I guess they're giving up on convincing people to download their launcher.

Pretty sure it either allows to login within game, or launches their own (micro?) launcher first, where you have to login with Blizzard account and then starts the game.

Pretty much all "steam games" that are primarily available elsewhere run this way using mini launchers...
