Steam now accepts Bitcoin for purchases

How would the DRM zone controls Steam currently have work with this? Before, you needed to have a credit card of the country you're buying the game from.

Sorry I don't have time to dig into their choice of implementation but one way would be for Bitcoin to be a secondary payment option for those who have already registered a credit card.

Probably "not at all".

I can only assume that the number of buyers using both Bitcoin and a VPN to buy cheaper games is too small to worry about.
