Blizzard does wish it had warned them ahead of time.
Earlier this month Hearthstone players were surprised, and some were more than a little upset, to discover that upcoming expansion Perils in Paradise would not have its own custom game board, the background on which a Hearthstone match is played. It quickly led to many doom-and-gloom predictions that this was the beginning of the end for Hearthstone, the start of a degradation of service t hat would lead to its cancellation—like Blizzard’s Heroes of the Storm before it.
Blizzard’s development team has now responded by pretty much saying « We’re not dying, honest. » Instead Blizzard wants Hearthstone players to know that it’s pivoting a bit on how Hearthstone updates are made while shifting some resources to other parts of Hearthstone, like player personalization—not to other projects entirely.
