This video
features Blizzard designer Ben Brode, who addresses "the dark side of
releasing new content" for Hearthstone, their virtual card strategy
game (thanks
GameSpot). There are different ways to interpret that, but his
specific focus is how the release of new content for Hearthstone involves ever
more powerful virtual cards, which can diminish the power of older cards and
cause a perpetual upward spiral in power. He notes that brand new players and
veterans have a different take on this topic, and that the scope of the game can
already be daunting for newbies while existing players complain about the "power
creep" caused by new cards. He explains that this is a natural part of making
expansions exciting and shifting the meta, but Blizzard agrees that there is a
problem, and Ben describes this as a Catch-22, saying they continue to discuss
the issues involved, saying they want to come up with the perfect solution ("if
there is one") going forward, though he is short of answers right now.
