Great news, gaming is a huge marketplace to get spending your BTC just checking the site, they have a ton of payment options, good to see the Bitcoin sticker up there when it gets added.

This makes for some interesting reading --> https://www.g2a.co/  .... I never realized they were that big. I have always said, the secret to unlocking the Bitcoin potential is in

the gaming market. This is quite a good move forward for us, if the exposure here can spill over to the Bitcoin scene.

The eSport and gaming market is huge and it's better than drugs and porn.  .... Hey, looking forward to seeing the BTC logo between all those other payment options.

This better not be a bait article or anything, if so that's pretty fucking awesome, it's about time Bitcoin started entering the gamer market, also, bye bye stupid European VAT tax hahahahahahahahahahhhhh!!!!

Steam is the one everyone is waiting for. I wonder whether they'll pull their finger out any time in the near future.

Gaming market can be another use case for Bitcoin so this is a great news. I am kind of surprised that we haven't seen more of the Bitcoin in the gaming market until now.

This is definitely a step in the good direction if Bitcoin will reach bigger adoption. I also think that gamers would get used to Bitcoin much easier than the other general public.

Steam is the one everyone is waiting for. I wonder whether they'll pull their finger out any time in the near future.

It would be absolutely huge if they did, but I doubt it Gabe just doesn't seem to care about Bitcoin, the biggest companies are always the slowest to adopt this kind of thing.

If they think they can get another bit of the market by offering Bitcoin payments, then they surely will adopt Bitcoin. If G2A seems to do good with their Bitcoin acceptance, then others in the game industry will follow. It's only a matter of time.

That's some great news. Gaming, gambling and porn are the industries where Bitcoin can have huge success in short to mid term period of time. Steam I would like to see next to accept it.
