Deposit funds? So we will have to send some BTC first to our Steam account and then pay the games with that?
Yes. Correct.By the way, i see no bitcoin option as a mode of payment. It seems that it is only available in US and Europe.

I thought it would be more simple, just send the BTC directly after doing a checkout.
You can do either way man. If you want to purchase a game, just choose the game you want, add to cart and pay.
If you want to deposit and use it for later use like buying in-game stuff like keys or cases or skins etc.
But, I can't see bitcoin option in my steam. I only see Visa, Mastercard and Skrill here. (Or maybe it's not available in my country yet)

This is how it currently looks like. Obviously, there might be changes especially after the update. I don't see how that is 'much simpler'.

Been hearing alot of exciting stuff from reddit which turns out to be a hoax later.
I won't be believing it until steam post it officially in their group or in news.

If that will happen than it would be nice indeed and that is because many people wants to buy their games also with Bitcoin because they use Bitcoin as their payment method.
And you also make it both more popular and that would be perfect for both.
Yeah I agree completely, this is going to be good for both Steam and Bitcoin. Because of this partner ship they can now share the amount of users they both have. And you also make it both more popular and that would be perfect for both.
Maybe some Steam users come over to Bitcoin and some Bitcoin users go over to Steam.
Wait I didn't know it was launched only for customers in the USA and Europe as I myself am from Europe and I took it for granted that Valve had made Bitcoin available worldwide with this update. It's a pity that folks in other countries won't be able to take advantage of this. Do you know if Valve is planning to expand this to other continents? By the way the Russian players on Steam can't use Bitcoin as it's banned in their country right? Anyone from Russia can confirm?

I hope lord Gaben will make it true cause i am using steam often and it will be so good for me if i can pay with bitcoins. I am playing dota 2 and cs:go so mirco payments with bitcoin will be so good.
well, i don't think "micro-transaction" comes in play in this case. things you want to buy are not cheap and i find that it is so much easier to fill the steam wallet with money and spend that. so you can place $10-$80 in your steam wallet and then spend on buying things that way.
It has already came out in BETA, a new change in BTC..

OK, here is the latest update.
Code ready to deploy to address an issue that impacted a small group of customers.
Since it is getting late @ BitPay and Valve we are waiting until tomorrow to re-launch...
This is so we can closely monitor the transactions and make sure things are going nice and smooth for everyone.
Thanks for your patience and this thread will be the first to know when we are ready for the next round of transactions.
Any of the customers impacted will be taken care of... feel free to MSG me if you need me to research a transaction or anything.... I am happy to help.

This is very good news. companies such as steam will use bitcoin. This is evidence of the growing and broad acceptance among bitcoin. I believe this year will present some of the company's e-commerce which will follow progress of steam. bitcoin has been great and it's time a new era started.
it's a evidence of shit. it's nothing. Overstock accepts BTC since 1 year ago and they only had few transaction. That's why you didn't buy games via Steams until now? Because they didn't accept BTC?
