Battle Net Owners

[Abyss]

Will there be any way to transfer the purchase from Battle Net account into Steam? Perhaps linking both accounts and contacting support?

Personally I would prefer to own it here and wouldn't have pre ordered it elsewhere if I knew it was gonna come to steam a couple of months later.

No, and if you buy the game on Steam after owning it on B net, it will just load the game through B Net anyway, which means you gave them money for nothing. Absolutely predatory. I wouldn't have preordered the game if I would have known it was going to release on steam, either.

While Blizzard is known for their "absolutely predatory" decisions, I would not lump this one in the same bag.

Remember that Steam takes a 30% revenue cut, and I don't think they would just allow people to freely receive a copy of a game on Steam that they bought on another platform for free.

It will never happen but i think they should give us the owners the steam version as payment for beta testing the game for steam release.

If you buy the game here too, it will transfer the progress from Battle.net. That's the good thing, the bad thing is that you have to get it here.

they already scammed you guys, thats why it was only sold on the blizzard store first and after they grabbed all the sales on their store, they release it on steam, to coax you into buying it on steam.... where you would have bought it in the first place, this way they are getting a full price purchase and soon to be a second smaller purchase due to steams %30 cut.

im surprised people dont catch onto the predatory nonsense (among all the other nonsense) they do, seems some people would just rather throw away their money for bad games, ignoring everything wrong with the games or the company/devs who make them.

Wait til you get enough Diablo points that "Activate premium" button gets accidentally pushed without any prompt popup, that's on purpose and predatory.

ya not completely true. for both. while for alot of smaller devs and companys steam does take 30% they did add ways to have it lowered for companys that games sell. as for the second part there are sites like humble were steam sees not money from yet allows the game to be redeemed and used via steam. for those wounding chances are you will just need to add the game yourself via the add game feature.

I would.

We who owned Fallout 76 on the Bethesda.net client, got a free steam key back in the day.

There is no excuse.

Except, being already an owner on battle net, if I buy the game on steam, it will log in through my battle net, which I already own the game on, thus making the second purchase pointless. I would never have purchased the game on battle net had I known it was coming to steam. There isn't a single blizzard game on Steam, so It was safe to assume D4 wouldn't be either.

Adding the game with the "add game" feature doesn't keep track of hours, doesn't have achievements, doesn't allow steam friends to play said game with me. It was absolutely predatory for them to release on Steam. They knew they were going to have a steam release before the game came out. It wasn't a spur of the moment decision. They did it to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. And by ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I mean anti-consumer, untrustworthy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. They know 90% of their PC fanbase ALSO plays on steam, and would PREFER their games on Steam. This ♥♥♥♥ was a giant middle finger, and I hope the game doesn't sell a single copy on steam, though I know some dimwits will still do it. The idiots that buy CoD every year will be the same ones that don't see an issue with this.

Also The Sims 4 purchases are cross platform between Steam and Origin, imagine being greedier than EA...

But it's not another platform, pleb. It's another launcher. The platform is PC.

No. It's like to buy some movie on amazon prime and ask to watch on apple tv.
I think you can get it.

You don't need the Battle net launcher if you buy it on Steam. You just need your Battle net account and Steam account to be linked.

Why not just leave it uninstalled on battle.net where it belongs?
