Since this could be seen as remotely related to what we do over here:
Judging by the levels of activity in the Hearthstone section I suppose this won't catch anyone's attention, but for me personally this looks just like a desperation move.
Haven't played the game in a while, found the removal of the classic mode super stupid and frankly don't really care, just found it interesting how Blizzard actively chose to not even mention StarCraft in recent years' BlizzCons, but just NOW they introduce a crossover they should've done 8 years ago, when both games where actually healthy.

I used to be heavily invested in Hearthstone as well. I left a few years ago, mainly because the design issues where the game was not build for longevity caught up to them, and the band-aids rubbed me the wrong way. At one point, I had 3 versions of the same card which worked in different modes.
And of course the predatory monetation model. 80€ for the expansion bundles is simply way too much for that kind of game, and being forced grind 30-90 min. a day to stay on top of the cards was not fun anymore.
Bringing SC characters into that game seems super weird. Did they really run out of Warcraft-ish things to make cards about?
I stopped playing HS in 2020, but as someone who was really into custom hearthstone cards for a few years I always thought these kinds of crossovers were way too cheesy. Plus, amateur custom card creators would attempt it all the time. I'm honestly kind of surprised to see this - the integration of Diablo into BG already felt like it was pushing it and that was one hero out of dozens in one gamemode (though in the end it kind of worked for me).
