolvlobo on March 15, 2015, 12:59:00 PM

You are complaining about WoW because you suck at PVP.

Do I see a player here?
Maybe he's into PVE. Anyhow, I doubt that Blizzard will accept Bitcoin anytime soon, but who knows. We've seen a lot of surprises when it comes to the adoption.
It really depends on the mindset of the people running the company.

first of all its still one of the best games it does not matter if its outdated or not. and secondly if they would let people buy stuff there for bitcoins there would be a lot more players in my opinion as new people who have bitcoins would try it out
