Topic: What do you think about Bitcoin and the games industry? - page 5. (Read 1986 times)

Using bitcoin as payment gives you convenient. No means of using fiat to get what you want through internet. There are some game industry are accepting bitcoin as payment, most of the time are gambling games. It is much easier for everyone.

In regards to bitcoin's market value and lucrative potential, it would seemingly be alluring
to the gaming industry. It's simply a good payment option with a good market value, that
too can change if it spikes up for some reason. I think bitcoin and other altcoins are a
forthcoming player who has this bigger role to play in the gaming industry, gambling and
other sectors that involves money. That's the beauty with bitcoins, its's potentiality is
immensely wide.

Many people are grow together with games in their life. We all know that in the past years, there are a lot of famous games that actually get the highest rate not just only rate but percentage of income that they get because of the players that play the game. Together with the coming up of the internet connection, they develop online games that can communicate with the other people around thr globe. With this, we can put here the cryptos in a way that many games right now are needed some expenses for their own happiness. Game industry will adopt cryptos in their games someday.

There are games that represents how the bitcoin works. It gives the knowledge to all the users about the blockchain and cryptos. I think in the future they will use the bitcoin for payment and of course a way to give some knowledge about how the digital world works.

Yes, there are game developers adopting and using blockchain technology in the development of their projects. I recently participated on such project that focus on game development that aims to utilize blockchain technology thru game system items and services to its user using their platform. Gaming industry is huge, so it's very a good investment to those who are into gaming.

yes gamblers want fast and secure transaction with privacy and through crypto gambling will grow more

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

Nowadays there are many, many ways to win and collect Bitcoin currency, including applications and games such as free bitcoin cash There is also a shortening of links and completion of polls and taps that pay the wallet directly

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
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

Because payment by bitcoin is much simpler than using CC, debit, or paypal. not only the game industry but many online-based
industries are starting to partner with bitcoin for payment. in industry 4.0 and above bitcoin will be king in terms of payment.

I think they thought about it but there are some problems with it.

The first thing I can remember here is Steam when they accepted Bitcoin as a payment method. Some players are happy about it since they will be able to pay using their BTCs but the thing is that there are a lot of videos teaching people how to get a paid game for free in Steam using Bitcoin payment, one of the reasons they remove the payment method.

The idea is good but I think the correlation between the two is low. It's possible to use crypto as a way of payment in a game but since most people still don't have an idea about it, game developers maybe haven't thought of it as an option. Also, I don't think people would pay in games using crypto.

Other than for payment, I think bitcoin (Blockchain technology) can be used to overcome the game piracy problem. we know the problem at this time there are many pirated games that can be downloaded for free on the internet, and this is very detrimental to game developers and distributors.

the current system is too easy to hack, if using blockchain I'm sure this kind of problem can be overcome.

one product key/activation key/private key for one device. and all stored in the blockchain network, isn't that great?

There is no matter of wonder,  about the relation between Bitcoin and the games industry. I've already seen their are a lot of  games industry who allows bitcoin as their payment method especially for casinos.
Morever they can have their won coin/token as their payment method. blockchain & others maybe possible in future Csuse I belive technology will have much more advanced than now

Who said so, I think that the gaming industry are even the ones that has accepted the use of cryptocurrency more than every other industries we have there, let me mention some of the big games to you, such as BMI Gaming, dice, craps, keno, video poker, roulette and many more, they all play these game in bitcoin now, so they are gradually expanding, they might still be few but their number still corresponding with the level of acceptance of bitcoin generally.

The more the adoption of bitcoin grows, the more some of these gaming industries will also start to adopt the use of bitcoin for their game too, so we should just look at the future, majority of them have plans for it, but they are just trying to watch as things takes its shape in crypto generally.

I've always thought they'd be perfect fits for each other, but it's hard for other people to understand my views when there's been so much controversy in the gaming industry related to cryptocurrency. Take a look at a fairly old scandal where the popular gaming client ESEA (hosted professional lobbies for CSGO players) when they injected malware on thousands of PC's and secretly mined cryptocurrency for 48 hours. Link here - https://www.hltv.org/news/10629/esea-caught-in-bitcoin-scam.

One of the best ways for the 2 industries to work together would be in marketplaces, and it makes me very happy to see companies like Opensea, Enjin, and others try and take advantage of these features. A good example to relate this to, would be the CSGO trading scene, which faced a range of issues and now have 7 day trade holds from a freshly traded item, if you could these items in a decentralized P2P network, which had items from other games, an instant-sale option, it'll be great. Sadly, companies like Opensea are unable to link together all the popular games, due to their restrictions and unwillingness of decentralization from big companies like Valve.

There are not really many advancements one can make now, we need to wait for large developers to start incorporating blockchain technology in their games, sorta like banks currently. Ball's in their court.

There are many games where you can win cryptocurrencies
There are also many sites and roads online
As an example of Earncrypto, you can get cryptocurrencies for things you already do online.  By playing, watching entertaining videos, completing surveys, referring your friends, and more you will be able to earn any digital coin you are intended to collect

I used it to buy a few games on Steam until the idiots of Valve broke their association with Bitpay and did not bother with replacing that with anything else. But yes, that would be the first "obvious" use.

The not so obvious, but i have proposed it before, is ingame money. Instead of creating imaginary money, you could actually use some real crypto inside. The game would need to be designed carefully so that this money cannot unbalance it, but perhaps do the usual time vs speed divide from: Players with little time but lots of money, vs players with lots of time but little money, that some games attempt to cater these days.

gamer and gamblers will use what will be easy and secure and which gives good privacy and bitcoin and crypto is made for them good , bitcoin is growing huge in games industry

If they intended using, the blockchain technology will be their best choice.
Hopefully, it will bring about transparency in the gambling sectors.
It will possibly reduce script manipulation and promote provably of casino developers and their sites. These issues has mostly been the shortcomings of some gambling sites
