Blizzard games are coming to Steam
Blizzard games are coming to Steam
I guess they're giving up on convincing people to download their launcher.
You're viewing a single thread.
Not gonna play them if they include their launcher after game is started from Steam lol.
EDIT: I am very happy to hear that everyone hates them. EA as well as Rockstar has shown that their launchers are shit. On Steam Deck EA games often fail to start at all due to EA launcher updates, and Rockstar launcher takes around 3-5 minutes to start a fucking game (which should start instantly).
This should be unacceptable. Launchers are bloatware.
Mike Ybarra confirmed on the bird site that these games will launch directly through Steam, no bundled launcher nonsense.
confirmed
I've heard OW2 has dropped PVE while it was confirmed that PVE will exist lol.
It was not just "confirmed" - that was whole point of OW2.
Lmao yeah
That's awesome!
Battle.net launcher can literally be closed after the game is running. It even has a setting to automatically do so. Why would they pull this sort of bullshit, I have no idea
Each time battle net launcher opens,it displays a popup banner for cosmetics, warcraft stuff, overwatch stuff etc. They get free ads in your eyeballs.
No way they will let it go. It will be steam -> battle.net -> game
They've stated it will launch OW2 directly.
I expect the worst, and I am usually right. You are probably correct lol.
Why would they pull this sort of bullshit, I have no idea
They aren't, they said that the Steam versions of Blizzard games will not require the Battle.net launcher at all.
My immediate reaction was:
Pffffffffffff.....get fucked!
Do we know if it'll work this way ? It sounds so stupid but I wouldn't put it past them
Pretty sure it either allows to login within game, or launches their own (micro?) launcher first, where you have to login with Blizzard account and then starts the game.
Pretty much all "steam games" that are primarily available elsewhere run this way using mini launchers...
