Besides being able to change prices (whether USD or bitcoin) in real time, Valve is also selling bits and global data center activity. Their prices are very disconnected from other prices to begin with. Not like if they were selling tomatoe

This is a better way to think about it: Valve is in a situation where they could maintain two payment regimes on their site: some content can be paid through methods X, Y and Z, while others cannot be paid by credit or debit cards but accep
