I uninstalled Hearthstone straight after their so-called update. It was not an update but a cheap cash-grabbing opportunity which they took. They failed to bring any improvements to the game. Instead, it was transformed into a pay-to-win game. It was nearly the only game not infested by extensive monetization, but now it is done and, in my view, will stay as it is. It is a shame. Sadly Activision Blizzard has nothing to do with the old Blizzard, which actually prioritised quality over quantity and respected the gaming community. RIP

After some time playing, the latest update (coming soon) makes Battlegrounds even more pay to win. The buddy system reinforces having the right hero. A choice of 4 heroes, is the choice between being in the top 4, or not, most of the time. Itās a huge difference. Whenever you get offered a poor hero in the higher MMR lobbies, you can pretty much guarantee a finish in the bottom 3.

Battlegrounds isnāt pay to win. Itās elite only or GTFO.
I didnāt notice they removed the āpay to get four heroesā option.
Was there a patch Iām not aware of?
I bought the battlepass and can choose from 4 heroes.
Once I hit 5000mmr, I havenāt won for over a week.
Go somewhere else. They donāt need you to survive. Plenty of people who understand that things donāt come free.
Battlegrounds is centered around three broken thingsā¦ shields, poison, and baron rivendaleā¦

Its not generally the US politician who run down a currency, For example I know the Japanese government has made efforts over the years to lower the exchange rate from USD to Yen.
Actions have consequences, Ok you find a way to forge currency, you forge trillions you are now incredibly rich, guess what the currency you are forging will dive.
Who do you think vote year after year to approve policy to print money like itās monopoly money?
Itās easy to say that when you donāt have to live with them, and you live on the other side of the planet.
The irony of this statement as all this ācurrency forgingā comes calling to the usa in real time. 2nd time in less than 15 years. Better fire up those money printers again!
But the time, sleezy mega corps like actiblizz get a free pass to false advertise games as f2p, when they are anything but.
Polticians,
now if itās us politicians that drive down the US dollar Is driven down, not for example the Brazilian currency.
Every person in the world pretty much has to live with the past decisions of their politicians. No country has not had bad decisions made at some point in time.
sorry I donāt know what you are specifically talking about. If itās the run on the banks in the US and other countries. I believe this run was started because a bank did not cover its risks, it did not even have a person in charge of managing risks, and other people at the bank were not doing there jobs. not because they where printing counterfeit currency.
If you think that they donāt influence economic policy, especially in south americaā¦I have a bridge to sell you.
See the highlighted word there. A lot of people in many places have to live with the decisionof OTHER politicians. Especially those who view drone strikes and the people āaccidentallyā caught in them as pieces in a board game.
Back up before people starting pulling their money: bad fiscal policy now leads to more bailouts, which is going to lead to more money printing.
All of which is because sleazy mega corps like actiblizz get a free pass in doing whatever they want, and defrauding their customers. From things as āsmallā as claiming bgs are f2p, to much worse.
Influence, yes.
Drive down South American currency? not so much.
True, but since Australia is mostly insulated from that i did not mention it, even its something I know.
Agreed, but while bad fiscal policy contributed it was not the sole cause, the major cause in this case was mismanagement
If you donāt think that doesnāt equate to devaluing the economy and standard of living for the people there (and has for DECADES), I donāt know what to tell you. As of 2021, the us investments there totaled nearly a quarter of trillion dollars. That money isnāt going to feed, clothe or house people down there.
you say to-MAY-to I say to-MAH-to, you say po-TAY-to, I say po-TAH-toā¦
And the common thread is scummy mega corps like actiblizz getting away with thinking they are above the law.
Us company invests money in say Brazil, the Brazilian currency drops, this means the investment is worth less in US dollars.
My po-TAY-to version would be despite spending nearly quarter of a trillion dollars, the US has been unable to prevent the currency from depreciating.
