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

You still have to use Battle.net, so that's an absolute no-go from me.

Glad they're giving folks options though.

You need a battlenet login, but not the launcher

Doesn't the launcher also double as their anti cheat system? I thought the launcher also managed Warden

I don't think so, but also I thought most of ow2 anticheat was serverside

Warden works on Battle.net the server not the launcher. Very few games have Warden.
