I don't think bitcoin in the gaming industry should be looked upon in any way different than any other section. It's known that the game industry is
in fact large and that will bring in extra popularity on the side of bitcoin, but so do all others, so i dont really consider it of such importance, altho it is very welcomed.
Steam accepting bitcoin was a surprise and a handy thing, because i use it a lot, but the real section where i see bitcoin going a step forward is gambling and not gaming.

The one connection I would love to see that will never happen, is getting Blizzard Entertainment on board.
Just with World of Warcraft it would allow more fluid exchanges and create dynmics like PvP betting or player purchases. Have not played in years but know bitcoin could benefit, its just convincing Blizzard it would help their bottom line.
Gaming industry looks to go virtual as the next big step I believe and bitcoin needs to beat the front gate when that happens to solidify its self.

Bitcoin is a prefect match for virtual goods like video games. Good start but hopefully it will expand further into other areas in our day-to-day life, like F&B, gas station, etc...

Bitcoin is a perfect fit for MMOGs, because it provides a much more frictionless on-ramp gateway for purchases of in game currency. In addition, depending on the implementation it can also offer maximum transparency and security regarding ownership of game assets. There are already some independent games that use Bitcoin-based tokens as an in game currency. But I think these are only the earliest attempts of utilizing Bitcoin in this sector.

In future, I would expect big game projects joining the Bitcoin scene. The coming virtual worlds will be directly connected to the real one at the currency level. This will have positive growth effects for the MMOG market and Bitcoin alike.

ya.ya.yo!

Bitcoin for betting on video games makes a better match to me.
It is being tried out by several companys that are banking on it to be successful.

Yes bitcoins now have use for us gamers.Now we can but gift cards online via bitcoin.We can topup using bitcoins.Im thankful to have bitcoins and being a gamer,now i can outplayed other players.Because bitcoin is very popular thats why it is now can be use as a mode of payment on many online games out there.Very thankful

Bitcoin has grown rapidly in the videogame industry. But there are still some things to do, since there are already many online video game store that accepts Bitcoin. I hope the console manufactures (PlayStation, Nintendo, Xbox) will do the same later, because we not only need the game. We also need the consoles

Yup, Humblebundle does and so does IndieGala and DailyIndieGame. All great bundle stores/game stores and all very reliable.

i don't know about the other platforms but it is always good to see new businesses are accepting bitcoin too, it helps bitcoin to expand.

i only know about steam and have already used it to buy games from steam also they do it through bitpay and i believe the effect on the price will be seen very soon.
