Topic: Valve is about to accept bitcoin as their payment system - page 2. (Read 1205 times)
It's not a big deal to me. There's tons of people accepting it nowadays.
So i was reading some news when this news catches my attention

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

Thats ironic because I was just trying to make a steam purchase yesterday with btc but couldn't and had to make the risky trade for *shivers* paypal
It's more likely that back in the days, they thought, they covered all needed payment systems and won't be needing anything further and so they didn't take BTCitcoin seriously at that time and after seeing even with many available payment options, they still haven't covered some users due to their location and inability to buy their games so perhaps this is their way of covering these kind of users.

They don't really "accept" bitcoin, because they will ask bitpay to exchange all bitcoin to fiat automatically.
They just want more users to spend their money on their service, that's all.
But i heard, it's only available for US customer (for now)
well, it is at least another way for us, bitcoin users, to spend out bitcoins. and also more importantly for new people to recognize bitcoin and maybe expand bitcoin to new users.
p.s. they never said "never". they always were so cheeky about answering to these requests to add bitcoin payment and said it is not possible at the moment or something like this.
I think there is the potential for Valve to start accepting Bitcoin, but we can't be sure yet. The screencapped code is definitely quite a bit more solid evidence that they could be moving towards Bitcoin as an alternate payment system, but I want to see an announcement from Valve before I get too excited with this news.
Wargaming opened the season. Then there s news about Steam doing the same. Now Valve. Good stuff, good stuff.
I'm pretty sure Steam and Valve will start to accept bitcoins exactly at the same time.

That's a good new for btc world, maybe steam sales will increase.... or maybe not.
There's sites like kinguin.. accepting btc since months ago...
Steam said "no" to btc... and now it's retracting? isn't "professional".
imo.
They are smelling "fiat".
