Not long after Overwatch 2 released on Steam, we now have Diablo 4 confirmed to be launching on Steam making it easier than ever to play on Steam Deck and desktop Linux.

Another Blizzard game is coming to Steam. I cannot wait until WoW is available so I do not need to use the battle.net client.

      All you have to do to test this theory out is try a Grand Theft Auto game or just go for Halo. Classic bullshit signing up for shit, having to have a secondary launcher installed. blah blah blah, yadda fucking yadda. Take your friggin’ pick. Rockstar, Microsoft, and now Blizzard. Shit’s pretty much all bought up, doesn’t mean the companies don’t act like they always have with their brands.

      Overwatch on Steam does not require b.net, so I do not see why it wouldn’t be the case with their other titles.

      I do agree with having to repurchase. I don’t really play D4, so I might just wait for a big sale if I do go with a repurchase.

          Probably not. I only got thru the first act, game just isn’t for me.

          Not sure where you get that information from

          Probably from playing it themself. Nowhere in the text you linked is stated that you need the client. Only a valid account and internet.

          So no, Overwatch 2 on Steam doesn’t require a secondary launcher. Source: me, I play it on Steam.
