Playing games and downloading some apps on the store require payments, Is this the best time for those stores to open their payment method with cryptocurrency specially Bitcoin?

Steam, the famous games platform was accepting Bitcoin as a form of payments, sadly they remove it due to the late of 2017 network congestion. Personally, I hope Steam developers reconsider to make Bitcoin payments available yet again.
Sadly the famous store for mobile phone didn't accept any cryptocurrency payments. But there is altcoins called GAME. Basically, its an app store for a mobile phone but accepts cryptocurrency.

Its being said again and again because of the volatility bitcoin possess and since then steam didn't want to risk their marketplace from the beginning. If bitcoin can be more stable then there is a reason for government to accept it for future payment but since it high risk movement there is no guarantee about how bitcoin can stay stable for a period of time.

When checking out on Steam, a customer will transfer x amount of Bitcoin for the cost of the game, plus y amount of Bitcoin to cover the transaction fee charged by the Bitcoin network. The value of Bitcoin is only guaranteed for a certain period of time so if the transaction doesnt complete within that window of time, then the amount of Bitcoin needed to cover the transaction can change. The amount it can change has been increasing recently to a point where it can be significantly different.
