Battle.net has been around since at least StarCraft 1. I'm glad Blizzard is showing signs of throwing in the towel when better storefronts/launchers are available
I can nearly guarantee you that once you download it from Steam servers that it will require the Battle.net launcher.
Mike Ybarra confirmed this is not the case. They will launch directly from Steam.
Is there a source? I want to believe this so much.

HOLY SHIT!
Thank you!
I can see this isn't your first rodeo!
They already said this won’t be the case
This is battle.net 2.0. Most of Battle 1.0's functionality had to either be ported or just isn't there.
Battle.net 1.0 is so different that warcraft III vomited server instability when it moved to 2.0. They're the same in name only.
And as others have pointed out, it will probably still require 2.0 in order to play the games, just that Steam's launcher will point you to battle.net
Since Diablo. Back when I played on dialup. I'm old.
