I, as Steam user, want to pay for and play my game right now, not in 30-60 minutes.

Well, then pay with credit card. I think it's reasonable to make you wait for a bitcoin transaction. That's just how bitcoin is.

A mandatory waiting period for your horny impulse purchase doesn't necessarily seem like a bad thing, anyway.

That's a solved problem in 2025. There are chains with confirmation times of around 1 second now.
well don't pay with bitcoin that has a 10 minute block time, use something near the top of this https://www.cryptosettlementtime.com
