It's a correlation not a cosation. Bliz are getting bought by MS, and Ms releases their games on Steam also

I really wish I could believe that, but:

  1. By that same argument, I should expect Blizz games on the Xbox platform (or at least game pass). But ActiBlizz has said that while they plan to do that, not to expect it until at least 2024 when the acquisition closes (if it does). Which also raises the fact that ...

  2. MSFT hasn't acquired Blizz yet, so the push to the Steam platform is likely not driven by that narrative yet.
