Great news for Linux users! Bnet was one of the better launchers, but having a launcher for 5 games is a bit silly.
There's nothing stopping them from pulling of a Rockstar move and still requiring you to use a launcher when you start the game in Steam.
So far that is not the plan - they could change it of course I'm sure, but it won't be this way at launch.
Yeah, but it's a bit easier to install the game directly from Steam instead of installing Bnet as a non Steam game and then downloading the game on Bnet.
