No. I think it simply won't have a name. You just play multiplayer online and that's it, like how there's no name for the single player service. It's understandable but I like Battle.net and will continue to call it that. | ||

I think because of the confusion about bnet 1.0 and 2.0, it merges to "Blizzard Launcher" (Bnet 2.0 functionality) and we can play D2 LoD HD, D1 HD, WC3 HD and SC:BW HD on "Blizzard Launcher". | ||

Was there ever confusion though? It was always Battle.net for Blizzard and the names completely belong together. Even for people who are new and never visited a forum or anything for the game they are playing, it's not hard to see that this is the platform for the game and the platform's name obviously isn't the company's name. From the way I see it, the move is partly to increase the Blizzard brand (make it more visible) and partly to say: "Hey, you guys are too dumb to see that this belongs to us". | ||

It wasn't uncommon to read posts on the Battle.net forums that said "BNET FIX UR GAME", "I HAVE BEEN A BNET CUSTOMER FOR YEARS" and so on. | ||
