Battle.Net has been added to Steam's default install package, Activision Blizzard may rerelease and release future titles on Steam going forward.

Does this mean we will have to use Battle.net to launch MW2 despite buying on Steam, like with EA and Origin or Ubisoft and their launcher? I hate that.

looking at the dates, this could also be bethesda related, when they migrated bethesda keys to steam

 

[GhostTrick]

I think that's Bethesda.net ?

Yeah that's what it looks like. Would make sense for friend list reasons and item shops

BNET Key is Bethesda not Battlenet.

 

[Wesker]

nvm

 

[Aangster]

Yeah I think these are Bethesda.net keys.

Hope Activision/Blizzard games come to Steam without Battle.net involved.

I only have Battle.NET installed for Overwatch, really, and I don't use the social features there anymore.

I'd welcome this.

While these are for Bethesda, battle.net might follow soon.

 

[Mivey]

agree with everyone that this is very likely bethesda.net
