Overwatch and all these games being brought to the platform are CRAP. Yuck. Bloated and revolting. So much gfx power and hdd capacity consumed for? CRAP. Hugely inefficient for entertainment dollar.
I cannot imagine they would skip the battle.net launcher, but I would love it if they did!
EDIT: Players using Steam will have access to features of the platform while playing Overwatch 2, such as Steam achievements, their Steam friends list, and the ability to invite them to play in-game.
Dang this is looking positive.
I'm grudgingly okay with steam launching the apps specific launcher, e. g. Warframe.
I draw the line at it launching the company's own game platform. if I wanted the stupid b. net launcher I would fucking have it already, alright?!
Honestly, it should really not be an issue to have a program running. Your computer has plenty of processes running all the time.
Steam is pretty resource-heavy, but a process shouldn't need to be.
