    It came to Steam because of the Microsoft buyout. Same with Diablo 4.

      You still have to install that annoying Blizzard launcher, I guess?

        What do you find annoying with Battlenet? It’s no worse than Steam.

          I’m okay with steam because:

          • basically everyone can sell their games on Steam (*conditions apply)
          • it has a (working) offline mode
          • they’re putting a lot of effort into gaming on Linux
          • family sharing
          • it let’s me integrate external games

          The Blizzard launcher is just for the few games Blizzard is selling. It asked me to go online way too often. Maybe every single time, I don’t remember exactly. It’s a bit like that Rockstar launcher. I don’t see any value in it besides auto updates.
