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.

wow. 20€ of cost increase PER YEAR. What a theft... Maybe combined with the cost increase, it will become 30€ more overall. This is, in practice, equal to 2.5€ more PER MONTH. And in this way you will get more card variety, ending up playing a better game.
This seems a good deal to me, but if you don't want to spend just don't complain. The cost increase is minimal both in absolute terms and if related to the gameplay improvement coming with these changes.
Ben Brode's new car :
These Ben Brode jokes are funny but I'm sure he -or any other dev- didn't even know about this price increase one bit. This is coming directly from finance department of Activision/Blizzard.
Ben Brode : HAHAHAHAHAHA
All's I care about is gold. When they change that they can eat a dick.
Wow. Those are some great new features and balance changes. And we get them already so fast after the latest patch. Good to see you are listening to your players' feedback, Blizzard.
*puts on his headphones*
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see
guess we are going to have to Adapt to the new prices ...
Eternal is the game
magic the Gathering mechanics with easy to use UI
best f2p model with rewards after every single win and AI grinding
ya, Gwent, Elder Scrolls and Faeria are alright too
They can just tell a good reason to do this, just a reason. But they didnt because its probrably not a good reason...
Have you ever gone to a supermarket? Prices increase there, at electronics store, at restaurantes,everywhere. It is just how economics go. In fact they DID NOT increase GOLD cost, since the know that pack's value has remained the same. It is the value of money which has gone down and this is just an adjustment to that.
Blizzard, if anything, waited even too much to do so. I agree that they chose the worst moment, right before an expansion but it is unavoidable to have so.
Basically, it is to adjust to the lowered purchase power of the money, due to the increased amount of money out in the market.
First of all, Hearthstone packs are virtual item, it does not cost Blizzard anything to make them and they can make infinite amount of them.
Second, they are greedy bastards who just want more money, even if HS earned 400 millions last year.
I think this can be a pre-april fools joke,can be?
I hope they will give us daily free packs(dust and gold rewards too) and ungoro will be very interesting and funny.So we will keep up playing ı guess...
On the contrary, this encourages F2P. As the price of the Packs increases, people will demand less of them, instead turning to in-game Gold as their primary source of packs because it's cheaper. If Blizz went the other way and decreased the price of the Packs, people with the ability to pay would undoubtedly pay because it's faster. Whenever somebody decides whether or not to buy those 50 packs, he/she is instinctively weighing the value of their time grinding gold vs. the value of real money. Then, he/she will decide on what they perceive to be the "better" choice. It's simple economics.
xD
These developers are unable to balance their fucking game for an year, and raising prices? GG WP, bye
I'm playing PoE now, really well balanced F2P game with talented developers and fair prices.
