My last couple of purchases in Steam have all failed with "An unknown payment error", annoying the hell out of me and resulting in Valve having 1 less customer .. not to mention there must be other people with the same problem, creating in a lot of lost profit opportunity.
It has occurred to me it might not be completely in vain to try to organize group effort and try to get those of us who already use Steam to send an email to Steam support asking for re-enabling of the option to pay via BitPay. Since Steam already implemented BitPay payments before and had to remove them only because of Core intentionally destroying BTC as a payment method, there is little reason for them not to restore the option as it supports BCH now, guaranteeing an always available cheap, instant, reliable crypto payment option.
You can submit the ticket with your request at https://help.steampowered.com/ in the Purchases section.
If enough people are willing to participate, we could turn it into a weekly action and try to onboard 1 big retail every week, focusing on those that have a higher chance of considering the idea.
Next up could be 23andme who looked quite open to the idea based on conversations with the support people.
