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've been boycotting Blizzard since the bNetd bullshit.
Glad Steam lets you block entire publishers.

Hey, neat! This is the first time I've ever seen somebody other than myself commenting that.
Figures that I'd have to leave Reddit for Lemmy to find it.

Haven’t you always dreamed of having a launcher to launch your launcher which launches the actual game? Seriously who approves these choices
Hope, that sc2 would achieve some online from this move
We still can't get free expansions for WoW subscribers? I can't think of any other service where you have to buy the software and pay to use it. Either you buy it and own at least that version outright or you pay a recurring fee for access to the latest version.
This used to be pretty common. And to be fair, I prefer this model compared to excessive cash shops. (WoW also has one which I don't like, but at least there is no item shop. Though I'm sure they would if it not caused too much of a backlash)

Only OW2 for now, hopefully HS soon though.
Please yes. Running Diablo in steam deck is annoying. Install lutris, run battle.net,then run Diablo, then login to battle.net, then login to Diablo, then pick your character to actually play the game. Please remove some steps

Will it keep blocking Linux / Steam Deck users from playing, though?
What are you having issues running on Steam Deck? I got the Blizzard launcher working and have played OW1 and 2 successfully

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
I really hope that when Microsoft buys Activision that they bring back Overwatch 1 and put it on Steam. I played OW1 pretty constantly for over 3 years and was having fun with it until the day they shut it down. I played OW2 for less than two weeks and haven't touched it since release. I can respect that some people prefer OW2, but for me it's not even close.
