As much as I agree with the communities disdain for Overwatch 2. Blizzard knocked it out of the park with steam integration. No launcher, just sign into your account and it links them and you have your friends lists available. I hope that blizzard keeps this up and releases more games through steam this way.

    It's kind of the bare minimum. Nor is it particularly challenging if a small indie dev like those behind deep rock galactic can do the same.

    But the difference is that blizzard moved from bnet to steam and companies like Ubisoft/ea tend to make steam a launcher launcher. DRG devs (rock and stone!) Build up from nothing with steam so it's easier to convince them to do it. They didn't start with a launcher so making one doesn't make sense.

    Real Blizzard has been dead for years. This is not blizzard, they just bought the name.

    Why should we hope for this company who bought blizzard name and IPs to produce new games?

    I hope they simply stop. Nothing will be missed

    Desperation does this. They are so desperatly hoping someone is playing this mess, that they can't afford to put in even the slightest hurdle.
