Hearthpwn

It is a no. I am flying. And now, it is time to pay. 

10% of market cap evaporated in one day. 

I am in Marvel Snap since November and I love it. I come here to read the complaints. It is fun. 

Thank God you fixed the shop! I can’t live without it.

HS is nothing special.

Every game can pass the test of time when:

- people are lured into it for different reasons and with different strategies

- they are encouraged to keep spending

- their stupid brains don't realize it's a trick to keep you invested so you never stop playing

- the target audience seems to be kids of at most 24 years of age. Yes, they are kids. Men grow up at around 26-28. A 24 year-old male is rarely a grown-up person with respect to life and choices (i.e. there are always exceptions but that's not the point).

- netdecking is amplifying all of the above

 

Smart moves from blizzard? Sure. Immoral much? Definitely. Does "immoral" make lots of money? Oh yea baby, let it flow. Should we do something about it? Definitely. Why don't we? Because we are too stupid or suffering from a god complex. What's that??? When the game's whales need to feel powerful or like they matter in this world, they spend their very-easily-earned money on this game. But isn't it their right? Of course, but it also shows how "smart" they are and why things never change in this world.

Meanwhile, the homeless guy you see every day on your way to the bank, to retrieve your 1million$ pocket money, has almost froze to death because he can't afford a ride to the nearest shelter.

PS: i'm waiting for the world to have matter replicators so we won't require money anymore, for almost anything. No one starves to death, no one lacks basic clothing etc. An economy without money and based on research and self fulfilment is the best humanity has to offer. Too bad it's gonna be an utopia for a good while due to greed and power. Technically we are not that far from it - quantum mechanics and computing is the first step.

Nice thread.

 This is a great example of what I mention above. I've no idea why you're here or putting time into the game, I can only assume that this is an emotional rant and you don't really mean or believe that this is a fair summary of the game. I think you'd need to be truly moronic to genuinely think this about a game (or anything else for that matter) and yet be putting time into not only the game but also being active on an external site. Nothing you say here fairly addresses the question at all, it's clearly very emotional and biased and goes off onto weird tangents about homeless people. 

Weird moral high ground to take. If you're that bothered, get off your armchair, log out of hearthstone and put your time into doing soenthing productive for people less fortunate than yourself.

So dishonest to suggest that the only reason people play and put money into the game is because they are stupid. You're showing your own ignorance in even suggesting that.

The irony in you repeatedly bashing people's intelligence but then thinking this is a clever, insightful, logical and objective post is just funny. 

Put. The. Game. Down. Log out of this site. Do something with your time that makes you happy and feels producotbe. Go solve homelessness etc, you're clearly way too big brain and intelligent to be messing about on a kid's game (your words, not mine). Do you not feel embarrassed to be slating it and the reasons people have to for playing it whilst simultaneously being active outside the game etc?

Take your moral and intellectual superiority and do something useful, friend. 

 It's funny how you're still here too, mister defender of the weak. You were also never, in any of your posts, able to discern simple text from emotional rants. It's like you filter everything you read through what you actually believe and feel.

It's not wrong, we all kind of do that. But stop coming here and bashing what people say because you can't get over your subjectivity. You don't even realize you're doing it.

And yea, i stopped playing this shit game long ago. Forums are a nice means of passing time and to trigger people like you. I like the psychology involved. I would also love to come back to the game and that is why i still care a bit. Otherwise i would've left this site too. It's fun and funny to see how people act in certain situations.

 I mostly agree with you. One funny thing. We don't know if Diablo Immortal is making money or not. Indeed, it is very difficult to tell because even if the app is selling (but badly compared to other apps like this) it was a thing so bad for Blizzard's reputation that they created diseconomies. 

Anyway, what we know is that, even with Diablo Immortal and Overwatch 2 during the year, Blizzard lost money. They published recently their financial statement of the year 2022. 

• Year ended 2021 income for Blizzard= 698M  
• Year ended 2022 income for Blizzard= 625M

Yes, but without new contents :). Who will work for free?

This post after less than one month is already aged badly. 

We have seen in less than one month:

• Blizzard losing the biggest market in China
• Blizzard reducing the esports with crazy answers, like: 

1. "Does this mean HS Esports is being cancelled in 2024?
2. We don’t have anything to share on the 2024 program at this time."

1. Does this mean that Hearthstone is declining/failing?
2. The current scope of Hearthstone Esports is separate from the success of Hearthstone. We are thrilled with the upcoming content plans for the game and can’t wait for players to get to see what is being worked on in the years to come

• Blizzard stops update mercenaries because they "align their goals and focus on continuing to make Hearthstone the best digital card game in the world"

So, we will see if HS has passed the "test of time" because the future, to me, seems uncertainty as hell. And, if I have to say the true, I am happy about it. I loved this game, but Blizzard pissed me off too many times. They are a bad company.

Blizzard is so clumsy with these choices that it looks like an elephant in a crystal shop.

This thing is going to create a very bad marketing.

LOL. Blizzard's revenue will also be down. So they have two big things to celebrate.

Blizzard is a hilarious company. I really don't understand them. Everything they made seems so greedy and comic. I mean, yesterday they lost all Chinese market and today: "Celebrate the Lunar New Year!"

I mean, LOL. It seems they are happy for the new year without the China. I know that it is not related. But the context and their badly timing is so hilarious.

https://sensortower.com/blog/hearthstone-mobile-revenue

It seems the biggest market for users and revenue. If I remember well, I saw in the past some numbers. They are more (customers) and they spend on average less per person than Americans. But they are overall the biggest market for revenues and clients. 

I don't like the data from Sensor Tower, but I don't want to do a deeper research. (The article is old, 2018. So, it gives only a very general idea)

I don't understand why they write these stupid questions with answers not aligned with the question, like:. "Does this mean that Hearthstone is declining/failing?"

It will only lose the biggest market for users in 3 days. 

This is because the game is loosing attractiveness and it is also going to lose the all market in China. Blizzard’s answer in this game should have been to make the game more appealing in terms of money (more free things, in order to increase the public and to retain the clients) but they decided the opposite, so to make everything more expensive and to ask more money for everything. Meanwhile they are not innovative enough and there are arising new competitors, like Marvel Snap. 
In my opinion Blizzard is managing everything terribly.

And it’s nowhere as deep as hearthstone

Dude what game do you think you're playing? HS is a game for kids and the developers are not from the NASA, they are a bunch of nerds that made mistakes on elementary maths. 

Maybe I understand the game that I am playing… “Dude”. And you’re right: not a single video game is made by NASA. like always: no arguments, just claims (the “deeper” was in comparison to marvel snap - but understanding that might require someone who knows basic grammar - a game made 100% to prey on children with a very bad monetarisation) by some guy not even playing the game anymore, but still shitting on the devs…

 Yes, deeper in what. In maths mistakes? In grammar mistakes? In scarce ideas? And yes. I love shitting on this game. The reason is simple. Blizzard is a bad company, the worst video game company, and they pissed me off. They made, for me, too many scams and bullshits.

But yes, Anarchy1 I also totally agree with you regarding the monetization of Marvel Snap. I love this game, and I am playing it every day. But its monetization is terrible, far far worse than HS (which is already awful) and it is a real scam, for € 100 you will get practically nothing. We can argue that Brode passed his master to fuck. Or perhaps they are even. In the end, Blizzard is the wonderful company asking for € 100.000 in gems for Diablo Immortal.

i've played hearthstone since beta. it peaked at Journey to Un'Goro and then got worse with every expansion.

the game is a terrible sh*t show. gone are the days of actually outplaying your opponent. it turned from a good card game to an RNG single player mode and if you disagree, you either don't know the good hearthstone or you're lying to yourself.

 Yeah and with your last sentence you say nothing but: I am right and everyone who disagrees is stupid. Game is better then ever, more complex and more fun. Ig you don’t agree you have no clue… so whom of us has no clue now?

btw ungoro was far away from peak hs.

 You are, for sure, the guy with no clue. My friend Anarchy1.
