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.

I'm guessing this is a good thing for people that use Steam, I never have Bitcoins so this isn't that interesting/good to me.

Im actually surprised they would use a not so stable currency. Could end up costing them a fortune if they're unlucky.
