Steam store now accepts Bitcoin payments
“Whether they're hardcore gamers or first-time players, Steam's players deserve a faster, safer payment method,” reads the BitPay announcement. “With Steam's bitcoin integration, customers will be able to use any bitcoin wallet to scan, pay, and get back to gaming in seconds without having to provide sensitive financial information.”
The bitcoin payment method is already present for some users. With the move, Valve joins the likes of Microsoft which already allows payments via bitcoin for purchases on Xbox and the Windows Store.

Not really, Bitcoin is great but there is no way to earn it without warning what's in circulation of mining with a super computer. Since GPU mining is dead.
