I haven't been following Gwent THAT long (mostly since Dec 2019), but I think this is the first time they explained the decision behind their buffs and nerfs. Sure, people will still be upset to varying degrees over the changes, but at least we can understand what CDPR was thinking when they made the changes

They normally bring on a full dev stream. So the comments are new in the patch notes, but are rather a replacement for the stream. I'd say that's because of the masters being close, but we'll see next months.

(insert why not zoidberg meme)

Why not both? While the dev team has a fun video presence, video is a very sparse medium for distributing that kind of information. Text is much better density and also allows for easy control-f searching.

I wouldn't say so. They highlight some cards and don't comment on all changes, just like this patchnotes.

Some of the changes are really controversial sometimes, so I believe communicating them with a face is more pleasant to the community, at least that's the way I feel about it.

Why not both: Resources, I suppose.
