    FYI: Always online, even in single player. Game will be useless once Activision turns off the authentication servers.

            This information now makes me wanna buy that game. Like so many, I don’t mind paying for entertainment, I just don’t want to be suddenly without access to the game. Activision is so stupid.

              Yeah, if I get it, I’ll probably buy a license and then play the cracked version. However, I’m not likely to go through the effort, so I guess we’ll see.

    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.

          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.
