Reddit rumors are everything but realiable.
I think last time they said BTC would be in Amazon, but many time has passed and no signs of it so far
Topic: Bitcoins in Steam coming soon... - page 6. (Read 5735 times)
Is this still happening?
Still can't find the BTCBTCBTC option in adding wallet funds, so I suppose it didn't happen yet. There are steam wallet codes for sale in BTCBTCBTC though, peeps might want to search for that in the meantime.
Is this still happening?
it's very good news, but from reddit this news still rumor and no officially announce from valve
if the thing really exist, maybe we just use bitcoin directly from our online wallet

What the hell is it with all these companies being US only? It's crazy. The whole point of accepting bitcoins is to open up to people who otherwise wouldn't be able to play.
i agree, steam is a huge platform, almost every gamer uses steam and it adopting bitcoin will definitely lead to a higher use rate for bitcoin. would be great for the bitcoin economy.
So this can mean large adaptation of bitcoin.
I doubt it could mean large adoption if Bitcoin is added to Steam. Bitcoin cannot handle much more users than today, so it could be actually disaster if Steam added Bitcoin and only small part of Steam users let say about 10 million users tried to purchase games with Bitcoin. The Bitcoin Blocks would be filled all the time and not all users transactions could ever be processed! Now imagine the huge negative response: Bitcoin proved it cant work when Steam added it as payment option and half of 10 million gamers cannot get their transactions go even trough ! End of Bitcoin then?
Anyone knows when this will be up? Kinda been looking forward for this coming Steam summer sale.
from what i have read in this topic and the links on reddit, it is in the rumor stage. so there is no official announcement of when it is going to come.
I am so glad to hear about this news and it is a good success for bitcoin as well since it is becoming popular every where around the globe and people are getting to know bitcoins more than last year.

We have many gamers that using their services?
Some of them will probably will be interested when they see bitcoin as possibility of payment.

I also heard that it's only available for US customer, so it's not really good news for bitcoiner outside US because they can't use bitcoin as payment, expect they set their residence to US, but US price usually more expensive than in other countries.
But, if every steam customer from every country can pay with bitcoin. it would be great.

but that would a big start.
it does not matter that they start from US because they will expand their service to other countries if it becomes successful.
it will just take time. we have to be patient.

i hope that all people will be allowed to check out with bitcoins in order to buy some games on steam
Steam will probably pilot the Bitcoin payment project within the USA and if everything is okay with the service they will expand it to other countries soon enough fingers crossed.
When the is going to happen?
Is this only a story or we have real evidence?
This could be groundbreaking!

It's still very early, but it will not take a lot of time consider that Steam is just only going to use Bitpay as a gateway to get BTC payments accepted and possibly auto convert to USD again, so it will be pretty fast technically, ho long do they take to make the official statement is another story.

it is definitely a great development for bitcoin and its growth as more people come to know about this as its included into the steam platform, no doubt that bitcoin is included by popular demand but it helps in getting more exposure for sure

if its true it might be a huge deal. as gamers seems to be the group of people that might adopt bitcoins in my opinion so getting it on steam has a huge market for growth.
the fact that steam is planning on adding bitcoin payment system to their service shows that there is enough requests for it. because they will not add an extra option just to make things confusing for their users if nobody had asked for it.
it is going to be a huge "first step" for other big companies to start noticing bitcoin and maybe over time , if Steam was successful other will follow in the footsteps and make bitcoin payments as popular as paypal.
