Could this signal the beginning of the end of Blizzard's Battle.net app?
Blizzard Entertainment’s PC games are no longer exclusive to Battle.net. Starting with Overwatch 2, Blizzard will bring select PC games to Valve’s Steam store.

At least this is one thing that we can probably thank Microsoft for.
But honestly, this seems like a little tiny thing, but it really opens a lot of opportunities. Frankly, I often forget about my Battle.net library (and everything in it) because Steam really is the PC's one-stop-shop for my PC library, and everything that I own outside of Steam, just kind of fades away into the abyss that is my memory. Putting Blizzard's games on Steam gives them a brand-new spotlight.
And secondly: Steam Deck. Sure, you can probably fenangle the Steam Deck to allow you to install Battle.net, but this is just going to make the whole process so much easier.
