Why should I pay for this twice?

[Yorick]

I'd like to get it for free on steam because I own cold war, vanguard and mw19 on battlenet.
It's not fair.

lol

Just run it from bnet?

[Lar Dass]

just hope that bnet is removed and any titles on there are also on steam for free with an "add to account" option
since you can link your steam account with battlenet it is very possible for this to happen
that said, they would need to add bo4 to steam and mw2 remastered for this to work

None of them require you to have a Battle.net account. Just an Activision account.

true, an acti/cod account which registered you as having owned bocw on pc could definitely warrant you to get it on any pc marketplace for free especially if bnet does get taken out

You don't have to. Play on battle.net

Separate platforms. Valve needs their money when you buy the game.

It is 100% up to Activision if they want to give away the game to owners of the games on Battle.net . Valve has zero say in the matter.

I'm thinking about just buying it again to switch over to steam since it's currently on sale. The only 2 games I own on battle.net are this and Overwatch.

Lol no, that would be illegal and they would be sued. They can't give the game away for free on a separate platform. No company will allow that

It is not illegal to do that. Electronic Arts does this with quite a few titles. Older titles but still, they do.

Valve doesn't give two poops about it.

You just don't know how it works and that's fine.

You might as well. Just make sure your Steam and Activision accounts are linked on Activision's website.

Battle.net isn't going away just because you don't like it.

Bethesda's launcher wasn't old and didn't have their biggest money makers like, WoW, Starcraft and Overwatch on them.

Is that true? Or is that the hypothetical if battle.net shut down?
