this isn't a new idea.. steam has been doing this for years, I even have all of my blizzard games added to steam so I can still talk to alot of my friends while playing.

Also, Steam doesn't add their chat interface into the WoW interface, like how Battle.net proposes. No alt-tabbing to another app, no more signing in to several different servers to check who is on. Plus inviting a WoW friend that doesn't run any external chat clients to run through Diablo 3 for an hour before a raid night? Sounds pretty Win-ish to me.

you don't need to alt-tab to use steam in wow, steams overlay works just like it would with a regular steam game to chat with people

The difference is, that you can't specify what name is on your battlenet chat.. It uses your name off your credit card.

In steam, I can talk multi-game without giving out my real first and last name.
