    Not sure if I want to buy it to support games coming to steam or skip it after it took so long.

      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.
