How MMO and E-Sport games can make Blockchain mainstream and why DASH would soar

in #gaming8 years ago

I've been very interested in seeing Cryptocurrency adapted in the Electronic Entertainment and E-Sports scene. Gamers (especially PC) are generally more tech savvy and much willing to incorporate blockchain tech into their lives. There is already Gamecredits and MobileGo and though I wish them good luck and mildly optimistic about them, we have still more to go.

Blockchain still haven't received any mass adoption and best way to penetrate the market is through existing states of affairs. Here is when DASH comes in. To be more precise; InstantSend. DASH is currently the best Cash alternative there is. Period. Anybody who say otherwise is either a time traveler or just a plain ignorant idiot.

With the ability to transfer money in 1.3 seconds existing video games can simply add DASH as a payment option. I'm not a programmer. But I do know a thing or two about gaming and cryptocurrency.

What suggest is to implement the fund transferring system of exchanges like Kraken (or even more refined version) into games like CS:GO, DOTA2, LOL, Crossfire, Team Fortress etc. And also popular MMO like WoW, Final Fantasy XIV. This is the easiest way to capture and enter the gaming market in my opinion. You have to convince a dev/publisher to add this feature and that convincing part will be the only difficult part.

A smaller dev like CCP games with games like EVE ONLINE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_Online) will be easier to convince. I suggest you look into them. They have small but very loyal fanbase and the MMO is known for it's difficulty curve. Only resistence that could come up is from BTC,XMR advocates.

There are also some smaller fish that DASH can set their eyes on like Black Desert Online (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Desert_Online) and the whole bunch of NCsoft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCsoft) games. This strategy is like having a bunch of merchandise released or having songs released as in Indian which are known to be able to make or break movies. I'm not kidding, it's true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollywood#Bollywood_song_and_dance

Some might be wondering why I'm so stuck with DASH. For them I say DASH can already- I repeat - already replace VISA, MasterCard and the likes with added privacy features that are the current best in the blockchain space. No other coin has this advantage. STEEM has it's social media advantage which I readily and highly recommend for a gaming integration in the likes of Kongregate and ArmorGames. But for the bigger players and competitive play that involve monetary rewards, DASH is the best at the moment and will be for some more time. https://www.dash.org/evolution/

You can also set your eyes on asset marketplaces like the one for Unreal Engine 4. Devs who get to know Dash will be more likely to implement it into their games. Even if nothing gives good results, you'd at least get publicity,Brand awareness and though I'm not a programmer I consider the implementation part would be a difficult one at all.

Slow and steady but disruptive is the safe and easy way to go.
