I think this game is a big scam, could you check if you did something wrong in the design phase?
Let me help you with the word “scam” since you’re confuse. Scam is a form of fraud legally this game isn’t a scam. There’s legal layers to this.
Noun
** a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation**
Verb
1.to deceive and defraud (someone)
2.to obtain (something, such as money) by a scam
As the legal definition I provided are shown in order for it to be a scam there must be trickery at play. Look below for examples.
“I bought a new car but I later find out the miles on the car were reverted I was scam out of my money.”
“I bought a new phone online but no phone came I was scam”
“A person who email me or call me repersent health care but I look the person up to find they don’t work there. I dodge being scam.”
These 3 examples are common to happen to people. A person who tricks and gain money from their victims. Impersonating to confuse.
Hearthstone is none of these. Players get cards by using gold or real money. Players buy adventures from shop and get it to play. People buy the game when it came out and still play. Often players will use the word “scam” to personal attack Blizzard. It is shown of thier lack of knowledge of the menaing of the word. The some is when players feel like it is a scam when it is not.
You’ve omitted some details that constitute fraud. In-game currency is purchased with real money, but the exchange rate is not 1:1, which leads people to lose track of how much they’re spending. In fact, Blizzard is facing lawsuits and antitrust investigations for this in another game, and will likely face them for Hearthstone as well. The matchmaking and RNG are heavily influenced by spending; there are various testimonies to this effect, and in my country, this is considered fraud. There are also various testimonies about matchmaking being rigged based on your deck to normalize wins to 50% for both you and your opponents; this is also considered fraud in my country. Do you want me to continue?
