I guess they're giving up on convincing people to download their launcher.

The games are coming to Steam. Even if the launcher is there, Steam still gets the 30%

IDK what your comment is about, but its not a coincidence the first blizz game coming to steam is free to play,

In-app purchases, mtx, DLC, and premium currency are also subject to Valve tax for games that are on Steam. Free to play means "enough people pay $200+ that we can get away with not selling it for $50", putting it on Steam still means Valve gets a piece of the pie.
