Being able to see exact number of players playing could be an interesting metric Blizz might not be wanting to share when it comes to WoW, wondering if we’ll ever see it on Steam.
It provably will require Blizzard’s launcher so why even bother?
Still easier to manage than a gazillion battlenet launcher instances on Lutris.
They already said Overwatch 2 won’t require Battle.net.
They confirmed that won’t open other launcher
“when the time is right” the article says.
So when they predict sales would increase by more than 30% I presume, if Valve still takes 40%.
When I tried to get the Xbox Indie Games XNA kit it said you got a quarter for every dollar sold on the indie games store back on the 360
They don’t. Last I checked, Valve takes 30% or less (depends on the product’s sales)
but of course, if you already bought the game on bnet, you’ll have to buy it again via steam.
Obviously won’t happen, but it would be fun to have WoW’s game time imported into Steam and watch everybody’s game time go through the roof.
I presume Diablo 4 will be next considering how many people are already playing it on Steam Deck.
