If Blizzard Came to Steam

[dfcrackhead]

Do you think you'd be any more inclined to buy WoW, or any of the other Blizzard games if you could buy and direct download them from Steam and also manage your month-to-month payments on it?

Personally, even though I didn't care for WoW, I bet with those sweet ass deals from Steam I'd get suckered into buying a complete Blizz pack....

 

[Caliostro]

No. My problem with WoW isn't that it isn't on Steam, it's that it's crap. I don't see how having it on Steam would fix gameplay issues and grind, so, no.

Maybe the original Starcraft, if it came with a very nice sale... Maybe.

 

[Wolfram23]

As for WoW, I don't know. I suppose if they had a good deal on WoW and all the expansions it might get some new players.

However, SC1 and Brood Ware expansion at a cheap price would probably sell a lot. SC2 also would get huge sales.

They might also be able to release classic Blizzard games like Rock N Roll Racing.

 

[Rusman]

As an Ex WoW player I'd say no. But if maybe the old Diablo's or Starcraft (Neither of which I have played) had a good sale on then I maybe inclined to finally get them.

 

[DazZ.]

I have no problems with buying digitally from Blizzards store, so no.

Unless it was really cheap, but it's quite cheap on Blizzards as well and I guess they have deals on at times.

 

[ItsAPaul]

It'd be nice for SC2, but I can find everything from Blizzard just fine. Trust me, Walmart stocks that shit at 12:01am release day.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

It'd be nice, but only for the lazy part of me that wants one icon on my desktop for ALL my games.

 

[Daveman]

I'd buy Starcraft. I haven't actually seen any preowned copies and all my game buying is either steam or preowned at the moment.

 

[Oktanas]

If they put theire old games on steam then yes I would buy them.

 

[TOGSolid]

I already have Diablo 1 and 2. Blizzard doesn't make any other games I give a shit about so no, I wouldn't be more tempted. I don't like any of the ****craft game's gameplay and World of Warcraft is a shit game.

 

[Radeonx]

I wouldn't buy anything, because I already have Starcraft 2 pre-ordered, and own every other Blizzard game, but I'm sure it would be nice to have at one point.

 

[Hmmster]

I already play WoW so, uh.. yes?

 

[KSarty]

No, I already have all of the Blizzard games I am interested in owning and WoW isn't included in that list.

 

[Keava]

It won't happen. Acti-zzard wants to make their own steam based on Battle.Net 2.0. They are really kinda selfish guys when it comes to that. They don't even want to attend game conventions, hosting their own party instead.

 

[reg42]

Only if Steam somehow made the game more engaging.

 

[Dracosage]

No. My problem with WoW isn't that it isn't on Steam, it's that it's crap. I don't see how having it on Steam would fix gameplay issues and grind, so, no.

Maybe the original Starcraft, if it came with a very nice sale... Maybe.

Grind is the entire purpose of an MMO. Why would you take away such a thing?

 

[Tharwen]

I use Blizzard games through my Steam client anyway. It wouldn't make much difference to me.

Also, WoW couldn't work on it. Steam has no MMO integration featuress so it would just stick the community overlay on it, like it already does.

 

[The Procrastinated End]

Would that change anything? It's not like buying an actual disk for older games is hard and you can buy WoW digitally. Seems pointless to add it to steam.

 

[Krafty_Krocodile]

we would get rain! (yeah that was crap) anyways i dont see a point in downloading stuff like WoW from steam because your just adding a middle man to the situation. perhaps if they had the original Warcraft then yes it would be good.

 

[Shilkanni]

You can already buy Starcraft 2 digitally.
I would be slightly more likely to buy it if it was on Steam.
I would be significantly more likely to buy it if it was cheaper.

Ooh - I'd like if Steam & Battlenet/RealID chat was integrated.
