Blizzards launcher is basically just a better, sleaker, smaller Steam client, with features you should expect, but dont get, from every major publisher.

The 14 launcher suffers from the same problem a majority of other MMO launchers suffer from, with fewer usable workarounds.

It's somewhat astounding how absolutely awful most publishers are with handling this, given Sony Online had working out-of-game chat clients and officially supported launcher workarounds 18 years ago, and we are seemingly going nowhere but backwards in functionality.
