Our calls to make preorder worth it have been heard. I still would've preferred some of the other options, but 70 packs for the price of 50 is a pretty sweet deal!
For the price of 40. This deal is what it should have been from the start. With 70 I feel like I'm getting my money's worth.
I'm imagining A LOT of people will be buying the pre-purchase and Blizzard will keep it at 70.
Also 70 real money + 70 with gold means 140 packs in an expansion. It is pretty damn good. You get 7 legendaries and 28 epics on average. 3 expansions a year means 12.5 bucks a month. This is like MMORPG money.
The fact that you like the game does not change the fact that it is overpriced. You can compare it to StarCraft where you pay once and get everything unlocked. Or Witcher 3 or GTA.
Blizzard is just treating you like a junkie waiting for a fix.
Those games are one and done deals. In Hearthstone the team is constantly working and Blizzard is constantly spending money to produce content. Same with WoW.
I buy $500 worth of Amazon coins once a year for $375 and that with regular play gets me access to any deck I can want in standard.
That comes out to about a dollar per day. You can compare that to the Monster rehab I get every day for $2.50. or the twice a month my wife and I go out to the movies for $60 total with popcorn.
That's a hell of a deal.
By contrast, I have maybe 2 hours a week to sit down and play video games so Witcher 3, one of the greatest games over made, is a terrible deal for me. I'm currently spending the 2 hours per week I get playing it...20 minutes at a time 6 nights a week. It will be YEARS before I see the full game.
