iOS only and for a limited time only? That's oddly exclusive.
Just bought it and now I can't play HS on pc. Well done Blizzard rolling out the update on iOS before on desktop lmao.
It doesn't make sense, specially because it is for charity, an exclusivity like that reduces the amount of donations they could have been getting from all platforms.
It just doesn't make any sense, who exactly is benefiting from this exclusivity? Apple? They aren't getting any money out of it, since the money is going to charity... I really don't understand this decision.
Android wouldn't bother with charities like that, it's not like they care about wild life or the environement ... Its exclusive Apple because only Apple have Apps for Earth*.
in the tech industry only Apple runs mainly on renewable energy ( 97% )
other big players just DONT GIVE A SINGLE FUCK
I up voted you for that post, the comedy in play here is outstanding and I use an iPhone.
Another mage skin? for real? wtf...
Shouldn't come as a surprise. They said there would be multiple for skins for each class. I'm just surprised we got a third Mage skin before other classes even get a second one.
If you are surprised, wouldn't you assume, based on his message, that he is surprised for the same reason?
I never thought android users would get salty over $4.99. If you want the new hero so bad then go to an Apple store, and ask the staff to download the game for you and buy it there.
Question. If I have money on my Battle.net account but not on iOS can I still purchase him? My primary smartphone is Android and my brother is lending me his iPad.
iPad Hearthstone uses app store and app store uses the payment option set for it. Therefore it will use the payment option your brother has set for himself and the credit on it.
Why this is another Mage hero, is because Blizzard doesn't get the money if you buy this and they want to safe the other portraits, to sell, because if you are going to buy the hero portraits, then you don't want to have 2 Mage heroes so you buy the other heroes and the money from that goes to Blizzard.
Probably gonna grab this one, the price is fair as well and it is for a good reason
You haven't quit if you still come to a HS website and read/post about it.
nope, you don't quit heathstone, hearthstone quits you!
In my country, Argentina, almost no one has an apple device. Could some people stop saying "ask a friend to buy it for you". United States is not all the world.
American game developer (Blizzard) and an American company hosting this promotion (Apple), so yea, this kinda is American related and relevant advice. Giving advice that applies to most is relevant and meaningful. It's not like the advice harms or break anything for you, it just doesn't apply.
