DESTINY 2 WILL NOT BE ON STEAM FOR PC PLAYERS THANKS TO BLIZZARD

So it will actually have good server support, nice.

>this Steam loyalty
Never understood it. So what if it's Battle.net? Works just as well.

>>377325906
Makes me more likely to play it but it still doesn't look too likely.

doesn't affect me. i use both steam and battle.net

It's all good.

So? Battlenet is easy to use and has a convenient interface. The only reason to complain would be if it was on Uplay, Origin, or god forbid...the Windows 10 store.

oh no i have to use another DRM than steam

what's wrong with battlenet, why would you need steam to play a fucking game? all this steam community shit is garbage anyway

>>377325906
Good. Steam is shit anyway.

less people use battlenet and PC player are used to Steam. Also Activision doesnt want to pay 30% to Valve for publishing their game on Steam

>>377325906
This is great news.

Blizzard has fantastic servers.

>>377325906

As long as it is not Uplay or Origin, fine with me.

but now my steam friends wont be seeing 'playing destiny 2' in their friends list

PC players don't care about this game

is there anything wrong with the bnet app? i never had an issue with it since you can limit download rate so it doesnt lag if you're playing a vidya in the background.

I really don't get why people like Steam so much.

Completely unexpected, but will change nothing.

>>377325906
Why are there so many Pcbros?

>>377325906
It's not that big of a deal but it's a mistake on their part, I would say. Steam is a fuck-off huge market that they're excluding a chunk of, in regards to the loyalists lmao

I use b.net for Hearthstone, HoTS and D3 every second season anyway so it's not a big deal to me

>>377325906
Main reason is, they don't need to. It also helps that they don't have to deal with steamspy too, they like to lie about player numbers.

>>377325906
I actually like their client so nothing wrong with that. Anyone that played a blizz game in recent history already has an account anyway so I don't see a problem.

>>377326325
gaben, steam sale, and half-life 3 memes keep children entertained

Steam is kinda cancer these days so that doesn't really matter much to me. But then again Destiny is also cancer so I have no intention of buying something as shitty as that for the 2nd time.

Surprise Activision doesn't just put all their games on battlenet. They'll have no trouble competing with Origin.

Hardware bans, pretty nice
>>377326496
OW, WoW and Hearthstone do fine

Battle.net is superior to Steam anyway

>>377326325
Me either, At least EA still makes games and buts them on Origin. Gabes just been sitting on his ass.

>>377326482
Are you talking about that time millions of people all tried to play a video game at once or currently?

Either way, there's something wrong with Diablo 3's servers that I never get in any other Blizzard game

Don't support Steam or Blizzard.

how is this dooming the game, retard? millions of people use battle.net every day to play overwatch, hearthstone, world of warcraft etc. you stupid ass sony niggers don't even know what battle.net is and probably have never even used it before.

>>377326675

I don't understand why can't you use both? I personally am.

That's not the /v/ way. You pick a team and stick with it forever.

>>377325906
literally the best choice they could have ever made

>>377326664
that, and i think blizz doesn't really give care about d3, so they probably put it on the shittiest servers. post launch, there were various seasons where it was unplayable. oh and the area damage causing server lag.

>destiny
I don't care because it's a shit game. It says a lot all the sonypenises are going ape shit on that whole "OMG PC U MAD XD" narrative.

>>377326997
It's still not the best shit ever by far, but since it started it has improved a lot.

Honestly laughed my ass off when they announced this. Like I guess Battle.net works and it won't really make a big difference if it's managed right, but it's funny to me that Activision's making Blizzard take up the job of managing the servers and shit. Also this'll make it to where Activision doesn't have to put the game on sale as much as it would on Steam, so the game and all those expansions and DLC packs will barely be on sale.

PC never was and will never be a convenient all-in-one smartphone-like environment. The more open it remains, the better. Think about it. It's better to have multiple platforms with multiple games than one which dictates everything from buying to how we get to play them.

Companies don't want to give Valve a cut so they do their own shit. That's how it is. Also with how crappy Steam is getting it's not a surprise. Gaben still wants people to pay for mods

>>377329020
Why would Blizzdrones even care?
It's not getting developed by Blizzard - Only published.

Overmemers will keep overmemeing.
And even if they buy it - The thing will be dead within a week because everyone will just go back to Overmeme.

Being loyal to Valve/Steam—or any corporation—is the most retarded thing. At the end of the day they're just a business and all they want is money, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a naive fanboy faggot.

Fuck Valve, fuck Steam, and fuck Gaben. And fuck Activision and Blizzard too for that matter.

Play Destiny 2 if you like having devs shit in your mouth, but literally who cares what DRM platform this game's on.

Valve hasn't released a game in 5 years for Steam. I'd rather 3rd party go battlenet, origin or MS Store.

>but but muh steam sales.

other clients do sales too, he'll EA gives you a free game every couple months.

I don't really care but I love seeing Steamcucks upset so this is a win in my book.

The first one kinda bored me so I'm not gonna get it anyways unless it's a huge step up. And if that's the case I'll just get it on PS4 anyways.

>Implying people enjoy having 10 different clients installed on their PC

I mostly use Steam and i WISH Steam would get better.
But that doesn't mean people are willing to put up with every publisher wanting to do their own thing.
Origin, Uplay and whatever also all have their own problems.

>>377325906

I'm just happy Bungie actually fucking listened to complaints and fixed shit. No more Grimoire bullshit. You can matchmake for Trials/Nightfall/Raids. New abilities for guardians (I think I spotted some ice powers in the gameplay footage). Revamped weapon system. Longer, more fleshed out story. Better exploration.

>>377329442
>scroll through thread
>literally no pcfags upset

you're retarded. Consolefags must have a short term memory because Destiny 1 was a fucking failure.

>>377329242
Not really, there's nothing they can do. Battle net is an established platform, there's no way they can convince actiblizz to use Steam instead of their platform. There's no point either.

On the plus side this means they have big plans for Destiny 2.

>>377329242
Valve will just pay some other Dev to make a knockoff of Destiny and then throw all their money behidn it turning it into the new esports shit just like DOTA

Why would Valve feel threatened by battlenet?
The game isn't even made my Blizzard, Overwatch will have people still playing it unless Blizzard drops all future updates, WoW continues to WoW, Starcraft 2 is dead, Hots is buried next to Starcraft, and everyone else continues to play Hearthstone on their phone

>>377327634
>>377328262
Yes. It's in the announcement.
You can buy it with battlebux.

>>377329718

That's not what I meant. For instance, do you think Valve will try to introduce paid mods again, when Blizzard will be right there advertising their mods for free? Now they have competition.

>>377325906
What?

>>377329567

You and me both.

I still don't see how this is a bad thing besides dealing with client problems and splitting friends lists. The latter can be """"fixed """" with discord. It's just one more program you have to install really.

>>377329869

Nope. They said that first, they are not planning on putting other third party games on battle.net for now other than Destiny 2, and second, they will only consider other Activision games.
This is just an exception.

>>377329869
Considering the last Blizzard game that used mods was SC2, I doubt that anything will change. The only thing that forces Valve to do anything is the legislation, like EU forced Valve to refund, not GOG or Origin policies on refund, despite them having it for much longer than Valve's refund program.

>>377325906

>People who aren't Blizzardfags won't get into battle.net
Are you autistic? It's a 1 minute installation, why would installing a program prevent people from getting a game they want.

Don't tell me you use game clients as a social platform please...

Do you want to share a screenshot of Destiny 2? Well too bad, there is no such function in Battle.net.
What? You want to write a review for Destiny 2? Well there is no review function either.
Do you want that skin for your Destiny 2 character? Here play 5 rounds of Hearthstone/5 rounds of HotS/a game that you previously played and disliked, but Blizzard thinks it's a good idea to make you play it anyways. Not to mention how much the real community of those games suffers because of players who don't want to play and just participate half-afk to get those skins.
I'm not making those points up, I own Diablo 3 + RoS, Starcraft 2 with all Add-Ons and occasionally I play HotS, so I got my fair share of experience with this distribution platform.

The only problem i have with that is no sale price. Overwatch is still $60 canuckbucks for a gaming running on a ftp model with less content than $10 games in the same genre or free Mobas.
I'm not paying $80 for fucking destiny. I'd wait a few years for $20 pricetag. Won't happen with battlenet.

>>377328790
Only millions of players that already use or used it will use it? HOLY SHIT, DESTINY 2 IS DOOMED.

It's just bloating up the system unnecessary.
Personally i simply don't enjoy all those programs collection and processing information non-stop in the background.

It's also a security issue. Either use the same PW for everything or risk forgetting your PWs for your least known accounts occasionally.

A friend wanted me to play Battlefield on a freeweekend with him and i couldn't get my account back because it kept saying the password is wrong. And getting that shit solved needed the support at the end because simply PW reset did not work.

Nigga like 80% of my 30+ PSN friends list plays Destiny at least two days out of the week. There isn't a single day that goes by that NO ONE on that list is playing that game.

>>377330791
Nobody plays anymore cause they stopped putting out content due to destiny 2 and new players can't easily get into it cause of all the expansions. Destiny was fun as fuck at launch and did exactly what the new CoD's were trying to do while keeping the awesome feel of how halo played. It seems like all of the complaints about the matchmaking, lfg, story, crafting, and repetitiveness has actually been answered so its pretty dumb to say that Destiny 2 is going to be shit and flop. Maybe its not your cup of tea but it won't be a shit game and it will have a pretty big community when it comes out. Not to mention PC communication tools are going to make the MMO feel a lot better than actually having to talk to people over voice chat and add them on psn/xbox live.

PC multiplayer does not exist outside of Steam except for a few exceptions.

Hell. Even the former PC-stronghold battlefield isn't getting played anymore because nobody wants to install Origin.
25,277 PC players at its peak versus 4 times as much on PS4 and even the XBONE has twice as many players.
Before Battlefield became Origin-exclusive this shit was not the case.

That's because it went from a pc focused/style of game to a CoD clone. The style of game and target demographic dramatically changed. I'm not going to argue if it's good or bad. But the audience that loved battlefield 2 would use Origin. But the community that loves Battlefield one/4 are all on console.

then you have never rifted at a moderately high level with a full party before...some of the WD builds a few seasons ago would literally grind the servers and game sessions to a halt because of the calculations. barbs still have that problem for anything that uses whirl winds.

>>377331762
No. Forge mode is a level editor that you can build your own levels and save them for use IN multiplayer. However, this only allows you access to building the levels, not playing them with other people.
