Finally, battle.net client

Launches any of your games without the need to log-in/authenticate, shows your online friends, serves as a hub for news, updates your games, and possibly a chat feature is on the way, as it is still beta.

Sounds like a good piece of software to me.

Yeah but it's hard to launch Blizzard games from Origin since they're not on there.

Games shouldn't fucking need authentication every fucking time I play them anyway, No thanks.

Except it's for account security. It isn't a must to use, but it's advised. And the client speeds up the process to get through it. Convenience with security? Yes please.

well... I might let them pay me $5 to play Diablo III ..

NAHHHH... I think they would have to pay me like $20 to really get my interest in that steaming pile of garbage.

You need one client to rule them all.

You don't really need uPlay, you can have their games on Steam.

But when you launch them via Steam, uPlay starts where you can start the UbiSoft-Game..

At least From Dust and AC: Brotherhood work that way :(

Well, I don't mind if it's like that, what would bother is to open up diffrent clients to play different games.

If you log in into the client it also saves the password for that session, so you don't need to enter the autenticator code again for the games you startup. Pretty good^^

Yep, that's secure. I wonder if it's possible to mimic the login session ... since it bypasses the authenticator completely, this could make things very interesting.

That's where it fails. Where they all fail: they're exclusive, making them nothing but another piece of software that clutters your PC for how many, one, two games? Really?

If you actually play Blizzard games, the space it takes is nothing compared to the benefits it gives. as long as not every company like that, it's ok to give exclusion to some of the big ones.

Blizzard will eventually release more games, and there's also a chance they would add the older ones too.

Yes, they will release new games. At a rate as high as 3 or perhaps even 4 per decade.

old games don't work in there, ui is full of (news)feeds.
the only useful thing is authentication changes but theoretically these all could've been in the games themselves.

I personally constantly check for Diablo 3 related news, so it's good for me and many other people who care about news related to their games.

and it is a good time to collect all classic diablo and starcraft games, lol. I don't mind publishers creating their own gaming platform, so I don't feel bad that Blizzard games are not on steam. and I don't hate battle.net as well.

Seems kinda useless. It's a work around (not a solution) to a problem that shouldn't even be there... It also seems like a pretty big waste to download a whole client when they have a whole 3 games.
