(Added client data section. I would have liked to come up with better names for "settings" (as in, the parameters that get passed to the game) vs "configuration" (i.e. the stuff the client uses to even find the game), but I couldn't think to anything else.) |

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.
