In all these TCGs you have a real object you can resell, In Hearthstone you won’t get anything back when your done with it.
I agree to a point, it does seem like they keep pushing their prices higher to see if they keep selling. This feels more like a $30-$40 Item.
They cut back to 1 board a year to put more development time into “pay” things. I need to know how free to play friendly the “pets system” will be to see if the development time being relocated from boards to other things feels “fair”. The games popularity is somewhat determined by the free to play portion of players otherwise they wouldn’t keep readjusting to keep them happy
