Hearthstone has received its fair share of flak due to how much it can cost to progress throughout its lifetime. Case in point: it's a collectable card game distributed almost solely through random packs, with the quickest way to power up your account being to drop $200+ each expansion.
The frustrations around this fact came to a head this month as the Battlefront II fiasco led players to reflect on the state of microtransactions in games. In response, Blizzard say they are continuing to reevaluate the cost of Hearthstone, but that they’re providing “a sense of value for your time spent with the game” already.
Here are all the new Kobolds & Catacombs cards you’ll be spending money on.
“Even when it comes to Hearthstone as a game, from day one it has been about what creates the best value for the player,” art director Ben Thompson tells me. “In the kind of experiences that we offer, the kind of value that players feel they're getting for packs to cards to the loot boxes [at the end of an Arena run], or any of the kind combined.”
