Lol I don't even want to know how much I've paid Blizz over the years. Not only the games, but nearly a decade of WoW (plus the occasional realm change, faction switch, and pet), crates in OW/HS, sometimes bundles in HotS...

Well, their product is consistently good and I've been playing their games since the 90s so I guess it's fine.

Edit: thanks for the link, now I know just how badly my Riot addiction was over the years...

The amount of money I've spent on DotA is surely in the thousands.

I am part of the problem I'm sure

My issue with HS type content is that the money you put in is so incredibly ineffective as getting quality experience out of. Buying 40 packs then opening garbage that you just can't use feels like a massive waste of money. That's partly why I'm more open to spend money in league/mtg. I can buy specifically what I want. I only spent money on adventures in HS for that very reason. If I was still playing I wouldn't mind $40 big adventures honestly. Most expansions have 50-70% filler cards so if you just cut those and make an adventure with the actual good cards it's pretty sweet.

Isn't mtg still random booster packs or are you talking about secondary market? I'm not familiar with that business model.

Also added up just Riot Point purchases that are in my inbox, about $335. Then again I did play pretty regularly for like 5+ years so I guess that's not too bad?

Secondary market. I'd prefer if MTG went with a model that didn't involve booster packs but I get that's how they operate and people love their format they made for it so it's just never going to be a game I can realistically get into fully. Can't justify myself spending money on boosters and can't justify how insane prices are for individual cards. I have cards online and I'm firmly in the "reprint everything until my collection is worthless so I can play the game". It'll always be a game for me and have nothing to do with investing money. Unfortunately too many people see it the opposite way, that's their right but it makes me a little sad.

Riot Points do add up. I've only spent 75 euros. Maybe it's a bit easier for me not to spend since I have to convert all the purchases by multiplying by 10-20 depending on currency lol. Actually still have 999 riot points chilling in my inventory waiting for a skin I really want.

edit:Honestly I'd still be playing HS if every expansion was 40-60 dollars for complete set. I don't really see issue with that either. They'll make lots of profit. It's just due to whales and addiction they make more money abusing people. Sigh. I kind of hate whales, no offence to any of you out there.

At this point I think I've made back in Blizzardbux as much as I've spent, except for maybe what I've spent on WoW subscriptions.

SEE: I'm only a Hearthstone whale because I'm not spending real money.

Oh absolutely. But idk man, just opening 50 packs feels so good, even if I don't get a lot (but with that many, you're guaranteed at least something good).


Hearthstone has two fundamental problems at the moment. First, if you're a new or long-absent player getting into the game is a pretty tough climb unless you drop money. Second, now that so many deck archetypes are heavily reliant on very specific and often expensive legendaries and epics, it's incredibly difficult to determine if a given deck archetype is something you'll enjoy or not before you commit your dust.

Those aren't the only issues, but most of Hearthstone's other problems are either exacerbated by them, or directly caused by them.


No argument here.

I've been playing a tempo/freeze elemental Shaman with Moorabi recently and it's really hilariously fun. I've got ~60% win rate right now (below rank 10, so...) over like 30-40 games. I'll post the deck link at some point.

Yeah... I thought I'd spent a lot of money on LoL... and I was right.

Hot damn.

Good thing I still play I guess?

I spent $25 on League and I think I gifted my brother that amount. I'm a tad of a f2p fanatic. I spent $2 on HS for a golden legendary you never use :D I did have to dust some goldens this morning because I can't go on trying to make rogue work without vilespines. I kept all the neat/useful ones of course

I know I emptied the several dozens € I still had in my phone (from prepaid cards, I bought like one a year and didn't even use all its credit so the next one made it carried over) when I switched operators, since that was the only way I found to unload it at the time, and I probably paid 20-30€ twice or thrice figuring "I spent over 50h on that game, may as well give them money."

I love Moorabi in concept and have my own variation, but in practice there really need to be a few more cards that key off of freezes for a Moorabi deck to be competitive. Having just Moorabi and Ice Breaker is too little for the synergy to really function.

MtG also has limited. Even if you drop $100 for a box and open total garbage, you got 12 drafts or 6 sealeds out of the deal.

It didn't help when Modern became a format and basically ruined the market.

Yeah, but Legacy has been so bonkers for forever that a lot of the hot Standard cards would drop in price when they rotated out. Now it just rolls into Modern and is a lot likely to drop.
