FYI: Always online, even in single player. Game will be useless once Activision turns off the authentication servers.

The guy in the game really looks like Tony Hawk, weird coincidence.
Not sure if I want to buy it to support games coming to steam or skip it after it took so long.

Skip it because it's an always online singleplayer game.
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.
