BitPay wins another victory, the famous game platform Steam may accept Bitcoin payments

It is reported that Valve may be planning to use Bitcoin as a payment method in the Steam gaming platform. This rumor is not completely groundless, and of course it has not been officially confirmed by Valve. A Reddit community user exposed a Steam transaction server information code, showing the processing items and codes related to Bitcoin payments. Steam may accept Bitcoin certified by BitPay.com as a payment method.

Many years ago, Steam was one of the first gaming platforms to support PayPal payments, but now it is much more cautious as its scale has expanded rapidly. Although Bitcoin has many advantages, such as much higher security and anonymity than credit cards and PayPal payments, Bitcoin as a digital currency has the characteristics of high volatility and non-instantaneity.

All the information at present is just the code entry from Steam transaction server, not any official confirmation. However, Valve is still very likely to enable Bitcoin payment for Steam, and the official launch date of this function is not clear. As a digital game sales platform, Green Man Gaming has already provided Bitcoin payment. If Steam also provides Bitcoin payment support, as the largest digital game distribution platform, it will provide considerable help to the legalization of Bitcoin.
