Do we need to purchase again?

[MaCE]

Or can we claim the Steam version after linking Battle.net account with Steam?

Blizz going to make me buy a game I already bought before. Wow, that is infuriating.

Or you could, you know, just play it on Battle.net as you have already done up to now (and how you would have expected it to stay since you couldnt know they will release it on Steam).
Seriously, why are people acting as if they lose access to the game they bought or will get "inconvinienced" (is that a word?) just because they dont get it for free on Steam?

Well, guess will buy it as a gift to a friend with the sole condition to give it a well deserved negative review here.

Btw, game is trash. Don't expect end-game content. It's a cheap cash grab season pass mode like any random mobile game. Avoid if you're a true Diablo fan. 99.4% player base is gone and that's the only reason it'll be on Steam. They're desperate. Many claim Diablo IV is already the Biggest failure in video games history.

I would've waited to buy it if I knew it was going to be on steam this soon, shame.

Look at who makes this game, and then I give you three guesses, but you're only going to need one.

Of course, you need, but this is Steam policy.

No, it's not, a lot of games allowed you to transfer your CD-Key from another platform to Steam, this is BLIZZARD'S policy, don't spread misinformation, please.

You will need to purcahse a steam version but once purchased you can link in to Battlenet. Taken from the first update on the store page:

Those wanting to play on Steam will need to first purchase the game on that platform, then connect Diablo IV to a Battle.net account (as we require for all platforms). This enables cross-platform play and more. Players using Steam will have access to features specific to that platform, such as Steam achievements, their Steam friends list, and the option to invite those friends to play in-game. We’re looking forward to seeing more defenders of Sanctuary band together and welcome any feedback you may have.

They transferred over Destiny from Battle.net to Steam when the game wasn't free to play yet, so technically it is possible.

Destiny 2 was a very unique situation because Bungie and Activision broke off their partnership / contract. Bungie migrated all Battle.net licenses to Steam. This is not the case with Blizzard games on Steam.
