When Microsoft and Sony start to make the treasues crypto we will reach a new level.
Are there any games that already do this ? I heard you can mine Reddcoin on Minecraft.
Sea of Thieves: http://business.financialpost.com/technology/gaming/will-rares-sea-of-thieves-be-the-new-exclusive-xbox-one-desperately-needs
..... Once you’ve claimed booty from one or more of the objectives – and assuming you don’t lose it to the cold sea or rival buccaneers – you can head to an outpost to sell off your treasures and purchase more challenging voyages or a variety of pirate-y duds, from peg legs to brass buckles. Then it starts all over again.
The truly bold thing about Sea of Thieves‘ design is the way in which it keeps its community whole. Downloadable content will be made available to everyone so as not to fracture players into groups of haves and have-nots. And character growth employs a horizontal levelling system, which in non-game designer speak means that one player’s character will never grow beyond another. A master pirate can be matched up with a rookie and they’ll both be evenly prepared to take on whatever they encounter.
At one point the game’s design director, Mike Chapman, led me through a glass tunnel from Rare’s main building into one of the studio’s four developer “barns,” where he showed me a screen displaying a cavern reminiscent of the pirate’s cave near the end of The Goonies, complete with waterfalls, shipwrecks, skeletons, and treasure. Chapman calls this location the “Hideout.” It’s not easy to find, but once you do it’ll become a new base of operations for you, providing access to “legendary” voyages that you can share with your crew, regardless of how experienced they are.
“I can imagine that the first person who finds the Hideout, maybe a couple of weeks after launch, will become almost a celebrity within the community,” says Chapman. “And then people will start sharing what it is and what you need to get there and it will slowly start spreading around the community.”
The possibility of obtaining this sort of prestige is part of what Rare hopes will drive people to keep playing for weeks, months, and even years. That, and the sense of shared adventure. Moments of companionship, teamwork, and humour that feel familiar to the real world but are enhanced by the imaginative possibilities of the game.
