So i have this idea where SN gets a new sub called "warmane" its a bit of a master plan, but since i play on and off on that server which is a wow private server i would like to start sharing memes and experiences and so on related to the server. ive been unsuccesully trying to get them to adopt Bitcoin payment option since in my opinion its a no brainer. They are already operating in a gray area and they use BitTorrent to distribute the client. And their audience is international. You have russians, ukranians, chinese, US, EU, balkan, etc. playing on the server and its full every night. Over 12,000 people online. Anyway im rambling now. Looking forward to potential user created subs as they can create a backdoor for bitcoin adoption as i share links to stacker.news on for example warmane discord. It will not be spam, it will be legitimate linking to stuff, but im not on reddit or twitter much anymore. So thats all. User created subs can accelerate SN growth and BTC growth imo if thats interesting to anyone.
wow is p2w, which I personally don't like at all... A private server probably makes it even more p2w especially when introducing bitcoin.
Or do you have any thoughts on how "bitcoin fixes this"?
But yes... Happy to follow and discuss this on SN or Nostr... I think we need "non-bitcoin" related topic for adoption.

Pay 2 win is a common criticism on warmane but its actually "pay to catch up" since the server has been around for about 10 years. And if you want to pay to catch up, thats on you, other people play the game for getting the stuff "legitimately" in any case it doesent hurt anyone if someone buys some gear instead of farming it for lack of a better term imo. Warmane has struck a nice balance. And also the server is free for everyone except they get into a queue when it reaches 12,000 players online, premium member do not afaik so thats another plus with their model you can argue.

I like the idea of talking about non-bitcoin, non-nostr related stuff on "bitcoinized" social media.

Man, i wish I could pay for my games with bitcoin. Steam supported it for a while, but stupidly accepted 0conf then shut it down due to "fraud"
