This has been pretty much everywhere on the internet... I hope it's true They've been having bitcoin payment requests for quite some time and I'd definitely buy more on their store if they start accepting Bitcoin! And another plus for us, a huge merchant accepting out favorite currency!

Wow, I don't know that Steam was started to accept Bitcoin as the payment. This is what I've been waiting for, btw I think they're mentioning about BitPay on that tweet.

Let's hope their acceptance of bitcoin works better than anything else they do. The one game I bought using Steam gave me nothing but headaches and frustration, dealing with their buggy interface, crashes and constant flood of advertising that killed my limited bandwidth cap as a rural user. Then several years after my old system died I tried to reinstall my game on a new system and was completely unable to do so. When I asked for assistance (without rancor) I promptly got banned on their forum. It's been the most ridiculously user-unfriendly system/company I've dealt with in games. Too bad, because I really enjoyed the game itself (TW: Empire). But it's like they are trying to drive people into piracy or something.

They not going to hold Bitcoin, because they will use a third party processor to convert all Bitcoins received into fiat. I am curious to know which

third party processor this is going to be? Has this been announced yet? If the payment of Bitcoin is incentivized with discounts, Bitcoin will take

flight, but there must me some advantage {possibly cheaper tx fees} to using Bitcoin over other payment methods for people to switch. 

The money I see is in payment processing. 
Hmm. They better pass on some of the savings to the customer.
I would guess they are paying 1% on outsourced processing. That is 2% less than they likely pay for outsourcing payment of a credit card and they should, at least, split that with the customer. I have come to expect a bargain with bitcoin because I am sweetening the deal for the seller also. They are getting an irreversible payment within the hour, and saving 3%. Of course I pay the bitcoin fee, but that is a low and fair fee that goes to strengthen my money.

Really looking forward to see how this impacts bitcoin volume, I would imagine we will see an increase in traffic to this forum as more people get curious about bitcoin?

If it was not for the values to be converted in fiat and exchanged from its lower or upper bounds, bitcoins would not have gotten the recogbisition it has today. In a way, it works in our favor.
