OP you are genius.  Great freakin idea.

sarcasm? I don't know if those ideas existed long before, iam new here and had a little look inside the gumbling-section - did not find anything ... I think, making btc the game-currency would be a big step, and it would be more than making btc a real-world-payment-system like all this other payment systems. I asked my girlfriend yesterday, if she would be interested in paying with btc, and she said: why? It's already to easy to waste money via online-shopping. But if the btc gives you access to a world of gaming - yea!

MMORPGs will not open an "escape" like transfer money to another MMORPG, that's the whole point of MMORPGs, isn't it?
They want to lock you in every possible way and I am sure some people keep playing/paying because they don't want to lose their PGs/STATs

This is a great point! We need to understand the reality: MMORPGs are just traps for their players. They cannot allow you to cash out your money!

MMORPGs - what does this mean? Does anybody really pay for in-game-money they could not export? Isn't it a scam factually?


Search on Google for MMORPG and MMO in general, best example in my opinion is World of Warcraft.
Yes, people buy virtual money to use for their favorite MMORPG, I mean, why not?
Instead of farming gold/items and spend hours of hours searching for something I can drop with 0.1% probability, I can just buy gold and then buy it from somebody else. It's absolutely NOT a scam.

If they create a MMORPG where you can use satoshis, well, that's a different story!
Something like TF2 would work very well if players already hold satoshis
