I hope it will but we have to be patient, soon it will.
I think steam will go for it soon, they are always fast with new payment methods.

If so, then I think it's actually used very often.
And I think it goes much better with Bitcoin, because people increasingly use Bitcoin

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.

finally, it seems like our requests finally got to them. but it tool them so long.

i personally have submitted the request for adding bitcoin to their services about 6 months ago, where they responded negatively.

it is good to see that they have turned around.

there is g2a, that accept bitcoin, and they basically have almost every game from steam and gog, desura and many other

so even if steam do not want to accept it, i see no problem

Amph, I think the big difference is Steam has a much bigger user base and it pose a huge opportunity for us to get much bigger acceptance. I guess they

figured other sites like http://steamgamesbtc.com/ are taking away business and are doing the same thing, and it would be a safe bet to work through a

more reputable payment processor like BitPay.

I remember I was really pissed off at Gabe Newel for still ignoring Bitcoin in Steam, when it would be such a natural thing to do to accept Bitcoin in Steam since buying with credit cards is a pain in the ass (you have to put money in the credit card, then you have to log in to your bank account page which is a mess, you have to enter the security pass in your physical card that is random each time, then you need to confirm with your phone, and you need to do this all faster than your bank logs you off because you take too much time in the webpage and as a security measure it auto logs you off after X time... it's just terrible). Now with Bitcoin, it would take seconds.

I hope this is true this time and we can be buying games soon with Bitcoin officially through steam.

It makes a lot of sense for steam to take bitcoin. Many gamers are young and un-banked. They also must be swamped with paperwork dealing with all the currencies in use around the world.

That's really paradoxically that they are doing this only now. I mean gamers are considered the most technically advanced people, just like bitcoin users, so overlap is obvious

this is such a big news if it actually happens. because i don't see any change in steam stores yet.

but if steam starts accepting bitcoin then it is going to introduce a large number of people to bitcoin which is going to increase the price to the sky.

Its still a rumor, while I would like to see steam accept bitcoin I wouldnt get my hopes up until I see it.

My thoughts exactly. Maybe it'd turn out like Half Life 3.

More great news!  Many people use Stream therefore more new adopters.  The news seems to be going over well on the net.

Good job from Bitpay, realy cool bringing gamers to Bitcoin.
