Blizzard's Hearthstone is one of the most successful PC & mobile card games but a growing number of players complains that it is getting stale.
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft launched in March 2014 and since then it relied on releasing new cards and card packs as the only way to keep the game fresh.
"I want Hearthstone to be played over a long period of time – certainly over many years," said director Eric Dodds. "There are a lot of questions that we’re talking about internally that need to be answered. One of those issues does surround the adding of new cards, because we know we can’t just keep adding cards forever. It’s important to figure out solutions to that kind of thing."
Dodds admitted that most of Hearthstone development team believe that new expansions and cards are the obvious way forward, but he is not really convinced. The director affirmed that Blizzard is committed to "maintain the long-term health of the game" and that their "intention [is] to make sure the game is supported and does well for many years to come;" however, they are "not ready to pitch a solution yet."
