And i dont know but probably some business decision im sure and nothing to do with cheaters

Because Blizzard and Activision merged (A good while ago) Now they don't need to give a sales cut to Valve if they just sell through their own platform.

Hmm... have 1 million copies sold and give 30% to Steam or sell a fraction of that on your own platform and have all the money to yourself. Yeah, the second option seems way better.
Activision and this PC dev team honestly don't know what they're doing. Not only did they remove it from the biggest gaming platform on PC, but they also removed AA so now the game will have even less people playing. I don't think it would have been hard to actually make AA feel good and fair, but no they just removed it. Meanwhile BO3's AA is still stupidly broken and will lock onto enemies while not even ADSing and sometimes through cover as well. Nice.

Nailed it.

Steam takes a YUGE cut of profits from every sale. This is just easy money for game developers large enough to distribute digitally themselves.

i see so basically Blizzard will charge a lower royality fee, maybe 10% or so, if Steam charge 30% then the devs are saving alot of money which will be huge if sales go into the millions.

I get it, I thought they were fed up with steam not sorting out the cheating issues....

Activision and Blizzard's parent company merged- so basically, Activision and Blizzrd are the same company. It has nothing to do with cheating, it has everything to do with elliminating the middleman which is Steam.

I predict over the next few years most major titles will be produced and distributed by the same companies, in a similar way of Activision/Blizzard and Steam will be out of the picture. I imagine Steam only distributing green light and no name titles... unless of course, Steam/Valve releases some major titles.

Steam is not doing anything amazing or groundbreaking these days, in fact, IMO they are falling behind- they still need to shutdown once a week for maintenance... and its 2018.

"falling behind"

good meme, they don't shutdown because of how bad the servers are, they do it on purpose to maintain the quality of the service. Servers need a reboot, no matter what. Doing it consistently helps keep the system in check.

Hmm... I wonder how every other gaming site, banking websites, amazon and other cloud services, etc., etc. can maintain their servers without weekly scheduled downtime. Maybe because these other places have an infrastructure design that is more modern and resilient and can do live snapshots of data and failover without interrupting services for their customers. But what do I know...

Then complain to steam instead of crying on the forums with your all powerful knowledge. Also how could you possibly compare steam to banking and amazon where millions of dollars can be lost for being down for a short while. You need to do some more research sir.
