Hearthstone Price Changes Coming to Europe
Hearthstone goodies are about to get more expensive in Europe to "align with local and regional market conditions". These new prices go live on the 22 of March, before the new expansion goes live in April. We're assuming there will be no change to the current Un'Goro pre-order purchase and recommend getting in on that while you can.

Haven't seen anything confirming if the gold purchase prices are changing or not? I mean, I know the gold value should not be affected by currency rates, lol, but hey, just checking. If the gold prices stay the same, FTP players are unaffected, at least. But if they raise the amount of gold needed to buy packs, then everyone is getting hosed, not just the PTP community.
I quit hearthstone, my brother already did and I feel like its good time to do it, i encourage everyone doing same.
Same.
Exactly.Android patch is 70 mb max but the same patch on pc is 1 gb.Why?
Blizz optimized patches for android devices, so they wouldn't have a 1gb+ size
You mean patches the pirate?
So you don't know that Apple is demanding a premium for (Hearthstone) purchases? The 499 from the article is the new price for non-apple purchases. The 520 you are paying will stay the same.
so now price for ios is price for every platform
Price for Pre-Order will stay the same tho, right?
No, it'll be more, but you still get 10 free packs (for now)
I was honestly expecting the price change to be a drop to the older sets to entice new players to start. Instead they are actually raising prices? The timing with all the complaints from both community and pro players could not be worse. From a marketing / pr stand point is a really bad choice, I have friends that are new to the game that find it interesting but the entry fee is turning many away and this will do so even more. There are so many better ways to make profit off the game; more content released steadily, more hero skins, special boardsm could even do card backs, are all better ways to make money rather than just being lazy and increasing the cost on existing / new things.
Already playing Gwent, and visiting HS for daily. Gwent has completely different mechanics and I'm really enjoying it. I wouldn't like to change HS to HS with other cards, like ES Legends.
How convenient they waited to announce the price increase only after the heroic tavern brawl to sucker the gold out of the EU players. Bravo Blizzard, bravo. Well played you greedy bastards. I have to hand it to them, they know how to proper F*&^k the player base don't they? NA players don't get too smug about this, I have a feeling, this is a test to see what happens and if the profit/loss are more on the profitable side, expect an NA price increase soon. (I'm not f2p btw)
In saudi arabia u can buy 2 packs or 11 liter gas lul
I feel the same, it's just not sustainable
I might be wrong, but I don't recall retail PC / console games being 15-50% cheaper in 2014 compared to now? I tried to find some proof but failed, though. If other gaming companies are not raising prices, why do Blizzard?
In fact, Diablo 3 (normal digital version) seemed to be priced at 59€ when it was being released in 2012. Now Overwatch (normal digital version) was released for 39€ last year. According to inflation, Overwatch should have been closer to 100€, but it wasn't? Why? Because (almost) nobody would buy the normal version for 100€.
As far as I'm concerned, this same thing happens with HS. Even if the "real price" of a booster should be higher than it has been, the situation and buying power in Europe has not gone up in any way. In fact, it has probably gotten worse in many places. Thus, it doesn't really matter what the Dollar-Euro/pound rate is. What matters is how Europeans perceive the raise compared to their buying power.
Dollar is going up at the moment, but if a gaming company wants to sell their new game in Europe, they cannot suddenly jack up the prices by 15-50% "just because currency rate", assuming they really want to sell games in europe. Thus, the console/PC games will probably stay at similar level than before. Maybe I'm wrong and new console games suddenly cost 100€... we shall see.
And do we need to keep forking out cash every 3 - 4 months to keep Diablo playable?
Nope.
This is ridicolous. You are NOT donating to them, you are buying the product they are developing. Price increases are just how economy goes, even in supermarket products get price adjustement from time to time.
