Bitcoin on Steam

[TastyChillySauce00]

I just noticed that on Steam, I went to purchase something and as a payment option Bitcoin was there. I tried it and it is extremely easy and simple. How long has this been there?

It has been there not to long ago I believe that it has only been a month or so. But this will definitely benefit them both without a doubt.
With this both Bitcoin and Steam can become more and more popular.

actually, steam has started to accepting bitcoin as their payment processor just about 2 weeks ago by looking to few threads which inform that steam starting to accept bitcoin recently,for example : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1459264.0
but it still have the chance to be removed, maybe it's for testing purpose so,will be looking forward

Seems like you weren't active enough in the forums back then. The bitcoin adoption from steam was kind of a fuzz nearly a month ago. A lot of people have actually been using it and as far as I know, I haven't seen any report or issues myself and from other people.

Its been quite a month and they are getting lots of bitcoin transactions these days. They are using bitpay payment gateway to process all purchases via bitcoin with 0 confirmation required that is instant purchase can be made via bitcoin.

Bitcoin has been on Steam for quite a while. Have you check Microsoft? Microsoft accepts bitcoin now.

Its very good news for these people plus the fact is also that because of this the bitcoin will also gain more popularity.
Every big company will help the bitcoin to gain more publicity if it steps into the bitcoin..

I don't understand why people buy with BTCs there. In comparision with my country money for example the values aren't right. BTC costs more on a Exchange than on Steam shop.

It's a great update for sure, but they are devaluating the real price of BTC.

wow so they really started to accept bitcoins now , this is really good for the market
I have read an article about Steam one month ago I guess and they stated that they may accept bitcoins in the future but now it's official as I see
it's really amazing to see such big name dealing  with BTC

it has been official when they sent out emails to their developers saying they will add bitcoin even before the actually added it.
and you can easily check that,. just open up steam any of the markets and try to buy something and you will see there is a bitcoin logo alongside other things like credit card.

Yes it was quite an awesome find; if you haven’t yet figured it out; even larger agencies such as Microsoft and Newegg are accepting your bitcoin as payment. Newegg even pays it’s affiliates with bitcoin, so for those of you who are willing to make a website niche based around computer technology and want to receive bitcoin as payment for your affiliation, I suggest you go to Newegg.

I thought Microsoft announced that they stopped accepting bitcoin?

Only in some countries. In Australia, Microsoft doesn't accept bitcoin yet.

A win for bitcoin. Bitcoin being accepted on Steam will increase its legitimacy status and increase awareness to bitcoin.

Yes big merchants have now started accepting bitcoin payments as you can microsoft have also started accepting bitcoin. You can also buy Dell laptops with bitcoin.

I also love playing games in steam and now i can purchase games with currency i love (bitcoin).

[bloodnest]

Yes, this obviously will be better for the company seeing as how its customers will be able to deal direct to the company so they'll be more secure (this eliminates the middleman who sells steam codes at higher prices, be limited in stock and who could very well scam) and it also means that people like me who doesn't deal via CreditCard can deal with Bitcoin which I can buy without the need of the latter through other non-conventional means - works here in the Philippines

I now bought one game with the bitcoin and it was pretty easy indeed, its feels nice to pay steam games with the bitcoin although it feels a bit weird.

Yea I’ve been using bitcoins as payment for a while now, it was announced in late April, about the same time I joined Steam. If you’re a steam user and you use bitcoins as your daily income, I recommend using bitcoins as payment; you will need an app on you pc to make the transaction and it should be done within 45minutes.

[lumeire]

Haven't tried this just yet, as I still got funds on my Steam wallet. Does anyone know where to find Steam gift cards/wallet codes directly for btc?
