It seems clear that there are many current publisher businesses to no longer rely on the digital platform of a million PC gamers - Steam from Valve. Despite the fact that a large number of potential users to become their market prospects are offered here, but the opportunity to release and "sell" their own portals seems to be a bigger temptation to deny. EA does it via Origin, Ubisoft via uPlay, and Blizzard via Battle.net. For this last name, considering he stood under the same flag as Activision, he also started to be directed as their multiplayer based game portal. As an example? Destiny 2. Given this concept will also be carried by the latest series Call of Duty - Black Ops 4, then there is something inevitable.
As they did with Destiny 2, Activision will also carry the same policy with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. True, multiplayer-based action game that will also offer a battle-royale mode called "Blackout" is certainly ONLY to be released via Battle .net for PC version. Black Ops 4 will be integrated with all the social features of Battle.net, including friends list and chat. This PC version is also certainly not going to come with a locked framerate and support up to 4K resolution. This will be the first exclusive Call of Duty series for Battle.net.
Like Destiny 2, COD: Black Ops 4 PC version will only be available via Battle.net exclusively. Activision confirmed no Steam version.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 itself is scheduled to be released on October 12, 2018. What about you, PC gamers? Is the exclusive nature of Battle.net and not available via Steam will this affect your buying intentions?
