People have to understand that blizzard is a company though. They employ a lot of people and they need to make money. They probably started doing that and making epics and legendaries more powerful as the expacs went on solely to make money. If anyone remembers back in the day, it was actually a meme how bad most legendaries and epics were. In the classic set, only a couple still see play, and it's loaded with worthless cards like Cho, Millhouse, and The Beast. It's no coincedence that they upped the power level of legendaries over the years. People are way too harsh on blizz for wanting to make money though. Remember the days when it cost 50$ (in 1990s money) to buy an N64 game? Games have way higher quality now, and are a lot cheaper. Look at games like Subnautica. That game cost 19.99$ and it would've been the greatest and most played game ever if it came out in 1999. The video game industry is struggling now because of things like piracy, and companies need to make money.
Sorry, but that is huge BS. To get full expansion you need to spend $450-500 on packs (135 virtual cards!). That is the equivalent of a new PS4 Pro! To get 4 full expansions per year, you have to spend $1800-2000. A normal game, with a budget usually exceeding $300 million, costs $60. Poor Blizzard indeed...
bro, I literally spend 50$ on the preorder for every expac (except for Rastakan's Rumble because I didn't like that expansion, so I only bought 20$ worth) and I have 95% of the cards in the game and 99% of the cards I want in the game (you don't need every card...). And yes poor blizzard... the gaming industry is shite now and most of the employees there have horrible working conditions because they need to in a market where people only buy gigantic budget "sand-box" games like Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption 2, or they buy 5-10$ indy games. Blizzard had to lay off thousands of employees this year because they don't make enough money.
You talk about God Of War like it's supposed to be a way more intelligent purchase, yet no one talks about that game ever except for the week it came out, and there's no multiplayer. That costs 60$ and games like that keep people occupied for 1-2 weeks if they don't burn through it faster. I spent 50 on SoU and am still having a blast and playing it every day.
I wouldn't use the term dust inflation here because that makes it sound like things cost more dust than before. I however believe that it was really bad for the game that they introduced having 2 legendaries per class every expansion in journey to un-goro. It does make each class slightly more interesting, but it skyrockets the cost of decks. The entire year of the mammoth, the paladin class was completely unplayable for most people because every single decent paladin deck contained at least 4 paladin only legendaries...
