SJ0,

If they can do GOG I’ll pick up their games, steam is ok but really I want to own my games and only GOG does that.

I'm sure their games will still use their bnet DRM, d4 especially. Seems like a cheap cash grab, but what else to expect from actiblizz

KuroiKaze,

Lol the desperation of a flailing bad company. Sorry Blizzard, winter is over.

RocksForBrains,

Gimme steam support for D4 so I can get full compatibility on my steamdeck

Haven’t you always dreamed of having a launcher to launch your launcher which launches the actual game? Seriously who approves these choices

It's been [UMPTEEN YEARS] since I registered a Steam account, and when I registered my CD key for original Half-Life, I got the Blue Shift and Opposing Force for free. (As is the case with of most Steam library items, I've yet to complete them!) Now. Please let me transfer my shit from Battlenet to Steam. I can't wait to get my Starcraft installed! I could finally be a proper PC gamer! /very mild sarcasm

ono,

I wonder how this decision relates to the Microsoft acquisition.

Microsoft did go on the record saying that pulling Call of Duty from Steam was a mistake. Given that they also release their own exclusives on Steam, it's clear they understand that, even if Valve takes a 30% cut, not releasing on Steam is almost as bad as not releasing your game at all.

Only OW2 for now, hopefully HS soon though.

I wonder what the playercounts will look like? It’ll only capture people launching the game through Steam, of course, but I figure they’ll be decently high and score among the top concurrent players anyway.

If it's anything like Path of Exile, around 60% of their playerbase uses Steam over their standalone launcher.

It'll be nice to at least track playtimes and have that data in 1 location.
