Have you ever bought games from Steam using Bitcoin? If so, for how much?

[eternalgloom]

I would like to know how many people here have bought something on Steam using Bitcoin as the payment method.
It would also be good to know how much Bitcoin (or equivalent in $ or €) you've spent in total since Steam has started accepting Bitcoin.

Also important to note is that you don't count your purchases of Steam codes through external services, only orders made through Steam itself.

The primary reason I'm asking is that I would like to have some sort of view on the popularity of the Bitcoin payment method on Steam. I was pretty bummed when Fiverr removed Bitcoin payments and I'm hoping that Bitcoin payments on Steam are a bit more popular.

Not doing a poll, since I'm asking multiple questions and polls are easier to cheat.
Looking forward to hearing your responses!

My own response:

I've used Bitcoin about 3 or 4 times for a Steam purchase and the combined value of the orders was around 45 euros in total.
I still use Paypal some of the time, but if it's possible, I usually pay with Bitcoin.

I used bitcoin 1 time in steam to buy gift codes, spend 300$+.

[Pursuer]

when I was a gamer, back when I had time and was younger wanted steam to accept bitcoin so that I can pay with bitcoin. when they started accepting bitcoin I was no longer a gamer at least no as much as before so I never bought anything there apart from one time buying a Dota2 international compendium to have extra features while watching the international tournaments. it was about $10.

Still don't experiene yet to buy games on steam but depositing and use the credit for upgrade items in some games.. i already made.. buying games on team honestly are expensive.. unlike for other country but i think many people are already successful buying games in steam..
Since its easy right now to use bitcoin even teenangers can do it just to buy games..

Did you buy these on Steam itself or on an external website, since you said you bought giftcodes?

I have actually bought games on steam with bitcoin, it's a pretty pleasant experience and pretty much as simple as using a credit card though the only thing you have to wait on is for the confirmations.

Make sure to set the fee high if you want to get the game sometime within 20mins or so. The amount was around $30 or so.

Paypal isn't so popular in Serbia right now, but I've used bitcoin to buy Battlerite that's 20$.

That's good to know. I myself am thinking of buying some games on it, and in that way test the quality of the service, as I have never used steam before. First I have to check if there are good purchase options, of course, but the fact that this company is making available the possibility of buying using Bitcoin brings already an additional incentive for me to buy it through this platform.

I have bought games on Steam with bitcoins twice now. I had no problems.

Valve will be happy to know that I would not have bought them if I had to use some other method of payment.

Steam itself is a pretty good service, they've been around since forever and if you have your mind set on a particular game, than it's no problem to use their service.

I'm saying that because I would stay away from games that are still in alpha or beta stages, unless they have very good reviews already.
You can get refunds, but I'm not sure if you can get a refund in Bitcoin. If someone knows if it's possible, please share

[Yakamoto]

Used it something like four or five times so far, maybe spent somewhere between $100 and $200 on games with it so far, I'd have to go back and check.

Overall it's a good system I'd say and there is very little I would like to change about it aside from maybe the time it takes to confirm a transaction and actually get the game, but I'm fairly patient.

[Taki]

I have never bought games there. But I would like to buy World of Warcraft on Blizzard site. I would glad to pay the game and playing time with bitcoins. Does anyone know is it already possible or is it even planned to come true?

[PeRo]

I have bought a few games and a few DLC's troughSteam and the amount I spent in total is about 0.064 Bitcoins. Pretty much the only thing I use Bitcoin for is buying steam games, all my transactions are to Valve, only one was for buying games from some guy.

[shinratensei_]

I bought the counter strike global offensive from steam through bitcoin itself and I don't try to use the other gateway or parties, all of the journeys is running for well. It looks like a lot of demand on the bitcoin method in steam payment. I think this will be so long.

Yeah I would also like to buy Starcraft 2 using Bitcoin, but as far as I know, it's not possible to buy Blizzard games with Bitcoin.
It might be a good time to send them some e-mails about that, maybe some community oriented effort?

Starcraft 2 is great but I think Starcraft 1 (broad wars) is still the best real time strategy game of all times.

As for buying games in steam, I bought a couple during the winter sale, I got Project Cars and Asseto Corsa to play with my Logitech racing wheel, pretty good games.

There are a lot of things that you can't do in starcraft 1, talking about general unit management, it's a real pain in the ass.
I like classic games like SC1, but imo, they've really improved it with SC2 :p You just have to stop living in the past (j/k)

I think its allowed now to buy steam games with bitcoin. I searched google and i see that they have partnered with bitpay which is a payment processor. Now you can buy steam games with bitcoin through it. Counter strike: Global Offensive is what i love to buy. I really love this game.

[neochiny]

I've yet to buy any game on steam, be it with BTC or other.
But, this is only because the only game I used to like there was free to play.    So, I only had to use my BTC for in-game credits. (But that BTC had to go through a couple other payment processors, just to get converted to the appropriate one)

The only connection with BTC (this forum rather) and STEAM that I encountered was, occasionally there'd be some people giving away free keys (I think it was in the games and round). The one I got was for Dirt 3. Claimed it and all, but I've yet to play it though.

If BTC can now be used, then I'd probably try out the Left4Dead. It's a bit old, but good.

[merlinsbeard]

I bought Rocksmith on g2a and dlcs on steam with btc a few days ago.

I instantly regretted not holding on to it
