Doesn’t matter the reviews or review bombing to Blizzard. The fact remains that no matter how actually shitty the game is Blizzard is making record profits off of the game.

That’s all Blizzard looks at these days. Is it making them money? And the answer is an abundant yes. So for whatever hate there is, the fact that players are still handing them fistfuls of cash indicates full success to them.

If they're making record profits why did they decide to come to steam?

I think their player numbers have dropped and they're trying to boost them.

More money.

That's literally any of this is lol

Steam takes 30%. If they thought they could drive people to their standalone launcher they would be doing that

I don't think that is correct; Steam usually takes 30%, but I thought some of the larger publishers negotiated different (secret) rates.
