(→‎Configuration file(s) location: "Nickname" is probably better since internal codename is not really the name people would expect. Technically speaking command line parameters are stored inside the user settings.. But idk how better to represent this.)
m (→‎Configuration file(s) location: converted to use Standard table and Abbr template)

For a list of games, see games using Battle.net DRM.

Key points

DRM: Digital distribution platform with accompanying client required for downloading and updating games.
Blizzard Entertainment games only; with the exception of the Call of Duty series. Some older Blizzard games do not require the client for DRM, and use classic Battle.net accounts for online play. Classic Battle.net accounts differ from typical accounts.
Most Battle.net games require a constant network connection. StarCraft II has an offline mode, but it only functions for a maximum of 30 days before requiring a re-connect.
Two-factor authentication: SMS Protect and Battle.net Authenticator for iOS, Android, and physical.
Freeware classic games from Blizzard. No account required.
