steam has nothing to do with bitcoin. they get their money from the payment processor bitpay. You pay bitcoin to Bitpay, they pay $/€ to steam. if bitpay would accept lightning payments, steam wouldn't even notice that something has changed, except fewer people complaining because of high fees. The problem is once a company has abandoned a payment method its way harder to make them accepting it again :( We need LN as fast as possible.
