I think it's just a matter of time before Steam is accepting Bitcoin as payment method. Gamers are quite techie, and giving them the option to pay in Bitcoin makes perfectly sense.

Steam recoginze true power of btc, it was just a question of time when will big platforms start to accept btc. We are moving foward. I think this will be great for many people who dont like pay pal and some other mastercard shit. Im ready to buy some games when they let us buy game with btc..

Yea! About time Steam to go BTC. Majority of the gamer market are kids who dont have paypal or mastercard readily available for them. Now it would be easier for them to purchase from Steam. GJ Steam, nicely done.

wow, i can't believe my eyes. i was waiting for this moment for a couple of years now. i am going to be one of the first people who use it in steam. specially since i have been playing Dota2 i always wanted to buy those items with bitcoin.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip. Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

My thoughts exactly. Maybe it'd turn out like Half Life 3.

I have since heard anything frankly. But if that is true then goes steampunk really earn much money I guess. Because I think a lot of people wanted.

this is such a big news if it actually happens. because i don't see any change in steam stores yet.
but if steam starts accepting bitcoin then it is going to introduce a large number of people to bitcoin which is going to increase the price to the sky.

That's really paradoxically that they are doing this only now. I mean gamers are considered the most technically advanced people, just like bitcoin users, so overlap is obvious

It makes a lot of sense for steam to take bitcoin. Many gamers are young and un-banked. They also must be swamped with paperwork dealing with all the currencies in use around the world.

I remember I was really pissed off at Gabe Newel for still ignoring Bitcoin in Steam, when it would be such a natural thing to do to accept Bitcoin in Steam since buying with credit cards is a pain in the ass (you have to put money in the credit card, then you have to log in to your bank account page which is a mess, you have to enter the security pass in your physical card that is random each time, then you need to confirm with your phone, and you need to do this all faster than your bank logs you off because you take too much time in the webpage and as a security measure it auto logs you off after X time... it's just terrible). Now with Bitcoin, it would take seconds.
I hope this is true this time and we can be buying games soon with Bitcoin officially through steam.

there is g2a, that accept bitcoin, and they basically have almost every game from steam and gog, desura and many other
so even if steam do not want to accept it, i see no problem
Amph, I think the big difference is Steam has a much bigger user base and it pose a huge opportunity for us to get much bigger acceptance. I guess they figured other sites like http://steamgamesbtc.com/ are taking away business and are doing the same thing, and it would be a safe bet to work through a more reputable payment processor like BitPay.

finally, it seems like our requests finally got to them. but it tool them so long.
i personally have submitted the request for adding bitcoin to their services about 6 months ago, where they responded negatively.
it is good to see that they have turned around.

+1 Also, provider this large accepting BTC s going to stimulate other similar companies to do the same. It sounds and looks really good.
