Gas them all

While what that guy wrote is a bit retarded.

I would agree with not wanting to turn the blizzard launcher into another steam equivalent. It just does not work well enough.

Also i feel like this is more blizz feeling the heat from the ocmpetition because blizz games have been losing the quality they once had.

This is what happens when you get gobbled up by a big named publisher. Quality goes right out the window and the only thing that matters is shoving shit out as fast as possible to meet quotas and quarterly reports. Same shit happened to Bioware.

I fully for it - but only IF Blizzard lets the games on there use their cheat detection + use the same policies on anti-cheat as the other blizzard games.

That's the best thing about Blizzard imo.

Starcraft II still has map hacks, how many years of competitive multiplayer?

You know that activision never bought blizzard, instead blizzards previous owner bought activision and fused the two?
Also, activision is not even half of what blizzard is, financially?

Everything bad that happened to blizzard was blizzards doing, not activisions.

Dumb thread.
It's Bungie. Everyone knows what Halo is. It's honestly a brilliant move. It's free advertisement, especially for former console only players who haven't heard of battle.net (which is why they rebranded it)
It could become worrying in the future, but I don't foresee that happening. I find half of blizzards current catalogue barely playable casual crap, but they know how to market. We're not seeing cod or FIFA anytime soon (who makes FIFA anyway?), unless blizzard starts dying, which I think it will die after Activision does.
Battle.net is notable for being the only DRM service that just werks and it's still retained some semblance of community. Even steam is a flaming pile of shit nowadays.
Personally, I plan to play destiny 2, it would be nice to have a Fps that doesn't handle like ass like almost everything recently (exception being Titanfall 2, and I fucking installed shitty origin for that), so battle.nets just a bonus. Worst case scenario, you right click the icon once and hide it. I'm honestly saltier about rebranding from battle.net than about this.

The detection might be wonky, but when you're banned for life you stay banned for life.

Fanboys that are protective of a brand name find out Actvision owns everything they care about.

Reality just kicked in I guess.

>>377585158
Only half right. While you're correct that Vivendi merged the two. Shortly after the merger, Activision bought themselves out, and with it took Blizzard with them. Activision however owns Blizzard out right, so they very much do have the ability to dictate to Blizzard what they do. Thats the point of this thread. Activision forcing Blizzard to host their games on Blizzard's launcher.

Why does it matter? It just uses the damn launcher. You can even remove games from displaying in it.

I'll ask this here, but is it really true that you can use WOW Gold to buy games like Destiny 2, WOW subs? How does that work? I haven't played WOW in years.

>>377587339

You can use your in game WoW gold at the Auction House to buy a subscription token which then you can redeem for 30 days of WoW sub or to add 14,99 balance to your blizz wallet.

>not even Blizzdrones want it

Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

>>377587474
Wow. Do you need lots of Gold? I might start WOW again and use that for monthly subs.

>>377585062

Well its the one and only competitive RTS out there, ofc there will be attempts at cheating. Blizz still stays on top of it most of the time more so than other companies and they ban for life.

>>377587767
Just go on ebay and look up how much gold you would get for 15 bucks. The token costs somewhere around that price. As for the farming part, making gold is easy once you understand how to work with auctioneer. I personally haven't payed for wow in months.
