Destiny 2 Coming to Battle.net

[Wyshbonez]

Same, I don't see much of a difference between the two games.

But it gives them a chance to sell you a game for 60 and charge you another 60 for all the dlc

Why are you adding a non-Blizzard game to Blizzard's platform?
We loved Destiny and

Stop right there.

Don't see this as a bad thing really....just a really really strange move I guess.

[Onikaroshi]

I see it as a good thing. Blizzard right now says this is just for Destiny 2, but who knows. Perhaps they will expand Battle.net into a platform that can deliver games similar to Steam, Uplay, Origin, etc. I read recently about people saying Steam is too close to being a monopoly on online game delivery so Blizzard could become a competitor. I would trust Blizzard to make B.net into be a better alternative than some of the other choices I listed, and right now the Microsoft Store does not really seem to cater to gaming.



I suspect the answer would be no. It would be very awkward if you could farm one game's currency to buy real money tokens that can trade in for other games. This is not possible even between Blizzard's own games (can't trade Diablo gold for WoW game time, for example). However, B.net does have the infrastructure for in-game purchases so it's very likely Destiny 2 might have DLC that can be bought through B.net.

Actually it says right in the post that you can buy it with B.net balance

This is the end of Blizzard...

They already do that... You can buy Overwatch with WoW tokens, you can even buy all the bullshit slot machine shit in Overwatch, HotS and HS.

Yeah i'm sure it is /s

[Gorthezar]

Can't wait to buy this with some WoW Tokens.

[Mewhywhy]

Very good news, good job blizzard landing this insane game for your platform. Also tbf this is a PVE FPS with loot and shit it's nearly as if blizzard themselves made this game.

[DesoPL]

This is seriously middle finger toward Valve and EA. I said... Good riddiance for once!

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Probably wouldn't of done this if Blizzard wasn't connected to Activision at all.

[alanium]

I don't know why they are trying to sugar coat the reason why they are adding it. Blizzard is activision. Destiny is an activision game.

[Guyon]

What you don't do for money.......

[salnjoffy]

"This is the end of Blizzard..."

Why on Earth would you think that?

[Master Guns]

ROFL@ people saying

DESTINY TWO IS JUST LIKE DESTINY ONE LOL

Yeah..cuz you played it? Idiots.

[alanium]

well saying that coming to battlenet, clearly activision own them

Can't get one past you.......

[Easo]

Totally unexpected, but I can go with it.

[Master Guns]

Good luck trying to compete with Steam.

Everyone: "Why are you adding a non-Blizzard game to Battle.net?"
Blizzard: "Because we love Destiny!"
Everyone: *blank stare* "... right"

Lol? Destiny isn't available for Steam. ONLY Blizzard.

[Alvito]

Great now DDOS bnet shuts down more games and picks up more people willing to try to do it.

[Suru]

Probably because all blizzard games got a certain blizzard-touch to it that other game developers can't even dream of making.
When you start to mix other games from other developers into the game-launcher and other stuff the whole thing will loose much of its quality. That is if you believe the classical rule of quality before quantity.

I also see this as a bad sign. Might be wrong tho

Affect the launcher sure. I can't see how this would affect the quality of blizzard's own games though.
