It was so unpopular it fell off the board. It's in the onboard archives. That's more embarrassing. At least reposting shit the mods have nixed means there could have been people interested in the thread. This shit barely got 20 replies before page 10.

Don't count of it. It's just a way for Activision to maximize Destiny's sales using the Blizzard app as a permanent advertising for those who play Overwatch, Diablo etc and watch the launcher everyday. It's also an audience that likes loot based games, so it's a good move.

>>377591168
Honestly I just like watching people be scared and uncertain, especially over trivial stuff like this.

There really isn't anything, that's what makes it so great to watch them squirm. I'd feel bad if they were upset about something that actually mattered, but considering how meaningless getting worried about this change is I can go full schadenfreude without a hint of guilt. Don't bother trying to figure out their reasoning, just enjoy the show.

where?

At least Bungie is not pushing their own platform. And I wholeheartedly understand why they don't want to rely on steam for distribution. 30% is a lot you know.

Next thing they'll do is start selling CoD to overfags.

>>377591112

I am not saying Steam is a monopoly. But they sure come close. Remember when Origin was launched? Oh boy. If it wasn't headed by EA, and wasn't such total shit, I think it would have been more welcome. And then Ubisoft starts shitting all over the place creating a mindset that games need to stay on the publishers platform. Competition is sorely needed in digital distribution. IMO Battle.net has the potential to actually be a contender and just maybe usher in a new era of digital distribution.

Every big publisher has their own launcher, would be stupid to think Activision wouldn't make use of the one Blizzard already made.

Cayde or Oryx in HoTS could theoretically happen and it's exciting to think about how many Blizzdrones would throw tantrums over that, considering that a lot of them don't even want Overwatch characters there.

How can one fanbase be so sheep?
If Blizzard developed the game instead of Bungie they would all cum inside their pants over it.

It's fucking over, blizzard just went full cuck.

>>377591230
They also don't have to play 30% volvotax. It's pretty weird that all Activision's games aren't already there. I guess online play would have complications if some players were on Bnet and others on Steam.

>>377592634
but he does have a point though, blizzard just renamed battle.net to the Blizzard app, then the first thing that is announced after is that destiny 2 will be sold on the blizzard app.
I dont really care either way, its just funny how you try to rebrand your launcher to make it connect with your company then instantly start selling other developers games.

>>377592634

Why would I go to the Blizzard forums? I don't even own a fucking Blizzard account, every since they got bought out by Activision their output has been pure trash.

Activision yanking their new releases from Steam and publishing them through their b.net launcher will suck for Gaben. I wouldn't notice much since I don't play yearly installments of Run n Shooty Cawadooty or Rockstar, though. What else does Activision publish? I don't think I own anything of theirs in my Steam library.
Blizzdrones should've expected this to be coming. All of old Blizzard devs have left, even old Metzen finally got off his rocker and went to the retirement home after he pushed out WoW: The Movie. With Overwatch being their most successful game released in the last 10 years now it's obvious Bobby Kotick would begin to bring other shootans to the Blizzard audience since the Blizzard audience obviously love shootans.

>>377592713
I never seen such freak show in dota 2 or counter-strike communities. I had my share on league forums back in 2011, but even there people didn't really gave a shit when chinese overlord got Riot. I feel like blizzard attracts very special kind of people.

To be fair, many people have used this same criticism for Steam. It used to have quality control standards. Now days though? in 2016 they released 40% of all games on Steam. Let that sink in. And unlike Biizz, they have made 0 themselves in that time.

What the fuck, how does this affect anyone. Everyone who cares about this, either positive or negative needs to uncuck themselves.

>>377590841
There is no competition. They've already stated on the announcement itself that this is an extreme one time exception, simply made because most of Blizzard -LOVES- Destiny and Bungie. They have zero intentions to allow other non-Blizzard games on their platform, right now at least.

>>377594761
>They've already stated on the announcement itself that this is an extreme one time exception, simply made because most of Blizzard -LOVES- Destiny and Bungie.

LMAO, you are ultra fucking naive.

This is happening because Activision owns both battle.net and Destiny. There is NO other reason.

>>377590246

>Literally nobody that's normie tier can comprehend business and game industry savvy

I'm 100% certain Activision are going with Blizzard not for the 30% sales cut, but for the loot box sales that would bypass Steam's Key and Crate tax

I mean, imagine being able to buy chests without needing keys on Steam, bypassing the market, but still restricting players to untradeable random lucky dips

>>377590246
Slows is in for a rude awakening when all of Actvision ends up under the Blizzard launcher.

>>377592813
so what? they still have to cut the revenue with Valve, no matter how expensive the games are

And it's not like Battle.net has much better prices, when's the last time Battle.net sold game keys first hand on a sale? The only difference is that this is already the same business group so they get 100% of the profits, Activision and Blizzard are literally parts of the same corporation

From a business perspective this is long over due

It seems weird that Blizzard is doing this now when Windows 10 S is going to be released in the not too distant future and make the whole idea of third party stores on Windows obsolete.

Unlike Valve who have been preparing for this inevitability for years now, Blizzard has been doubling down on Windows with many of their newer games not even having Mac versions.

>>377602209

I was under the impression Blizzard has never done digital discounts. even when you could probably still walk into a Gamestop and discover they have those fucking Warcraft War Chests covered in dust in their stock rooms that packaged most of Blizzard's games in for one dollah. It's like Blizzard has always wanted you to buy physical, not digital.

>>377603472
Why the fuck would Blizzard be worried about a windows version that's specifically for schools?

>>377603543
Do you seriously believe that? This 'its only for schools' argument is just the thin edge of the wedge designed to make you ignore it till its too late.

10 S is the future of Windows, its the only way they can survive as a business and increase revenue in the modern era of dirt cheap computing devices.
Sellilng OEM licenses just isn't viable anymore. In a couple of years the vast majority of prebuilt Windows systems will be using 10 S. I won't be surprised at all when Microsoft makes it the only distributed version with subscription based upgrades within the Windows Store.
