Valve is about to accept bitcoin as their payment system

i might be mistaken but i always thought valve and steam are the same thing! isn't it like steam is for valve or valve is for steam?

Valve is a company, Steam is their product.

its a great news for every one that big companies in the world market are accepting bitcoin and hopefully same like war games, then steam and now Valve have accepted bitcoin as their payment system so very soon we can expect from other companies to recommend bitcoin as their payment system as well.

Good news that they are accepting it...what I would like to see is places accepting it and not turning into fiat, would rather have it flow to a btc wallet than a fiat bank.

it was the same news about steam, they are accepting bitcoin yes, but usually on other vendors i'm able to find at cheaper rate their game(penguin and g2a), so i don't think i'll buy from steam anyway

Well but you can't buy items from marketplace with bitcoin so far
When Bitcoin is released im gonna buy steam wallet with bitcoin and buy few csgo skins that i wanted
I've found a few skins marketplace for bitcoin but their prices are kinda more expansive than on steam was
So this news really excites me to buy as much as steam wallet i could

STEAM and VALVE is one company right? 2016 is a very good year for BTC, and if gamers adapted BTC to buy their games online the price will be going to the moon

yes but i'm not too much into skin and those item in-game with steam, i only care about the game itself

i must admit that sometimes there are new games that are not available on g2a and kinguin, so in those cases, steam with bitcoin is the only choice you have

Good on Valve/Steam if they eventually accept it. More payment options for customers is good for both them and the customer. And good for us as it increases awareness, especially when people realize it's utility.

So i was reading some news when this news catches my attention
http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2016-02/09/valve-accept-bitcoin-steam
What do you guys think of it ?
Funny how valve says they are never going to accept bitcoin in 2014
And it looks like they are using bitpay to mediate the transactions between them and customer

tl;dr
Some guy at reddt managed to find a hidden code during steam lunar new year sales
Here's the code to it

That would be sooooooooooooo coooooooooool!!!

That's all btc really need! A few huge companies starting to accept btc! Then adoption will know no limit!

it's nice to have valve accept bitcoin as payment system, but it's no big deal
because i still buy some steam wallet with BTC to USD from any web, and redeem it on my account
maybe i will learn how to use bitcoin for steam wallet when the time come
