I wanted to bring up why the Flight Safety video is not a cinematic replacement. The primary reason is that it isn’t timeless and does not have mass appeal.
When using content creators in an expansion dedicated video, it will inevitably become stale. At least one of these creators will eventually stop playing Hearthstone and then you have broken the link to the game.
The mass appeal issue is related to how this video resonates with potential players and those that are casual players. Most players do not know these content creators. They need to see characters from Hearthstone that they are familiar with, ideally with a catchy soundtrack.
In closing, I actually like the Flight Safety video. It just doesn’t cut it as a cinematic replacement. Can’t we have both?
