Cool

Steam now accepting bitcoin payments easy to transfer funds unlike paypal to steam funds

Can't wait to see Paypal fade away. Their fees are astronomical.

Great to see Steam accepting Bitcoin! I hope they will continue to accept Bitcoin.

I will check it out and also try to buy a game or two with Bitcoin. I strongly urge every Bitcoiners to do so too. Even though we can get cheaper game with Bitcoin from stores like G2A and Key4Co.in, we should support Steam. If there is only a few Bitcoin transactions between Steam and Bitcoiners, Steam may consider to stop accepting Bitcoin.

Let's all buy a game or two with Bitcoin on official Steam.

OP, how did you pay exactly? I know you said using bitcoin, but did you have to load your Steam wallet first using bitcoin or did you pay for your game directly with bitcoin or what/how exactly?

I hope some company will come out that accept both credit card and bitcoin, then pay merchants using bitcoin on behalf of the users. The whole process should be very fast and secure.

It's a very healthy development that Steam has accepted Bitcoins. I recall last year, Microsoft accepted Bitcoins as well but no further news came out of it.

I suspect once the price of BTC stablises, there will be more formal adoption by corporations.

IIRC, did Dell accept Bitcoins once?

I would not see the point of adding a premium to the prices, else there would be little reason to use Bitcoin.

Xapo has a platform that allows you to purchase Steam/PC/XBox games and you can get via Bitcoins but had to pay 10 - 15% premium.

Steam the real deal has came!

I also considered buying through them, until I saw the premium prices asked for those games and I turned it down. I do not know why services like this try to exploit people, because they should try to promote Bitcoin with lower prices and discounts, but they just do the opposite.

I will now buy through Steam and skip these dodgy alternatives.

what is this swarm of people using bitcoin on steam now, it has been about 1 or 2 months since they have started accepting bitcoin and more than 4 months ago the news about the possibility of it was released!

I have read complaints that some Steam keys bought from G2A are not working and it's a real hassle to contact customer support and fix the issues. I suggest buying directly from Steam with Bitcoins because the price may be a little higher but it's guaranteed that you will start playing right away with no problems. At least for me peace of mind is more important than saving a couple of bucks.

I want to buy a game now on steam too using Bitcoin for the first time, but it's way too expensive, so I was considering buying a cdkey in some place like g2a, which is at almost half the price, but im too paranoid about the cdkeys that those guys are selling being stolen or something. I mean how can they sell a game for half the price? there must be something going on, and it's a new game.

If you're that paranoid, just go with the steam.

I know alot of gamers who paid for games at cheaper prices ended up not getting the game.

and there is a dude who offers giveaways on youtube and FB, he had the same issue with g2a and doesn't matter how many emails he send, he get the same shitty useless responses.

Don't be that guy, go for steam.

Just bought my 1st game from steam using bitcoin, what a great way to pay.

How about you share some relevant information about this? Stating that you've just bought a game does not really help as it provides no information to the people reading the thread.

I would not trust those sites, like the other poster said, they may be stolen.. otherwise where is the business for them?

They are as legit as the "shared" accounts and cheap gift cards that are being sold on this forum. Roll Eyes

Smooth seamless with Bitpay?

I don't see why it would be any different as with the payments at other services that are involved with Bitpay.

Are you paying any premium or charged certain % more than regular payment methods?

they buy those games in the promotions like the summer, winter sales that steam has.
for example steam sells many games for half the price (or with a good discount at least) from time to time to encourage players to buy those games that nobody is buying any longer because of the high price, so these sites buy at that low price and sell with a little profit to us.

But there are games that get released recently, so there is not a possibility that the games have been in steam summer or winter sales. For example the new Doom(2016) game is new released a couple of days ago, and it's available in g2a already for almost half the price... something weird is going on, I would not trust those sites, like the other poster said, they may be stolen.. otherwise where is the business for them?
