We didn’t get a HeroStorm episode since 2021.aug.7, that’s almost a year.

When they released the compilations, I assumed it was because they weren’t gonna make new ones.
Can’t blame them. Takes resources and time to make vids, and as HotS players dwindle in numbers, it’s not profitable to make more.
I always loved HeroStorms and Carbot hots clips 
The humor was very witty and creative.

Main issue was likely lack of new content. They used to make a new episode involving new heroes or major changes around the time they were relevant. Not only has the lack of new content slowly reduced player count, but it also makes such videos generally less attractive.
As it is Carbot seems to be having issues holding Blizzard games as cartoon series. For the recent while they have been doing either paid promotions for non-blizzard games or Elden Rings to try and find a popular series. Even the D2 series has been intermittent despite Resurrected.
Streamers like Spiffing Brit have explained the problem with YouTube with regard to content creators like Carbot. Spiffing spends 2-4 hours doing a live stream of a game and yolos it and earns a ridiculous amount compared to a short animation sequence like Carbot does that takes days of man power to create. Even tech YouTubers like Linus from Linus Tech Tips have pointed out this unfairness when a live steam of them grabbing some hardware out the storeroom and building PCs unedited makes consistently more money than short videos that involve a lot of editing, preparation and complex props and scenes. For how much people enjoy Carbot’s animations they are almost certainly not earning as much as they deserve for them.

I love those cartoons! It also was like an advertisement for the game to new people to his Youtube channel.

This is not true. And they prob had ideas.
They said it that because the series didn’t perform well. That’s all. Not enough ppl watched it. Which is sad.
Because HotS ran out of new content… People started to move on from HotS and as they did, so did the viewer base for HeroStorms and the like.
Let us not forget that part of the income from HeroStorms was likely from Blizzard. HotS has many Carbot assets inside it. Again this has almost certainly dried up.

Yea, I agree that no content > no viewers > no series.
I just wanted to say, that many times they just added episodes that wasn’t about new content while there was new content.
I can see the HeroStorm clips at the very end only had 2-400.000 views.
Meanswhile Elden Ring and Diablo clips had 500k-3mio views. So I get why he stopped making them.
My main motivator for my comics was the slowdown and increased rarity on HeroStorm episodes.

Kara, as you already know I’m a big fan of your comic series. At least we have you here to carry the torch for HeroStorm with your wonderful comic series.
It’s a shame they have stopped producing content, but I understand and accept why they would stop. It really is a terrible shame that such a great game like Hots has had the misfortune to end up so underappreciated and overlooked.

We should just cherry what we have left. No one know how long Hots will keep on being active or how long this forum wil exists. They can if they want remove Hots forum if they decide just to stay on Reddit cause its waste of time having multiple dead Hots forums running.
US forum is like the most active one of all of them. EU, Oceana and German Hots forum are all dead.
