Naturally, I accidentally decided to read something from reddit this morning.

It was regarding the reward system revamp for Hearthstone.

I want to remind everyone that while the system has benefits and consequences compared to the old, there is something to note /1

Hearthstone is a luxury item, and quite excessively one, to be honest.

As consumers, we actively go OUT OF OUR WAY to play Hearthstone. That is the idea of the product being sold. It is meant to be purchased and enjoyed.

It’s worth considering who develops stuff like this. /2

The people who develop stuff like system rewards do not actively see any dollar contribution made towards Hearthstone. They are paid by the company and do not have some evil incentive to squeeze you out of more money.

Directing insults as feedback is not a proper response. /3

Insults are likely to have the opposite effect. I encourage you to voice your ideas as you would want criticism of yourself to be heard. Ya know — not one of questioning your very moral foundation for the design of a system of rewards within a luxury item. /4

Be thankful you’re able to enjoy luxuries. Be free to express criticism. But also, don’t be a dick.

Happy November 17th
