Sadly, the answer is no. Traditionally, Battle.net has been Blizzard's main avenue for releasing their PC games, wholly owned by the company. Considering the following they gained these last few decades, Blizzard's never seen a need to use other PC platforms.

Reports have mainly focused on Blizzard specifically, but Activision face a separate lawsuit from investors. CEO Bobby Kotick has also been subpoenaed.
