Rebranding is nothing new in the tech industry. We see it all the time, but sometimes it really hits home when a long-standing institution is hit with it as part of our evolving world. Battle.net launched twenty years ago back in 1996 going live alongside Blizzard's Diablo making it one of the earliest pioneers in having an online platform. In 1996, Blizzard had rolled out a platform that to this day we're just seeing other companies match, like the Bethesda Launcher.
