Looks like steam is finally going to accept bitcoin!!!!

http://cointelegraph.com/news/steam-to-accept-payments-via-bitcoin-in-its-next-update

Curious if that will affect the people selling games on the bitcoin talk? And the various other websites you can buy steam at.

We had many bitcoin steam individual resellers and big services like G2A offering Steam games for btc in the past.
And they are going to stay, nothing is gonna change because these they are usually offering lower prices for games that Steam.

Buying games from Steam directly is only advised if:

1. You can't find the game you want anywhere else. (very unlikely)
2. There is Steam Sale going on.

Even then you should not directly put BTC into steam. Steam wallet funds are worth less than paypal/BTC so you can get like 10-20% off.
For example, you can buy CS:GO keys for around 1.9 to 2$ in BTC and sell them on the community market for around 2.5$. Or buy skins from bitskins.com too.

This is true, but not anybody knows about bitskins or the key thing, there will surely be new customers which have bitcoin to spend.

It wont affect the forum market because it will only help there are so many peopel who can tell about the bitcoins and also want to buy allot of things with the bitcoin i think it will only help them to get more attention.

true only to ease people only, and maybe it was a promo for the customers interested, I guess that will not harm either party
