    Bethesda did it when they shut down the Bathesda launcher, but other than that it’s not really something that happens.

    This was somewhat done for Destiny 2, when they moved from Battle.net to Steam (so like the Bethesda situation mentioned in another reply). I’m sure it was a bit easier for them since the base game went F2P which obviously hasn’t happened here for Diablo 4, but all of my purchases/DLCs for the game were transferred over to the Steam equivalents.

    I’d assume if they really wanted to, they could find a way to just give everyone who has it on BNet a key to the Steam version, but there’s no real incentive for them to do that.

  Doubtful.

  I’m a long term Guild Wars 2 player and when they joined Steam the client auto logs you in using your Steam account. However there is a switch you can add so that it logs in using a non-steam account.
