Not to sound doom gloomy here, but my reasons for ditching Blizzard games were absolutely not the launcher. I don't think I'll be going back to Overwatch or anything else in their portfolio because of my issues with game development/marketing (PvE in OW2 promises vs. reality, Warcraft 3 Reforged debacle, etc.).

That said, for anyone who still is up on Blizzard properties, having platform choice is always nice. I still play a ton of Apex Legends and love that it's available via Steam rather than just EA's launcher, for example.

Overwatch 2 Launches in August 10th

@cloudsheep0 That was one of my hopes! This is so great.

Do people still play Overwatch?!?

Went from YAY to aww real quick reading i still need a Blizzard account

I'm not fond of blizzard and I think overwatch 2's time has long since passed so I'm not sure how helpful this will be

But I still play hearthstone and I sincerely think that it's the best the game has ever been so hopefully a steam release is a second wind for the game. Not that it's dead by any means but I'd love for it to feel like a popular game again
