Ok, since this got bumped:
anonplay: Bitcoin has just gone over $9000 per coin. It has tripled in value in the few months since the last post, meaning Bitcoin owners as a group have gained tens of billions of dollars to be spent/unloaded somewhere; some of that can go into video games.
If GOG will not accept it, it'd just go to Steam/Humble Bundle/etc.
Why not start working with a payment processor to accept Bitcoin ASAP?
No! Wrong! If people expect bitcoin to rise in price, they
won't be spending it!
Seriously, this is so wrong my head hurts. No one with at least half a brain* would pay 0.001 coins for a game if they think they could buy two games for the same price tomorrow and 25 games the day after. "Bad (as in, inflationary) money drives out good."
*(then again, this is bitcoin fans we're talking about, so, maybe?)
Everyone else @ thread:
the type of bitcoin payment processing relatively sane people are suggesting involve offering prices in normal currencies and the payment processor disbursing the proper amount of revenue in a normal currency to the seller. From the pov of the seller, nothing changes except they have to make a deal with a financially unsound organization that might go belly up at some point and not make that final disbursement. I don't think the OP was suggesting GOG should "pivot" to batshit bubble speculation, make a bitcoin account and sell games for tokens. So if you can find a processor that would take your monopoly money / WoW gold / galactic credits and pay GOG in USD, go ahead and advocate for it.
