if you mean like buy diamond (top up) with bitcoin or other crypto, who party that want to ensure this method? this is really good if playing game and we can transaction with cryptocurrent.
there are many game with basic crypto but its just a game, it dont give you coin as reward if you winning something

Maybe he is referring to the diamonds top ups , I can't see any game that offers a diamonds for an exchange in bitcoin, I hope that we can directly used bitcoin in our purchase so we don't need to convert it, because if we will convert it ,the amount will be lessen because of the fee. In this case bitcoin will be more attractive if and only if there is a game who will get this idea .

Mostly is in fiat then to diamond, maybe game industry didn't use new technology related to crypto for now because they are still studying on it before they make any move especially in using crypto as a payment but I do believe that in the long run game industry will be able to recognize crypto as a payment so that many people will be happy to play then they will be earning big profit on it.

Hey guys, I was wondering about Bitcoin, blockchain and cryptos in general and their relation to the games industry

We all know, people at my age (31 years) growed up playing games, surfing the internet and they are very close to technology in general

Games always have put new technologies to evolving the market, like: Internet to play multiplayer games, virtual reality and 3d to have a deeper experience, photorealism, payment inside app/game and etc

But until now, games industry didn't use any new technology related to cryptos

Do you think they will use?
And if yes, how they can use BTC, blockchain and cryptos in general?

The only and most obvious for me is use cryptos to pay games, in steam, psn, xbox live and etc, but I'd like to see your ideas guys

I think it will be better if game industry will real start to accept cryptocurrency in buying games or use it as an payment because it will be easy for us to make transactions without converting our cryptocurrency into fiat currency. I think game industry could also make an investment in cryptocurrency if they will start accepting it.

Bitcoin and game industry have connection each other how to build an easy way to purchase your needed using bitcoin as payment way, keep connecting bitcoin and game industry.

More also, the anonymity that Bitcoin has brought has promote more gamblers to gamble, knowing fully well that they are fully shielded by the anonymity of Bitcoin. As a gambler, i have never wanted to gamble on the traditional ways again, becasue of what happened to me. I was beaten black and blue to give up my winnings on Gambling; that i did gave them my won profits. But the advent of cryptocurrency, i can now bet anonymously and go home with my profits without anybody harassment.

I am waiting for online games MMORPG which can be played by any user and the main money is bitcoin!
I am sure that there will be a huge number of players to join the game.
You can loot satoshi instead of gold and the game doesn't need email but BTC address.

The most projects now are into gambling platforms, dice and sports betting.
I really hope they can come up with online games like Ragnarok and Mobius Online.

Bitcoin or cryptocurrency itself has nothing to offer to the gaming industry except one thing, bitcoin can ease the player's way of paying for in-game topups and recharge. Steam already implemented this but lately got removed. This is the only thing I can see cryptocurrency, in general, can bind with the gaming industry now

That's a big help since it can be use same as other payment process, by this way it can attract more people to come and start to embrace the industry, Bitcoin would be a good alternative for paying and transacting. If more developers from the gaming industry seen this and take advantage of every possible use. Things will be more interesting in the near future.

What's Steemit provided is just a part of the service. Cryptocurrencies have got lot many things to do with the games industry. In terms of buying games bitcoin is being accepted on several stores. Apart from this there were more games being added to the gambling websites that can be played betting with cryptocurrencies.

Right now there is not much of stores as well online service renders related to the gaming community integrated with bitcoin. Gambling industry is the one that is much advanced with the cryptocurrencies usage. Also those gambling sites were the one that contributed good to the circulation of bitcoin during the early days of bitcoin into usage.

This is incorrect really, using BTC to pay for "top-up" or game credits are actually probably the part of the gaming industry that needs the least amount of changes to be made.

The real innovation behind this would be using crypto-currency as money for most popular games, and then the currencies being transferrable from game to game, helping consumers and businesses. This could also work with setting up marketplaces where items can be traded from different games.

I think you are pertaining to the mainstream games such as dota 2, csgo, Apex Legends and much more. I think, the reason why these games aren't using cryptocurrency is because of the volatility of the market price of such cryptocurrency like bitcoin and ethereum. I that case, they will need a cryptocurrency expert to determine the price that they need to set whenever they wanted to start utilizing cryptos to their games.

Maybe he is, but I dont think those popular games will adopt to bitcoin as payment method for now, there are a lot of circumstances they must review to avoid any issues. Because if the volatility of the market, its also posible that the amount of crypto in the game may differ depends on the price of bitcoin.

it is really strange that gaming industry is very cautious in adopting crypto
I'm talking about the mainstream companies , so far they only ventured into the "you could pay for games in crypto "
G2A and MMOGA come to mind , but if Steam accepted crypto again , for example ....
https://www.extremetech.com/gaming/260106-valve-ends-bitcoin-experiment-will-no-longer-accept-payment
for some reason Valve found the experiment was a failure Sad

so far the games you can play are all gambling related or collectibles like Kitties
this is a huge market to explore , it is only a matter of time when a good blockbuster game about crypto is created

it is only a matter of time when a good blockbuster game about crypto is created

Yes I agree, but I see on thread that people have good arguments about the legality if BTC and another cryptos, the big companies do not want to have their brands linked to cryptos if this will cause any problem or any bad advertising fot them
And I agree with that, is a delicate subject

But I hope they found a good use to this technology

A game doesnt need to be related to crypto, the most awaited thing to happen is for bitcoin to be use as payment option through online games and in application games in cellphones. Games are the most popular on these days where top ups are very in demand. If even one game created and adopt to bitcoin, it will spread through the whole game industry.

Gaming industries will implement the blockchain technology soon because they will realize how amazing is the blockchain technology. The relation of bitcoin with the gaming industry is now getting stronger because I am seeing some of the websites where you can do top ups are now accepting bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a payment gateway.

I've read that Ripple was to merge Blockchain technology with video games with the cooperation of Fort. So, it has allocated a $100-million capital which is handled by Fort, a specialized firm in using Blockchain technology in the game industry. But I think bitcoin is unlikely to be widely used in the global gaming industry. I mean I can't imagine how to use bitcoin or cryptocurrency in a game industry except for purchasing game and items using cryptocurrency. Maybe it's because I am not good at understanding gaming industry properly.

I can see some example on how some games or gaming platforms will use cryptocurrency. As for games, they might use cryptocurrency as a way to pay for in-game purchases as a start. For gaming platforms, they might use it as a way of payment to buy games and such. There might be more uses to it but I think that will be the first step for adoptions in the game industry.

What you have mentioned or answered to your questions I think are the only ways we can incorporate bitcoin to gaming. Gaming do not have much offered to bitcoin, some gaming giants even drop it. Also, we have different kinds of games, ofcourse in offline games we can't do much about it. It could be just on the payment system but in other aspects, I think it is hard to incorporate bitcoin on it.

Most of the games ( especially mobile games ) has pay-to-win gaming system. I think Bitcoin can be added to games as a payment option. By doing that, there will be an increase in Bitcoin usage.

If we talk about online casinos, today cryptocurrency is very actively used and it is important to consider that there are leaders whose platforms are the most popular in the field of gambling, such as Tron, as well as Dash and EOS coins. But I am sure that if bitcoins are used in everyday life of a person, then undoubtedly bitcoins can be used for physical casinos too.

Well, I do think they would use in the near future, little by little. As if it for isn't as compact as it is for now. Sure thing, if the company has the interest with the flow on how crypto works, and if they got the nerves of carrying the risks behind the decisions.

They might use it as an investment I guess? Nothing more, nothing less. May be they would letting the money be in crypto value when the crypto price itself got sky-rocketted.
