Blizzard is ditching the Battle.net name

[QUOTE=Hanso;51088348]Yeah that sucks from a nostalgia perspective. I've known the battle.net name since I was little, playing Diablo 1.[/QUOTE]

Same here. The nostalgia is hitting me hard right now. Blizzard, Battle.net, Diablo I, Diablo II, LoD, all that, was a [I]huge[/I] part of my childhood.

I still think origin runs better than battle net and steam combined

battle.net/battlenet/bnet is a fantastic name

what are they gonna do with it? sell it? make a video game centric facebook like discord is to skype?

I'll be mad if they just totally drop it and keep the trademark or make a new game called battle net

But we're not supposed to like Origin because we don't like EA. I'd even recommend what's on there beyond the platform, if you're not the most well off then EA Access is fantastic value for money, they give free retro games every month and do regular sales that discount quite deep for a AAA studio like EA.
