Cryptocurrencies and the GAMBLING industry can fit very well,but I'm not so sure about cryptocurrencies and the gaming industry.More than 10 years since the creation of Bitcoin and several years after most big altcoins were created,I can't see a game using cryptocurrencies to buy and sell virtual game items to be really popular and successful.Congratulations about the Minecraft server that uses BTC and let's hope that the Fortninte clone game will launch successfully,but those aren't original concepts.Copying Minecraft and Fortnite isn't enough.We have to come up with a unique crypto game concept that can't be exploited,with a virtual game item marketplace that can't get manipulated.
Yeah there are some games that adapting the idea of bitcoin, implementing the blockchain and even using cryptocurrency as their prize and rewards or method of payment but some of them are like a faucet instead of a game, but at least you can still enjoy while doing faucets, and mostly 8bit games there are also a lot of ICO, IEO projects that focuses in the gaming industry but we don't know maybe someday there will be a popular game that based on bitcoin.
Indeed, there are lots of games as of now that is blockchain-based and this is actually awesome on some project. Making a game that can use cryptocurrency is good for those who are always playing games and they can use their own money to buy some equipment using crypto, it is making a transaction easy because there are games that is a hassle to top up.
Gaming industry was among first that accepted cryptocurrencies. That is kind of natural and that was open support to new technologies and adoption of crypto. Since gamers are usualy younger generacijom that raised popularity of cryptocurrencies among young. The only problem that I see here is that a lot of kids are exposed to gaming industry as well as cryptocurrencies and that might cause certain problems and addiction too.
However, gaming industry remains one of the best promotors of cryptocurrencies.
Adopting cryptocurrency is such an awesome decision when the developers do some innovation to their game, they can earn a lot of money when that game is also a great game and also that can make crypto more famous all around the world when they really get involved with cryptocurrency. Accepting tokens in some top-ups is easy when they do that. Both developers and gamers are getting benefits with that because developers can gain bigger profit and gamers can buy stuff easily.
