Players will still need a Battle.net account, however

          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’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?!

          another motherfucking program running in the background taking resources (it may not be that much, but it’s still something. And when gaming, every resource counts!)

          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.
