Will anonymous payment be popular? German mobile game manufacturers officially accept Bitcoin payments

Mobile game payment has always been an important part of the mobile game ecosystem. Players have a wide range of choices for game payment methods, from the earliest SMS payment to the current Alipay, QR code scanning payment, etc. Recently, the famous German game company Goodgame Studios took the lead in introducing Bitcoin, an anonymous payment method, in mobile games, and the era of anonymous payment for mobile games has officially begun.

It is understood that Goodgame Studios has released the famous web game "Empire". The mobile version of this web game, "Empire: Four Kingdoms War", has won the top spot on the best-selling list in many countries and entered the top 10 of the best-selling list in 91 countries. "Empire: Four Kingdoms War" has long been at the top of the best-selling list in Europe and North America, and currently has more than 45 million registered users. According to foreign media reports, Goodgame Studios added a new payment method this time to meet the needs of many players.

Similar to the current hot market of mobile games, Bitcoin is also a new favorite of Internet-based finance in recent years. Bitcoin is a P2P digital currency. It is not issued by a specific institution, but is "calculated" through complex algorithms. The characteristics of easy circulation, user anonymity, and natural market balance have also made Bitcoin increasingly popular in foreign markets, but there are not many users who actually use it in China.

As Bitcoin is difficult to regulate and lacks security, there are not many countries that officially recognize it. Using it as a national currency for mobile game payments is indeed a bold attempt. The exchange rate of one Bitcoin to RMB was once as high as 7,395 yuan. Players spending 1 Bitcoin is equivalent to a one-time recharge of 7,395 yuan? It seems that mobile game players who can pay with Bitcoin are all local tycoons.
