What do you guys think of it ?
Funny how valve says they are never going to accept bitcoin in 2014
And it looks like they are using bitpay to mediate the transactions between them and customer
tl;dr
Some guy at reddt managed to find a hidden code during steam lunar new year sales
Here's the code to it

That would be sooooooooooooo coooooooooool!!!
That's all btc really need! A few huge companies starting to accept btc! Then adoption will know no limit!
Good on Valve/Steam if they eventually accept it. More payment options for customers is good for both them and the customer. And good for us as it increases awareness, especially when people realize it's utility.
it was the same news about steam, they are accepting bitcoin yes, but usually on other vendors i'm able to find at cheaper rate their game(penguin and g2a), so i don't think i'll buy from steam anyway
Well but you can't buy items from marketplace with bitcoin so farWhen Bitcoin is released im gonna buy steam wallet with bitcoin and buy few csgo skins that i wanted
I've found a few skins marketplace for bitcoin but their prices are kinda more expansive than on steam was
So this news really excites me to buy as much as steam wallet i could
yes but i'm not too much into skin and those item in-game with steam, i only care about the game itself
i must admit that sometimes there are new games that are not available on g2a and kinguin, so in those cases, steam with bitcoin is the only choice you have
STEAM and VALVE is one company right? 2016 is a very good year for BTC, and if gamers adapted BTC to buy their games online the price will be going to the moon

Good news that they are accepting it...what I would like to see is places accepting it and not turning into fiat, would rather have it flow to a btc wallet than a fiat bank.
i might be mistaken but i always thought valve and steam are the same thing! isn't it like steam is for valve or valve is for steam?
Valve is a company, Steam is their product. i might be mistaken but i always thought valve and steam are the same thing! isn't it like steam is for valve or valve is for steam?

It's not a big deal to me. There's tons of people accepting it nowadays.
It is a big deal because a big and famous company is trying to accept bitcoin which is more than just good for bitcoin. 
so, after steam,valve, and any other big company starting to accepting bitcoin in this year,can we decide that 2016 is the real "year of bitcoin"?
i'd say yes
i'd say yes
Why? It's looking pretty divisive and sluggish to me so far. There've been far, far better years in terms of companies accepting it. Even then they haven't exactly been gushing about the differences it's made to their business.
Good news that one of the biggest game development company is going to accept Bitcoin. Well, I doubt that many people will use them as we already have services such as Key4co.in. I actually bought CS:GO from Key4co.in a few weeks back - before Lunar New Year promotion at Steam - at around 50% of it original value.
yeah, the discounts that these websites offer are awesome for buying games that you always wanted but was a little bit expensive. maybe it is just me and my paranoid personality but I could never trust them to buy anything from them. and bitcoin makes it hard to trust them too because of the anonymity and irreversible transactions.

i think itll be really beneficial for the bitcoin currency, if steam started accepting bitcoins as a payment. tons of people would start making wallets and getting btc to use it on steam. and ofcourse itll bring more traffic to valve so its a win-win http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2016-02/09/valve-accept-bitcoin-steam

It's nice to see that as many stores accept Bitcoin. Hopefully that will add Bitcoin quickly.

anyways it is a great news for games all over the world who use bitcoin.

It is a big deal, if you take sales figures into consideration : " Half-Life, the debut effort released by the PC-oriented Seattle-area studio a decade ago last month, put Valve on the map and remains its highest seller to date with 9.3 million units sold at retail, according to statistics released alongside a profile in the November 2008 issue of Game Informer magazine. Gearbox Studios' expansion packs Half-Life: Opposing Force and Half-Life: Blue Shift sold 1.1 million and 800,000 units respectively."
Just imagine all of these games were paid for with bitcoins... could you imagine if other platforms came onboard with BitPay and did the same? We are
talking huge numbers here, when the gaming industry adopts Bitcoin. Let's give BitPay some credit people...
Remember that bitpay took 1% out of the total item we bought
And thanks to valve it is possible to introduce bitcoin to the gamers around the world easily
Applause to valve too
Though i think it will take time before bitcoin can be implemented
