Topic: What do you think about Bitcoin and the games industry? - page 6. (Read 2059 times)
The gaming industry has indeed become a fairly large one. the gaming industry and gambling, both of which are widely combined, currently the value of the volume is large enough that people are interested in using it. some serious projects will succeed but if they don't innovate it will be the same as others and fail
The cryptosphere is undergoing some significant changes recently. The blockchain world has brought us some incredible advances. Many project are developing and creating strategies through games that will serve as a hub for our daily activities to earn tokens by getting involve with it.
Maybe it's because of my lack of knowledge but i seriously can't think any of the idea how to use bitcoin or cryptocurrency in a game industry. Except for allowing users purchase game and items using bitcoin and cryptocurrency. But it's just normal because cryptocurrency and bitcoin is commonly used as payment. So nothing surprising anymore.
But reading the replies here i kinda get the idea and picture of it. Even someone inform some games. I never even thought about this before so thank you for writing this post, this makes me have larger view of bitcoin usage and stuffs.

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
With the given privacy from Bitcoin and the Blockchain many gamblers have fallen in love with the gaming industries and am a.living testimony as before now I wasn't interested in gambling but right now because of the privacy am kidda ready to gamble anytime without the fear of the government tracking. As time goes on, we are going to see more gamers into the industry and this will give room for.more adoption.
I think it will contribute to the price of bitcoin if we can use it on games like Fortnite, PUBG etc to buy skins and any upgrades for the game character. And also if we can use bitcoin to buy games for example in steam. Maybe in the future they will consider these as more and more people and establishments use bitcoin now.
The mobile space will not move to crypto in game as it would hurt Google and Apple's profit share of in app purchases. In fact the development agreements don't even allow sharing of in game currency/coins between 2 games. There have been a few ICOs that were successful and are working on making a crypto app store however the general public will be hesitant on allowing foreign apps on their smartphones.
The gambling industry has embraced crypto because banking regulations can be brutal for that space.
PC / browser games will probably be the best bet for crypto usage to come about. It won't be mainstream anytime soon.

There are games out there that is using blockchain technology.
As far as I know this is not a new thing. There is this game I've read about that while you are progressing in the game, you will be able to mine cryptocurrencies. That I think is the future of gaming and cryptocurrencies since the world is slowly shifting into that kind since games nowadays are being priced with a lot of money, in the future it will be a stable job for a lot of people not just the professionals.
I will play open source gambling games. China's welfare lottery organizers cheated, so I have not bought it. I will buy if there is an open source lottery.As far as I know this is not a new thing.

The open source blockchain planet, everyone can come in and dig the house for the planet, he does not need a server, run on the main chain, what the planet will be.
Blockchain painting, everyone draws up and draws what it will look like.
It is of no surprise that even in 2019 the gaming industry has not found its touch with Bitcoin or Crypto Currencies in general. There are many reasons for them not indulging into the crypto market though.
The crypto currency market is highly volatile. The prices fall and rise too often and that is dangerous for any business accepting them as a mode of payment.
Steam tried to give the crypto game a try but it badly failed because the transaction fees for Bitcoin rose from $0.20 to $20 in just a week.
Although all these factors hinder the gaming industry from including crypto into their systems, I am pretty sure something is being worked on to overcome this problem. After all, the world is now adopting the inevitable phenomenon that is Bitcoin and Crypto.

Blockchain is used quite successfully by some gaming platforms for monetization. Let's say some platforms love to create their own coin for the implementation of the store inside the game, and coins based on the blockchain can provide security
The best in-game integration that I have yet seen is with Enjin. They even have their own minecraft server. There already have been games launched where you can actually earn blockchain items that look beautiful on their wallet. They use an ethereum standard called as ERC-1155 which is different from ERC-20 and ERC-721 (that cryptokitties used).
They already have a bunch of games out including:
1. A dungeon crawler: Forgotten Artifacts
2. A space shooter MMORPG: Space Misfits
3. There is a crypto puzzle game with an in-game reward of 20 BTC, Age of Rust. The alpha isn't out yet i think. It started here at the forum years ago and I believe has grown really well.
4. A PVP RPG 9Lives Arena
I am a BTC believer when it comes to cryptocurrency. In gaming, I find Enjin really credible. If you have even a slight bit interest in gaming, I encourage you to try some of their games.
A bunch of small games with tiny playerbase is nothing, in fact it's a good example of blockchain/crypto hype pretending to disrupt or revolutionize something, while in reality it's just a small experiment that is irrelevant in grand scheme of things. No serious gaming studio is talking about blockchain, they understand that it brings nothing to them, gamers don't care about it and it won't help them make better games.
Apart from the ones i listed above, there are around 15 more games planned and under development. You are right that its a small number and everything related to blockchain is mostly considered hype.
Yet, for the Indie developers, this also promises a different mode of gaining traction as well as funding. The revenue model utilizing what they call blockchain "Game-assets" is also a novel approach. I hope not all people will write-off these small experiments so easily.
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
because of unstable price and fees and management decided to cross it out on the option which is sad since I'm a gamer using steam.
For now,we wont have any choice but to hope and observe on how these companies would consider btc into this industry.
Just remember, not everything is suitable to blockchain, at least not the type of distributed ledger like Bitcoin where everything is stored on blockhain. Imagine if I as a player and 100 other players played the whole day how would we find the data storage space to keep all our transactions (walking, playing items, killing, stats so many data!) and then how would we wait for blocks to be found before our transactions take place?
Blockchain is not necessary for everything!
Blockchain is not necessary for everything!
There seems to be some misunderstanding
If you want to keep all your actions in some storage to retrieve them later for whatever purpose (let's assume that), you would still need that storage and some software to manage the storage in a useful and easy way. In other words, you would need a database and a DBMS (which stands for a database management system, just in case).
And blockchain is a special variety of a database crafted specifically for resiliency and redundancy (a distributed database, to be exact). Indeed, you can go with a simple database and DBMS which handles it like SQLite, for example, but that doesn't mean you won't have to save all this data somewhere for future retrieval if that was your point
I think that first Bitcoin users were recruited from gamers. But that is only relation that I see between Bitcoin and gaming industry. Also, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are well accepted in gaming industry so that represents good promotion.
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.
Bitcoin is unlikely to be widely used in the global gaming industry. For this, fast, light and cheap coins such as Tron are used. There are a lot of different ICOs on the Tron platform, which are associated with the release of various tokens in the gaming industry. In my opinion, bitcoin is too expensive for this, and too slow in transactions.Some people have even been using bitcoin to bet, don’t forget that not everyone will be able to have their own cryptocurrency for their gaming site, but there is one that has already been established which is more popular and I think will be better and fast in making gaming transactions easy, so there is need for moist gaming sites despite that they have their own crypto, also encourage the use of bitcoin too on their site, this Is how bitcoin can gain wide recognition among the gaming industry.
They are not yet popular at this moment since blockchain and crypto in general are not that popular right now. Maybe in some countries, blockchain is popular but to use it in gaming industry is a different thing. I believe that it will be used in the future. More games that involves blockchain technology will arise in the future for sure.
I also think so, so currently blockchains are still under development and have not yet reached the point where the industrial world needs blockchainsbut blockchains will definitely be adopted by various industries, we only need to wait for time and blockchains will be adopted everywhere
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
as i know, for now it's only smaller companies have already incorporated Blockchain technologies and Alt coins in their games. maybe in the near future I am sure there will be a big gaming industry that adopts cryptocurrency for all gaming activities and needs. because for now the online gaming industry is experiencing rapid development that might be equated with cryptocurrency development.

Games have played a crucial role in everyone's life either as a way of entertainment or as a stress buster; Bitcoin rewards or crypto rewards is an emerging trend in the online gaming industry. Online gaming can be turned as an entry pass for Bitcoin to enter into the mainstream and for common people, the gaming industry can play a role of tutor to understand it while playing.
There is no serious relationship between Bitcoin and Gaming other than processing payments. Any other blockchain nonsense is just a useless innovation that may never fly nor be adopted.
As for Casino, Bitcoin has made the casino gambling more accessible and easy to play with peace of mind.

Maybe in the future there will be a crypto project related to the game. Of course, by creating a new altcoin and ecosystem for the utility in the purchase of game tokens, gamers will be easier to make purchases of paid content in the game. And if you see this opportunity, I'm sure there will be many Blockchain gaming projects going forward.
I guess you are missing out already, there are so many gaming industries that has applied the technology of blockchain to their gaming system and has also been using cryptocurrency, especially that of bitcoin and that of the ones they personally created through the ICO market, so there are really lots of gaming sites into cryptocurrency.
Recently, there was a record showing that cryptocurrency is moistly used in the gambling sector, and wonder why is used their most, and don’t forget that gambling is also a game, and gambling does not have to be played Physically alone, there has been gambling gaming sites and most of them has virtually shifted their attention to the use of crypto, as we can see casino crypto, even this guy TRON has also created one using crypto.
