you guys are missing one thing
many games on Steam are cracked with Steam Emulation, using Blizzard B.Net system for their login systems (and probably game initialization) will increase alot of their chance of the game not being cracked and this is the most important aspect for them (not the chat between games crap lol)
These large scale production games where their marketing gets ahead of their vision resulting in a downward trend from day one.
The solution?
Make a second one and do it again....
Whats Battle.net? Only got some Blizzard App now.
This is setting a very bad and annoying precedent. I already didn't want to have to use battle net launcher in the first place, but now you're shoving non blizzard games down our throats as well.
Its bad enough that every company has its own launcher for there games these days, but now you're combining other random games that aren't even connected to the blizzard universe of games.
This has nothing to do with getting Destiny out for people to enjoy sooner - its entirely a ploy to cut corners on development costs to rush the release for $. Really irritating.

I'm not really bothered by the news itself.
But I am bothered by the way they answered the "why". It is so darn obvious that this has nothing to do with "oh, no, we really love destiny". It's just a way for Activision to skip third parties like steam.
I hate Destiny. It is my least favorite game I've ever played. It was a bigger let down than believing anything Molyneux would say when he was at Lionhead. I don't want to see any ads for. I don't want to see mention of it on a platform it was never supposed to be on.
If that was indeed the case, why are we not seeing massive games like CoD on the platform?
The reason why the game is integrated onto the b.net platform is because the gameplay is similar to every other Blizzard games - in fact I remember reading an article from Kotaky from a few years ago, explaining how Bungie called upon the developpers of D3 (who worked on the xpac) to help them make meaningful design decisions.
I frankly believe it's not just Activision using this as their own personal platform, but instead Blizzard expanding their launcher to fit with products which has the same philosophy.

Ok, so then it is your own personal problem and not an actual problem. For a second I thought you had a legitimate concern and weren't just being a whiney brat about something you literally have next to no info on other than Blizz is hosting social features for a sequel game you clearly don't like.
I would prefer for blizz to move its games to steam instead of activision moving them to bnet I got over 5000 games on Steam... annoying if they keep this up..
Gonna be honest, i hope more games pop up, but games that im interested in, because i could buy them with my craptons of wow gold, :P
Ain't gonna buy this, but its an interesting thing.
Well, atleast this explains the influx in RNG the last couple of patches, I suppose... Cannot have 2 competing MMO-type games with one being less RNG driven, now can we? /s
More ads for my warcraft launcher, "yay"
