Valve is preparing to implement Bitcoin support on Steam, numerous reports today suggest. The digital currency is likely to be a payment option quite soon, too, if screenshots taken from Steam's private developer forums are accurate.
"We are excited to announce that Steam is going to start accepting payments via bitcoin," reads the announcement (via PCGamesN). "We?re using an external payment provider to process Bitcoin payments to help partners reach more customers on Steam.
"Bitcoin is becoming an increasingly popular online payment method in some countries, and we?re enabling a system that insulates partners from risk and volatility while still providing value to the end customer."
