Not only that, but most people who wanted to get Diablo 4 already got it through Blizzard's store/launcher. Despite their drop in popularity over the last decade or so, they are still very visible, so it's not like going on Steam exposed the game to many people who wouldn't have been aware of it if they pay any attention to gaming news.

I only get mine from browsing Lemmy and formerly Reddit. I haven't been paying any specific attention to Blizzard but I still knew when Diablo 4 was released and that the Overwatch I paid for has been replaced with a f2p Overwatch 2.
