Some Hearthstone Players Have Been Offered 150 Free Booster Packs to Come Back to the Game
Some Hearthstone players are offered 150 free booster packs ($ 180 worth) to return to Blizzard’s Warcraft-themed card game.
As reported by PC gamer, Various Hearthstone players that have expired share that a huge number of cards were offered when they started playing again. The biggest offer was a voyage to the 75 Standard Pack and the 75 Sunken City Pack. Otherwise, the player will cost at least $ 179.96.
According to Blizzard, this offer is a “general industry practice.” “We perform many different, limited and targeted tests like this to better determine what is of interest to previous, new, or current players. This is common. It’s an industry practice, “a spokeswoman told PC Gamer.
“This was a region-specific test of Hearthstone in the United Kingdom and France, initially targeting a subset of related players randomly grouped before the corresponding offer of 20-150 packs was assigned. “
Nonetheless, the test has caused some dissatisfaction within the Hearthstone community as the game has been criticized for its microtransaction market. Reddit user Rich noteReceived all 150 packs and asked, “Why do you grind gold every day when you can’t play for a couple of months?”
Other users complained in the comments that they recently returned after the break but did not receive the pack. Other users have also said they’ve been playing Hearthstone every day for years and have never received anything like this. Given that Blizzard was testing free packs for expired players, it could be a more set reward in the future.
Hearthstone recently weakened the infamous Drek’Thar card (which could only be purchased for $ 25) and offered refunds to players who had already purchased it. Diamond Drek’Thar was released in early April due to its high price.
