New Battlegrounds reward track (and currency)

Not liking the runestones but from what (very little) I understand it’s kind of necessary to get around gambling laws in some places.

BG has gotten way too popular and blizzard wasn’t making any money on it. Simple as that.

We’re being asked to pay 15 dollars? To unlock the additional hero choices and heroic track for 4 months.

Raise your hand if you never once went out to eat, (even fast food) in the last 4 months?

If you love this mode and want it to be around… the expectation to pay 5 dollars a month or less is pretty minimal.

I mean seriously. We are talking like a singular domestic draft at a sit-down restaurant here folks.

I don’t really want to come off as an elitist snob but complaining about being asked to spend a few real dollars if you’re a dedicated fan of this mode is pretty cringe.

I can somewhate agree in a general principle with the idea of supporting games or modes you enjoy or otherwise just not paying to continue playing for free.

However, I think part of the problem is the idea that Blizzard wasn’t making money off the game mode.

If BGs were blizzards only game mode, sure I can understand monetizing it to continue supporting the developers to continue the game.

However, there are all the other game modes that all have monetization that more than easily support the developers as they dont have separate teams or companies.

There are such things as loss leaders that companies use to attract people to have them spend money elsewhere. There are plenty of ways to incentivize the popularity of BGs into getting people to play other game modes and spending money there potentially.
