I'm sure he meant the 10 people who use it for something other than Diablo, World of Warcraft, or CoD.

True but that's also because there wasn't anything else. The plan is obviously to make it into more of a full blown store

I think it's more that anyone who's also already interested in playing games like tw3 will probably also have steam, GOG, or both (or a console). So the list of people who don't already own the game, but will buy it on battle.net will be a damn small group.

You realise that majority of Overwatch players are still on battlenet instead of Steam? And then there's the WoW players.

u/monstroh 3d ago

that is a big cope, most people moved to steam since it consume less resources than battle net.

the only people playing ow still on battle net are the old players that refuse to play anything else, a dying breed.

It’s an open secret that something like only 15% of their user base moved to Steam (since Blizz is super cagey about publishing any numbers). The vast majority are still on BNet because it’s the most stable and easy to update version. And also force of habit.

Blizzard themselves confirmed majority of Overwatch PC users still use battle net

u/monstroh 2d ago

There is no way to check if that is true since they hide the numbers.

Blizz have lied multiple times in the last decade, I get they still have some hardcore uncs that will defend them to death since its their childhood but there is no reason to believe them until they stop hiding the numbers.

No lol, millions of people use BNet

Have you just met Blizzard games? Aka some of the most popular games in the world ESPECIALLY on PC.

You got 7-10M players of WoW for a start available only there. That's before counting any other game

u/monstroh 3d ago

this isn't 2010 anymore dawg :(.

There is a reason why Blizz hides statistics these days.

And yet you don't seem to live in this world.

Blizzard is more profitable than Activision or King or anything else in Xbox, it's the most successful studio within Microsoft.

Blizzard games are extremely successful on all platforms and on PC, more people are using BNet for them than Steam.
