Blizzard is releasing their games on Steam

[Ryzer]

Needless to say that the shiteaters on Steam will massively download Overwatch 2. It's the store where Call of duty and other shit games are in the top most played games.

The steam page mentions that you will need a bettle.net account though ,so you don't need to install the client but you still need to register

GOG would be even better but I doubt Bliz would go there anytime soon.

They do have their older games there(Warcraft 2 and Diablo 1) but it doesn't seem they are interested in releasing any newer ones there

 

[Lyric Suite]

I'd just be happy for an uncontaminated Warcraft III and maybe Diablo 2 as i didn't run that one after they released the remaster and i have no idea if they fucked that too.

 

[Pocgels]

This will get heroes of the storm out of maintenance mode and revive the moba genre

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

I'd rather MOBA stay dead and we get proper RTS games instead.

[Pika-Cthulhu]

Makes it easier for SFM artists I suppose

 

[KIss My Ass]

Sounds like a last resort after they butchered Diablo 4 a month after release.

Welcome to Steam

As of now, Overwatch 2 has 79,530 reviews. 91% of those reviews are negative.

It took the coveted number 1 ranking as the most negative rated game of all time on Steam

Valve will probably just hide the reviews like they did with Skullgirls.

Edit: they will 100% do it, most reviewers have like 10-15 minutes of in-game time, this is classified as review bombing.

That is a user setting. You can show all reviews. Many players have a lot of hours through the Blizzard launcher as the game released just a couple of days ago on Steam.

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Its disabled by default though. Most people will see the filtered reviews.

Typical game community page:

Overwatch community page:

something is missing there...
50% ass
50% tf2 characters laughing

Wake me up when they'll release a good game for a change.

Like Diablo 1 for example. Fuck, even D2 + LoD might be an improvement. Add Workshop and we've got a deal. Imagine all the D1 mods easly available on Steam... well, a guy can dream.

 

[Baron Dupek]

All I care is Warcraft 3 - shouldn't buy D2 with LoD when I had to choose back then...

You can still manually enter it https://steamcommunity.com/app/2357570/images/. Granted steam does seem to automatically censor and exclude stuff if you aren't signed in but hey it's easier than ever to enter into steam's browser.

 

[Noct]

Imagine creating one of the first big desktop launchers in Battle.net and then tanking your brand so hard that you have to put your stuff on Steam (where it's already getting ravaged by negative reviews)

So much ass, wall to wall ass. Anime ass, 3D ass, cosplay ass.

Yes, free to make mods like MOBA.

 

[Morgoth]

War3 (vanilla, not that Reforged abomination) is still MIA on GOG.

 

[Zarniwoop]

Moba is that shitty mod for Warcraft 3 right? The one millenizoomers tried to make into a "sport"?

 

[Hobknobling]

Activision-Blizzard lost their license to directly sell games in China so I think this is the way they are getting around it.

No, MOBA is what the awful company Riot started calling games that are like the WC3 map DotA.

 

[Azalin]

War3 (vanilla, not that Reforged abomination) is still MIA on GOG.

And it's tied to that Reforged crap in Battle.net so you can't just download it on its own

 

[cvv]

They would still force you to install and use their launcher though.

Yeah, this is pointless because every Blizzard game in your steam library will just be the same link to open the Battle.net launcher.

Well, at least you'll still have all your games in one library.

On the flipside, instead of one game client you'll now have running two.
