I can't agree more.

Are there any great examples of IRC being used for the backend of a games chat system?

How would you envision using IRC in this case?

Would have been great to see RiotGames write their own custom framework to interface between their game and an IRC backend, open source it for other companies to contribute to and prevent further reinventing of the wheel.

Worms Armageddon and some other Worms games use IRC for lobby chat.

Pretty sure Eve did/does. Twitch does.
