Blizzard is moving from:
- many F2P but we make our money from the few that buy packs to
- many, cheaper micro transactions from more people
The price for this mini release is cheap compared to Blizzard’s traditional model and I’m sure that many F2P players (until now) will buy it and keep their gold for the next release.
There are also all these perks now that didn’t exist before which are not targeting whales but the average player
