GameStop has confirmed that they will be carrying gift cards for credit on Steam in values of $20 and $50. This is a significant step in demonstrating the maturity of the digital sales realm and also a tacit acknowledgment that GameStop’s Impulse digital download service is not how most consumers are spending their money.
“GameStop is the most recognized game retailer in the world and a leader in providing a state-of-the-art shopping experience for its customers,” said Jason Holtman, Valve’s director of business development. “Offering Steam Wallet codes at GameStop extends more options and convenience to gamers around to the world.”
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Valve on this new initiative,” added Steve Nix, GM of digital distribution for GameStop. “This gives even more options to customers now that they can put money in their Steam Wallet using cash, gift cards or trade credits through our convenient neighborhood locations.”
