After restarting, Battle-net kept restarting even after killing it, I tried to uninstall it and it wouldn't even do that, it kept telling me a game was open that required it. Eventually I got it uninstall by closing the xbox app as well. What a piece of shit! Why do we have to have both Battle-net and xbox app when MS owns Blizzard?!?! These things are getting rediculous. -- -Justisaur ø-ø (\_/)\ `-'\ `--.___, ¶¬'\( ,_.-' \\ ^'
