Dataminers claim to choose discovered unopen to hidden secrets.
Steam does all kinds of stuff—some of it is interesting, unopen to of it is form of useless, but altogether it adds upward to a really full-featured, robust digital distribution platform too quasi social network. Battle.net, on the other hand, is mainly that matter you lot simply choose to burn downwards upward too hence you lot tin play Overwatch. It's fine for what it is, it simply never feels similar it's bringing much to the political party . 
Blizzard may presently survive aiming to alter that, however, every bit MMO-Champion has published what it says is a serial of "group strings," icons, too avatars that it discovered inwards a recent update of the Battle.net client. One of the features referenced inwards the listing is an pick to look offline, something users choose been afterwards for years. Group too channel features too figure prominently, suggesting that Blizzard may survive aiming for a Discord-like environment.
"Groups are the social hub for you lot too your friends across Blizzard," 1 ready of strings states. "Use groups to coordinate play time, hash out strats, or simply hang out too chat. They're too a bully means to expand your circle of Blizzard friends."
All of which guarantees absolutely nothing, but it's interesting that the regain comes simply a few days afterwards Blizzard rolled out a mobile Battle.net app, too less than ii months afterwards it re-embraced the Battle.net name. The timing may survive exclusively coincidental, but it's non difficult to become the impression that somewhere, somehow, things are happening. I've reached out to Blizzard for to a greater extent than information, too volition update if too when I have a reply.
Thanks, VG247.
Thanks PC GAMER
