This is really good and really bad news.
On the plusside, it really seems like running Battle.net is not a requirement, and it just logs in the bnet account once ingame. Two thumbs up. More availability and people being able to use Steam as a somewhat sensible launcher instead of the frankly annoying Battle.net, even better.
On the downside, I guess this also confirms beyond the investors call that OW2 is bleeding players quickly - and for good reason, since they've shown they cannot handle the fundamental design changes from the switch to 5v5 at all.

Being able to play the original Warcraft again would be awesome and nostalgic.
If you mean Warcraft 2, then yes. If you mean 3, that's not possible they killed that one for the "remake".

I wonder what the playercounts will look like? It'll only capture people launching the game through Steam, of course, but I figure they'll be decently high and score among the top concurrent players anyway.
If it's anything like Path of Exile, around 60% of their playerbase uses Steam over their standalone launcher.
Great news!
Bwahahaha. I was already back and forth with wow for the longest time after wotlk but you could see the direction change and I was a huge overwatch fan. It was my new TF2. But damn it was like coming out of childhood and realizing your favorite hero was not who you thought he was. I'm still holding out hope for valve. They aren't public (I don't think) and gabe has made some very good business decisions. Not to mention the steam deck has done more to take market away from the guilt windows has on gaming. This is a wild time to be alive.

Can we have Overwatch 1 instead?
If they can do GOG I'll pick up their games, steam is ok but really I want to own my games and only GOG does that.
