I spoke too soon:I don't play Hearthstone, but I still watch YouTube videos, and this is some of the most WTF bullshit I've seen:
I deleted my bnet account after the HK fiasco and I'm continually reminded of why that was the right move for me
Ok, what's going on?View attachment 36282

Ok, I have now looked into it, and holy hell. Hearthstone already had a really greedy progression system for a f2p game, and the new "revamped" system is even worse, with even slower progression that is obfuscated to try to hide how greedy it is.I assume it has something to do with the new reward system and how it seems to handicap F2P/casual players.

I was a whale. When I quit (I don't remember which expansion) I literally owned every single card. I stopped playing because it was too expensive even for the financially irresponsible like me to keep playing the game. And now they've made it even more expensive.Even the whales are quitting.

--PatrickSomeone emailed me a list of problematic things I've done in their eyes and [...] it has been brought to my attention that there are literally people crying about it, and even dragging the people I care about [...] into it by pressuring them and condemning them for interacting with me. Shit on me all you want, but I always draw the line at attacking my friends.
Yeah, I'm not reading all that. Twitter is not the place for a 20 page thesisNot sure where else I might put this, so it goes here.
