Pin: `winget install --id Blizzard.BattleNet --version 2.0.0.4232 --exact`

## macOS

### What the installer does
- Delivered as a download whose format the URL does not state for Apple silicon and Intel.
- Includes an installer step that the cask hands over to the vendor’s own setup program.
- The app updates itself, so it may be newer than the version Homebrew lists.
- On uninstall, Homebrew deletes 1 extra file.
- A full “zap” removal also deletes up to 12 support, cache and preference locations in your home folder.
- The cask does not pin a checksum for this download (an unversioned URL), so the file can change without notice.

### Versions (newest first) — Homebrew lists only the current release
