How many of today's Hearthstone players does that describe? Obviously there's a healthy population of Blizzard fanboys out there that will give up their firstborn to play Overwatch, but when you look at this game's competition and see stuff like free MOBAs, free TF2, or $20 but frequently on sale CS:GO - what is this game going to do to prove to the wider gaming market that it's worth $40? Especially when
- Heroes of the Storm is free and afaik couldn't beat the two largest MOBAs, even with the weight of Blizzard behind it
- I don't think this style of game is likely to capture the Call of Duty crowd that
would pay a lot for this sort of game
I admit this is a total HOT TAKE and I could definitely be wrong. But that's why I said this price point seems like lol Blizzard.
