Blizzard has probably crunched the numbers and realized that the income they will lose to the 30% Steam cut (or maybe they negotiated a better deal) is worth it for the extra players it will bring in. This is nothing more than a numbers crunching game for profit. “Breaking down barriers” and whatever else they say in the article is just the usual PR bullshit.

I haven’t touched a Blizzard game in years and won’t start now.
I do wonder if M$ might take some of the blizzard IP that have been stagnant and give them to some of their studios to give a try with.
