During Bungie's Destiny 2 gameplay reveal live stream, Activision announced a partnership with Blizzard that will make Destiny 2 available digitally on PC exclusively through Blizzard's Battle.net service.
Sounds odd and I'm sure doesn't make sense to all, but my only grievance with Bnet is that I can never show myself as "offline" to others while playing. It was said this would be implemented ages ago, but has since been scrapped.
I mean Activision and Blizzard is one company but still wut... why?
Its a Bungie developed game with a partnership with Activision for publishing... so why no Steam release also?
I mean.... yeah this makes sense when you realize that Activision wants full control over it on PC.
I would pay a sub if the game is optimized to run on lesser hardware and the game has a superb playerbase!! no bugs , no server issues! and regular content patches.
This is really smart, Blizz has a great social/login platform. Instead of building a new one why not just use the subsidiaries tried and true platform. This will save millions of dollars.
Starting to make sense why battle.net was renamed to just Blizzard and Blizzard app now. Going to start being used as an all around service to compete with Steam, Origin, uplay, etc.
Why are people saying it doesn't make sense? Activision owns a part of Blizzard right? They are just using their inhouse DRM platform so they don't have to pay the publishing fee on Steam.
Ehhhh this is not good. The battle.net program is not a store front, it's a game launcher meant for Blizzard games.
This is really stupid, leave it to the suits who are completely out of touch from their target demographic to screw things up - it's what they've done best to the video game market for a while now, lol.
So pumped for this. Spent hundred of hours on this game for ps4. just read this article too. 4k support un capped frames and 21:9. take my money pleeeeaazzz. this games gonna look bananas on pc
I bought a PS4 just to play this. It was worth it 10 fold. The raids and PVP (Trials of Osiris) keep bringing me back. The lore is absolutely amazing because its such a mystery. I cant say enough good things about Destiny. Ill be playing on both PS and PC. Also, the community is the cherry on top, great group.
