Argentina’s “Hearthstone” lesson gold prices increased, and Taiwan also slightly adjusted | 4 Gamers

With the release of the 25.4 update file today, Hearthstone players in dozens of countries discovered overnight that the price of the “Rune Stone” gold token used for card packs, skin purchases, etc. has increased.

The modification affects more than a dozen countries around the world, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Georgia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan .

Let’s first look at Taiwan, where you live There are not many adjustments in Taiwan Compared to the previous price, the price of 2000 rune stones has increased by NT$10, while the price of 5000 rune stones and 8000 runestones decreased by NT$2 (not for you. Misunderstood, it’s a price reduction), and runestones of other units have not been adjusted.

But players from other countries are not so lucky. Many prices have doubled, tripled, or even more than 7 times. Argentina was the worst hit this time. The original price of 500 rune stones was 120 pesos, but after the price increase, it became 899 batches. So, 8,000 rune stones were priced at 1,980 pesos, and now it has become 14,399 pesos, an increase of more than 7 work.

This time Blizzard is clearly using the US dollar to readjust the sales in each country. The unit is 5 US dollars for 500 runs. And Argentina, already suffering from severe inflation, suffered the worst. Rane, an Argentinian Hearthstone esports event reviewer and esports reporter, said the largest package unit (8,000 rune stones) was equivalent to half a month’s salary of an ordinary person.

Foreign media believe that this price adjustment will affect the “Hearthstone” market in many countries. Due to the different living costs in different regions, the strategy of unifying the price in the US dollar may force many players to stop playing “Hearthstone”. In addition, some people accused Blizzard of adjusting prices in Turkey and Ukraine, because the people of these countries are now threatened by earthquakes and wars.

Not to mention, Blizzard has now lost the Chinese market, and the e-sports scale of “Hearthstone” has also shrunk significantly this year. The “Mercenary Mode” was even closed due to the lack of customization. The future of “Hearthstone” ” may have to continue to be observed.
