Gaming , having fun and making money
This is an idea that has stuck with me in the past couple of days and I thought to put it out here since I know I may not be able to do much about it but maybe, someone out there can create something with it.
I remember growing up without video games, only hand held games (with only one game like Brick layer in it) were available back then. There was nothing like online gaming because the internet was still very young. Parents were always scolding their kids for playing video games all the time because it seem like adding no positive value.
However, today, the story is different, video games are everywhere and though many in the developing countires, might not still have access to the high end games, especially in the online world, the western world enjoys it and has so much potential to create a wealth of income with the growing acceptance of cyptocurrency.
The cryptocurrency Gamecredits is one of such that is completely change the way games are played and what they can be used for. Steem and other cryptocurrecy can be used for the purpose of in game betting and reward also.
Traditionaly, Video Game companies sell their games offline or online to individuals, who play them offline or online without any further necessary services other than in Game purchases for the purpose of playing the game alone.
• What if one can create games where people play and actually earn money instead of just points using Game or Steem? There obviously may be some out there anyway.
• You know those games where people play and collect coins, what if you are actually collecting Game coins which can actually be exchanged for Game or Steem
• Where will these cypto come from? People pay for games or rent games, that’s a source
• How about online multi-player games, where people compete in teams or against each other, they can pay a small token to sign on to play a completion and on completion, the winner or winners takes a percentage of the total proceed in Steem Or Gamecredit.
There is so much that can be done with Game and Steem if well thought out and applied to help people everywhere in the world.
Just my thought

I look forward to gaming involving more education. Would be cool to play a game which pays you, and also teaches you.
Imagine an rpg where you end up in Japan (but don't know any Japanese) and have to fight Yakuza Mob bosses and solve a mystery or something. You start the game with a translator who helps you, and as you progress your training wheels are taken away.
Games could make learning so fun, you wouldn't even know you are learning.
I played an online game years back which was designed as propoganda for the US army. I think it was called America's Army. If you wanted to play as a medic you had to attend a lecture (in the game) and pass a test on how to respond and what to do in different medical situations.
Hopefully life will become a game. I've used urinals before where you use your pee like a mouse cursor on a virtual screen you pee on. There was shooting games, skiing, etc. It was cool but unfortunately pees only last so long.
Would be cool to play a game which pays you, and also teaches you. - I agree!
That would be a great game and it can be made possible using cryptocurrecy. I wish i knew how to develop games, i would gladly develop educational games that pays its players also. Learning while playing and having fun should be the best way to learn.
Upvoted and followed, nice content :)
Thanks, upvoted and followed you too
Nice idea but some proects are already focusing on this (Digibyte, Peerplays, Wager etc.)
Yes, but it is still an open market and there is so much room for more people to get on board.
