I didn't warn you. No need to get defensive.

It looks like you got warned for triple-posting (don't keep spamming posts) and going ultra-hard on politics where there is none. Not everything has a political agenda. Occam's razor.

Yeah dropping battle.net makes perfectly sense. It was obsolete like most posters in these forums are. I hope I could have made this clear now. All is fine, there is nothing to be discussed. I hope everybody likes me. Bye, hug and big kiss!

They decided to keep the name after all: http://mashable.com/2017/08/15/blizzard-battle-net/#izX9uME9IiqB See an obsolete poster like me can be useful!

But I think we may have just been trolled hard. Well played sir.

the Desktop Client has 2 sections now. Namely, (1) Blizzard and (b) Activision. Because it has these 2 named sections the old name Battle.Net is more neutral. if it were called the "Blizzard App" there would be the perception that Destiny2 and Activision is the red-headed step child of the "Blizzard App".

[image loading]

COMBINE the above reality with the grassroots outcry of ultra long term customers... and this is the result. Battle.Net lives.
anyhow, that's my conspiracy theory.

Yeah, I can imagine a lot of kids whining "It's no longer Blizzard's, it's ActivisionBlizzard's Battle.net and not Blizzard's Battle.net now.

All this discussion makes me wonder if we'll ever see use of Riot Games' PVP.Net and we didn't see much competition from Arena.net

zero kids are whining about it.. but Bungie sure is...they already had to abandon 6v6 mode.

I've seen some people whine about it before, I think the concern I heard the most is that people didnt want the battle.net client to have a million installments of call of duty
