It came to Steam because of the Microsoft buyout. Same with Diablo 4.

    You still have to install that annoying Blizzard launcher, I guess?

    What do you find annoying with Battlenet? It's no worse than Steam.

    I'm okay with steam because:

    • basically everyone can sell their games on Steam (*conditions apply)
    • it has a (working) offline mode
    • they're putting a lot of effort into gaming on Linux
    • family sharing
    • it let's me integrate external games

    The Blizzard launcher is just for the few games Blizzard is selling. It asked me to go online way too often. Maybe every single time, I don't remember exactly. It's a bit like that Rockstar launcher. I don't see any value in it besides auto updates.
