Logging Off: Blizzard Dropping The Battle.net Name
| Quote: | After twenty years, Blizzard plan to step away from the name Battle.net for their online platform and services. The Diablords and Warcrafteers today announced that they’ll be “transitioning away” from the name Battle.net, which they’ve been using since the first Diablo way back in 1996. No, Blizzard now want to name elements boring things like Blizzard Streaming and Blizzard Voice. Ah, the end of an era. Another icon falls.
Look, let’s be honest: names which are also domain names had become daggy by ooh we’ll generously say 1999. But don’t you see, Blizzard? A ’90s revival is going on – for the first time in yonks, the name Battle.net currently sounds cool.
Entirely missing that point, Blizzard said in their announcement:
“When we created Battle.net, the idea of including a tailored online-gaming service together with your game was more of a novel concept, so we put a lot of focus on explaining what the service was and how it worked, including giving it a distinct name. Over time, though, we’ve seen that there’s been occasional confusion and inefficiencies related to having two separate identities under which everything falls—Blizzard and Battle.net. Given that built-in multiplayer support is a well-understood concept and more of a normal expectation these days, there isn’t as much of a need to maintain a separate identity for what is essentially our networking technology.”
Instead, Blizzard will be individually naming components Blizzard This and Blizzard That. They say they’re making the change over the next few months. As if everyone won’t call it Battle.net anyway. |

Battle.net or BNet is such an iconic name TBH.
The new callings sound like crap.

Blizzard tech. Such a lame name. Battle.net is so memorable and iconic name.

Sounds like something EA or Ubisoft would do.
Oh well, Blizzard has been creatively bankrupt for a very long time anyway.

Does it really matter tho ? I think anyone who already knows it as "battle.net" will simply continue to think of it a such and call it that. And for the new people .. who cares ?
I don't care what they call it, for me, it will always be called battle.net, period. It has been 20 years, no marketing of them will change that.
Of course, I don't actually play any Blizzard games anymore anyway, so ... what was I talking about again ? ... Nevermind ...

Bit silly they went with a daft name like that. Battle.net had something to it. Blizzard Tech... sounds more like a spin-off department.
But yeah, bet most people won't use the name so... why are they even trying to make other people say what they want to hear. We all know how futile that is!

Man, thanks for reminding me how disappointed I was for the original purpose of this thread, lol.
I agree, Battle.net is such an iconic term in the gaming world, stupid to see it go.

Instead of using the B.Net Launcher or B.Net Streaming or B.Net Chat we'll now have the Blizzard Launcher and Blizzard Streaming and Blizzard Chat.
Literally unplayable.

Their yearly wankfest, yay.
Pay them money, so they can wank over you and sell you their products.
Anyone else sees the error in this?

doubt its fake, they tried remastering warcaft123 also. and its easy fucking money, dosbox that shit and charge 10 bucks and easy money
its a given it will come. they have NOTHING to show for this years blizcon, and the last few blizcons were meager as fuck already
for a company having this much revenue they pay themselves so much to sit on their ass and produce nothing
