The Valve Corporation recently started accepting bitcoin payments on the digital distribution platform Steam. The service offers some of the world's most popular video games, including Grand Theft Auto, Dota, Fallout, Team Fortress, and Counterstrike.

At any given time of the day, several million users are on the platform, the peak number of players logged in last weekend was just shy of 13 Million. More than 125 Million gamers had active accounts in 2015.

I bought a 10 euro game for 10.04 euro.

Valve stated they won't actually hold anyBTC, but the company that does the transaction (BitPay) will give them fiat instead.

that is quite some user-base if a portion of them move over into bitcoin it could be quite a ride with the halving coming up also it might give it an extra push.

The revolution will be monetized!

Of course it will go away if no one uses it. Here is your chance to save some fees and SPEND your BTC instead of turning it back into crappy fiat.

Decentralised Amazon & ICO Hub

That's nice for us. It will give a lot more exposure to Bitcoin to all these potential future members. If it is a success or not will depend of the visibility of this option.
