You know, because maybe I just want to play Heathstone on my Laptop while playing WoW on my Desktop.
Is that so much to ask?

Double monitor
If you dont have a 2nd one you may be able to use your laptop

I have double monitor. That’s not the problem. Sometimes I want to play one game on one computer and another game on a different computer.
And yes, I know that TECHNICALLY I can, by signing out of battle.net on one computer that already has a game logged in, and then signing into battle.net again on another to launch that second game.
This is an unnecessary extra step in my opinion.
Try plugging in an ethernet cord from your laptop to pc to bridge their connection or something like that

If someone in my household wants to play Diablo in the living room while I’m playing WoW in the office, there shouldn’t be this need for log in / log out shenanigans, let alone needing to run Ethernet cable all over the place and reconfigure the computer to mask an IP address. That’s just silly.
I get this too sometimes so now i log out of blizz on my computers if i use sleep mode
Problem solved
oh okay this is just general feedback
yeah it kinda sucks
And there doesn’t seem to be any technical reason why it needs to be this way other then to purposely inconvenience the user.
Don’t listen to this guy, he knows nothing about networking.
Best way to accomplish this would be to skip the launcher and create a shortcut to the games executable.

It serves a security purpose. The battle.net launcher does a lot more and has access to more information today then what it did when it first launched.
Can you log in WoW using the WoW.exe, not the battle.net app, when Hearthstone is active on iPad? I think I used to be able to do that.
Careful, there are white knights on here that will report to Blizzard that you are “account sharing” by having more than one person using your personal use only version of the software.
I know I mentioned that my kids used my account back in BC and it spawned a large argument because some wanted me punished for sharing (they even linked the TOS) while other linked the relevant parts of the TOS that you can share with kids under 18.
Just sending out a word of caution, especially with the whole MB issues now.
And yeah it should work like you want. I just set my systems to close the launcher once the game launches so if I log into anything else oaths system or another, I am already logged out.

Yeah, but it could allow multiple instances of battle.net launcher under different credentials.
Call horse-manure on this one. Like not wanting to get up and change your tv to dvd by actually having to put the disc in! Lol
Well not like you gotta buy the game its f2p just make another account Heathstone is also on phones/tablets
Bad analogy.
It would be like not being able to turn on the DVD player in your living room without the one in your bedroom turning off as a result.

You can launch WoW from the Wow.exe file in the install retail folder.

You can run multiple launchers, you just can’t use the same log in info for them. You could create a second battle.net account, launch the game you want to play. Log out of the game and use the log in info with in the games launcher to sign in with your main account. A lot of steps but that is an option.
This is what people want to avoid.

The people who work on World of Warcraft do not manage or maintain the forums or the Battle.net apps. That is handled by a different team.
The Battle.net Apps have their own forums here: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/blizzard/
