I haven't tried to buy any games from steam and i haven't made any transactions from but maybe the price would still be based on the original price of any games in dollars which may be ranging from $10 to $30 depending on the game package . And actually I still didn't know how can I buy directly using bitcoin .

I am more bummed that Humble Bundle suspended support for Bitcoin purchases and now I need to exchange coins to PayPal but sometimes the deals there are not to be missed so it's worth the additional hassle.

Humble Bundle didn't suspend the support for Bitcoin purchases, we can still pay the bundle with Bitcoin. But indeed on the recent bundle (the Namco Bundle) the Bitcoin payment has been disabled, but you can still pay with Bitcoin on another bundle.

Oh, I've seen a couple of bundles lately that didn't have Bitcoin payments.
It's also a real pain that you can't buy anything with Bitcoin in their store. Seems like a pretty half assed way to 'support' Bitcoin payments.

I'm hoping that they will expand their Bitcoin support to the whole website and folllow suit with Steam.

I earn bitcoins  just to buy games and in game items from Steam.
Signature Campaigns play an important role in helping me earn bitcoins and then use them.on steam
Not only steam , g2a also accepts Bitcoin . It is also a site which you can trust.
I have till now purchased cs go for $8 and it's ingame items worth $16.

Nothing wrong with using external services like G2A to buy Steam codes, but keep in mind that Steam accepting Bitcoin has a much greater impact than those other services accepting it.
That's the reason why I'd personally try to buy more games using Bitcoin from Steam directly.

Even I said the same thing. I buy games from Steam. I do not buy games from g2a. I just buy ingame items like skins in cs go.
From g2a that's it.
And when it comes to any other thing like trading and stuff , I do it in steam itself

Those might just be the most expensive games you have bought in your life, if Bitcoin's price goes to the Moon later this year.  Roll Eyes ... I guess what

you are doing with your signature campaigns earnings is your business, but I would rather want to see people hoarding some of their coins to

reap the rewards when Bitcoin goes to the moon. I have a rule : Hoard 80% and spend 20% to stimulate the economy and to support companies

that accepts Bitcoin or they will stop doing it.  Cheesy

How good that I do not depend on online games. All others can be downloaded for free via torrent. Why pay for "Resident Evil 7 Biohazard" if it is already cracked.

Keep in mind that products based on Dollar makes Bitcoin change its value. If you buy a game worth 15$ as of now you have to pay .0152 BTC. It always change now the aim of people is to lessen the Bitcoin they will use for buying any product. The higher the value of Bitcoin the lesser Bitcoin you will pay for the product.

Yes i have bought a few games from steam and it was a really easy process. far easier than having to enter all the card details that you have to do when paying by CC.  i think the game i purchased was trove and escapists.  Grin

Good point and it's something that I've definitely taken advantage of when I'd bought Bitcoin for around 800 dollars and buying a game on Steam a few days later when the price went up again.
It's not much that you save on such low value purchases, but still pretty nice Smiley

It depends at what rate have you bought the bitcoins, if it is lower than the price at the moment of purchase then it is a benefit spending the bitcoins on the right place instead of trying to exchange in cash (and paying different fees) and then buying though paypal or credit card which is a long process reaching this.

Even better: if you spend bitcoins, buy more. Then you don't have to worry about the rising value.

That's what I do. I still have my initial investment even though I have spent a bunch of bitcoins at Steam and Purse.io over the last year or two.

I haven't tried it yet and upon checking I just realized you can buy steam games using bitcoins now. That's amazing and convenient. Maybe if I were to buy from steam using bitcoins, I would wait for the steam sale and look for the games I like. I usually like RPG games so that would be my choice for the games I would buy.

I have tried several times using steam and I have tries to use my bitcoin but I always gets error and never get the chance to send my bitcoins to steam. I am confused and I got lost as to what will I do next or what step did I made a wrong move. But I keep on trying how to do it but I am afraid that when I send my bitcoins to steam it will go to waste and so I just used the ordinary method of purchasing games from steam. Hope I can use bitcoin to buy games in steam but I need a tutorial so it will go well.

Oh I see. I haven't tried it so I never had the chance to get to the part where I have to send bitcoins to steam. I'll check it out later and see if I would have any success. Though I see a lot of people in steam forum selling other stuff for bitcoins, like CS:GO keys for unlocking crates and other skins for sale using bitcoins.

Did not buy off-steam allot because steam's rates are extremely high compared to even smaller merchant websites offering steam products Let alone forum merchants selling items at a small rate compared to theirs. I did buy few games though and the BTC payment option was good before. did not see it for a while so not sure if they did take it down or not.
