Since when is Overwatch on Steam?

Since blizzard is desperate for players to return after each consecutive backlash.

also because of the microsoft deal. Microsoft has acknowledged that the move to host games exclusively on BattleNet has failed and I think as soon as the deal is done, more and more games will move back to steam completely.

Also, Microsoft really wants to show right now that they're not gating plattforms.

Since the player base quit.

Since yesterday. Works great on Proton experimental. Even better than on Bottles or Lutris.

It’s a very very recent thing. But I think it still launches the blizzard launcher.

Steam should have a rule against that tbh.

It doesn't. You link your Steam account and it's 100% through Steam after that. No offense but why don't you just spend the 20 seconds to Google it rather than spreading false info...

You don't "Google" something, you search it online...
