This can be summed up as change is bad, but in case you can't figure out why it changed, it's because Activision wants to use the Bnet launcher as their PC platform, like origin/epic games store/steam. The old interface really wasn't conducive to that, it was really only designed to "fit" blizzards catalog.

The only best thing is I can get rid from Activision trash games from list. Also they ruined background logo of all games, it doesn't look appealing at all.

I think it's pretty good. There's some things that are better than before, and a few worse.

Crash Bandicoot 4? Activision really should fuck off, I'm not 10 year old kid anymore.


Most edgy anti-change comment so far. Imagine the millions of people who might enjoy Crash Bandicoot especially due to the nostalgia. Even though they are much older than 10. Not everyone is as cool as you and won't play games that are also appealing for kids.


I've used the launcher for a while (via the beta option) and it does its job: show you who is online and start SCR. Only thing I'm not a big fan of is the way the chats changed. But that's really not that big of a deal either. Takes just a few days to get used to and then you barely remember there was a change.

I tried that for a while. Just annoying to have to update b.net everytime you want to update starcraft (since u never use it its always out of date). I just gave up and started using their shitty launcher.

Worst thing to ever happen to pc gaming is this current aids of having to use launchers to play games, dos times were idd so much better.

Well starcraft (atleast in my memory) always been a game that used launchers. iccup launcher. chaos launcher. wlauncher and the great MCAlauncher. that combined wlauncher + iccup + streaming. The difference here is that the blizzard launcher is not that interesting if u dont own other games or use the social features.

Why did no one mention that it actually shows you nothing but the games you actually own in the Game Bar on the Top? Which is less advertisement in the end. You can also click on All Games and it no longer shows you the other games in the centre

(Battle.net) Launcher was one of the best things that happend. No longer manual login in X amount of games. Two clicks, done. Just Perfect


That may be true if you only play their games (and I guess acitivion now as well). If you only use battle.net for one blizzard game (e.g. starcraft), its the exact same as before, just that you have to go through their launcher (which requires constant updates) instead of just launching the game. Its just an unnecessary piece of bloatware.

Granted starcraft always used "launchers" but none of those required any kind of login or constant updates. They just added one click to launching your game and actually provided very useful features instead of merely wasting your time.

I would very much so prefer if starcraft would just prompt you to update when you launch it manually and then open a browser to download the patch the old school way. It'd allow me to just get rid of the battle.net app that I literally only use to update starcraft, but forces blizzard advertisement + battle.net app updates on me.

Is this some kind of Mandela effect or what? I always thought the same thing. Maybe it was a witch but was changed?
