Steam has intergrated a Bitcoin payout system; meaning you can buy their games and software from the Steam store; its not only limited to the store but you can also buy ingame items as well; like for example you can buy a chroma 2 case key for Counter Strike using Bitcoins.

it would be a great leap forward if it does happen, i doubt it will anytime soon.  Steam has been great accepting bitcoin and i have purchased a few games with bitcoin there now

i believe that soon all the places that are currently accepting money online as in selling something with accepting credit cards, paypal,... will soon start to realize how much better using bitcoin is and they will switch to using bitcoin soon.

The prospects for Bitcoin to become the leading in-game currency are very good. Especially for MMORGs, implementing Bitcoin could significantly boost overall trading activity and in turn revenues for the game developers. The reason is that the on-ramp and off-ramp transfer of funds becomes a seamless process. Entry barriers for game investments by casual players will be greatly reduced and funds will be available much faster.

Of course, most games will still have a different name for their in-game currency for atmospheric reasons, but Bitcoin will be the underlying base. The transformation to Bitcoin will not happen overnight though - I think we will first see multiple payment options with Bitcoin being one of them.

ya.ya.yo!

Yeah i think it will happen in the future we are already have steam and garena shells here in my country and i think bitcoin will be use too in other online games like mmorpg like pinoytalisman.. and i think if all those online games are accepted bitcoin i think it can affect the value of bitcoin..

AFAIK bitcoin will easier any transaction including online game since they all need internet and people need comfort so they are match combination.
Let see for some example : most people will change their CC into bitcoin because they are cheaper !

I am one of the biggest supporters for that and I approach these game developers frequently via email requests and also gaming forums to incorporate Bitcoin into online games. The problem seems to

be uncertainty about the legality to use Bitcoin as a currency. Some game developers circumvent that, by creating their own "token" systems and this in turn being bought and sold by legal fiat currency.

I will keep on trying, but it will be much better if this was done collectively or done by third party service providers, for example Coinbase. They can pitch the direct conversion from Bitcoin to fiat much

better. 

Yea I want to buy games with bitcoin.Why not?I dont want create paypal wallet and d some stupid verifications .I dont like stupid paypal ans their support and I eve dont like perfectmoney they just froze my money without reason and I also dont like solidtrustpay because i need so many verifications.I like only skrill,and cryptocurrencies.

I have been actively searching for years for a real cash economy game that actually exists, besides Project Calypso. For the currency to be bitcoin would be icing on the cake. Afterworld was awesome while it lasted, but ultimately failed; none of these projects seem to actually make it to fruit. I myself would love to get together with some forum guys and make a MUD (text based mmorg) with a bitcoin economy, but I can't code for shit, only have world building/ game mechanics ideas.

But I think the legal aspect of this (game would essentially being a bank) is why we don't see more of these. Too easy to launder money through a platform like this, or steal massive amounts of value through hacking or fraud.
My second post was deleted, but I can only assume that's because it was a second post, and not because of the content. Reposting here because I spent time typing my opinion and wish to share it:

But, if any of you guys are down for the commitment of making a MUD, and we can get the right guys on board from enough disciplines, I would certainly dedicate some resources towards making something like this a reality.  I've thought about this, losing the graphical client would make for a much easier project, something more accessible to more markets (players) with lower spec'd systems. Probably a science fiction setting if bitcoin were integrated directly, but fantasy environments would work (the concept of magic doesn't jive well in a real world economy, shooting deadly fireballs for little to no effort with no energy expenditure or cost doesn't reflect real world entropy).

It is a challenge building a sustainable real world economy as well, adjusting the Eco to your game mechanics as well as changing player interests and a shifting real world market. Typing it out, I truly understand why I have been searching so long for something like this in vain.

yeah thats one of the problem and bitcoin is also scarce but i hope there will be someone counter this bot
