Finally, an optimistic piece of news. In fact, the first real one this year.

I think its pretty sweet indeed, steam made a good choice.

They will add it fast in my opinion.

Maybe they will also do a sort of sale if you pay with bitcoin.
Besides opinions, probably based on former experience, there is a solid anouncement on adoption time frame anywhere?

Looks like this is pretty legit Steam is bringing Bitcoin to the platform no more buying gift cards from shady websites:)

+1

Also, provider this large accepting BTC s going to stimulate other similar companies to do the same.
It sounds and looks really good.

i am not so sure about the second part.

i remember about a year or so ago that i heard Dell (computer company) is accepting bitcoin and i thought that this is going to cause others to start accepting bitcoin too.

but as we see now, that didn't happen.
The time will come when all the big companies will start to accept bitcoin, and the stimulation come in effect when not a big but a father company joins it, where the competitors to it a smaller in strength. Then the remaining start to follow the father’s methods.

Personally I will not go to games and gambling with bitcoin. Its worst I guess.

Better instead of that save your bitcoins in your wallet itself.

Well, i think it's not worst. I mean Steam games has big market on gambling, like Dota 2 and CSGO. if steam really accepted bitcoin, i'm sure dota2lounge and csgolounge will accept bitcoin soon.

It seems that is only for usa accounts

-snip-

mh, maybe they want to see first how it goes? i guess i can always use a vpn

I think this is because of the taxes they take out of your purchase and surely the taxes they have to pay the government for their sale. and as a start I think they go with US then they might expand to other countries too (for now it sucks for the rest of us)

besides your steam account has to be registered with US IP not just one purchase with VPN, right?

you can simply create another account using a vpn and use that account to purchase with bitcoin

very simple
And what if Steam detects it and disabled the keys or other products bought from it's website? There can be a risk too. It's better to buy from steam when they do accept payments from other countries as well.

That's good to hear. It won't be useful to me though as I never bought any steam related products but I read that it's again for USA only. Even earlier coinbase introduced their debit card for USA. What about other countries then? USing VPN always won't be helpful.

For sure it will be very good if something like steam will accept it. Also, I think Bitcoin fits gamers very well too.

If this ever happens, my in-game items on dota 2 would probably taste some boost given that I rely only on betting to get more items. Also, this might boost Steam sales and also a good promotion given that most people nowadays are already looking for other alternatives to buy steam games/items other than using PayPal or other credit cards

I see it's still a rumor:

http://coinjournal.net/rumor-valve-adding-bitcoin-to-steam/

But the proof seems solid, and Gave and or anyone in Valve has not dennied the rumors being fake, so let's have some hope and maybe we can be buying Steam games with our Bitcoin soon, which is something I have been waiting to do ever since I got involved in here.
