nevermind, the community can grow bigger and help with the development of the game. It could be 3D in the future, for example. I'm starting to like these concepts. Instead of waiting for some games to adpot crypto currencies, let's integrate them into the game from the very beginning, make the game fun to play and the word will spread among people who like playing games (a lot of them).

also 3D games can be botted. just look at wow or diablo3, where a lot of bot software can be found...
just buy a few computers and let a bot program run and you have your 51% attack

edit:
don't understand me wrong, i also like the idea, but it has problems...
But are those games generated randomly?

To be honest, I've not yet tried the game behind Motocoin (since there seem to be no sources released for it for some reason).  But considering that it should be something with a quickly verifiable solution, I imagine that it is a bit like a "logic puzzle" (even though it is motorcycle-themed).  I can well imagine that this is not too hard to solve for a computer either by brute-force or with some dynamic programming technique.  But we'll see when the coin launches.
It's actually really hard because you don't rotate smoothly. You rotate at like 20 degree increments (obviously to keep the blockchain size low) you can only hold and release a button 60 times and it needs to be done in 60 seconds. So I don't see a bot coming out anytime soon.

It's not a motorcycle themed logic puzzle. You actually make the motorbike drive through a level to get the coin.
You spawn in at the top and need to get the coin at the bottom.
