This'll be nice. I refused to play blizz games based on their conduct with women and I didn't want their launcher on my pc.

The company that makes Doom lets you use steam and allows you to transfer your data.

I wonder what the playercounts will look like? It'll only capture people launching the game through Steam, of course, but I figure they'll be decently high and score among the top concurrent players anyway.

I'm actually looking forward to checking it out on Steam, then I don't have to fiddle around anymore with Lutris on my Linux box and I can just use Proton normally within Steam itself.

Being able to play the original Warcraft again would be awesome and nostalgic.

Great news!

Bwahahaha. I was already back and forth with wow for the longest time after wotlk but you could see the direction change and I was a huge overwatch fan. It was my new TF2. But damn it was like coming out of childhood and realizing your favorite hero was not who you thought he was. I'm still holding out hope for valve. They aren't public (I don't think) and gabe has made some very good business decisions. Not to mention the steam deck has done more to take market away from the guilt windows has on gaming. This is a wild time to be alive.

Just Overwatch 2?

Can we have Overwatch 1 instead?

I've been boycotting Blizzard since the bNetd bullshit.

Glad Steam lets you block entire publishers.

I wonder how this decision relates to the Microsoft acquisition.
