Community responds to Hearthstone update
In terms of community responses, player Tom "Meati" Wayland noted that the update is great news. Meanwhile, Zeddy stated that it's "Some actual good news for Hearthstone."
For added context, Hearthstone recently posted an announcement promising to improve its communication with the community. The announcement acknowledged the lack of a new board in the Perils in Paradise expansion, teased the ability to select one's favorite boards, and hinted at the arrival of pets. However, the community, Zeddy included, raised concerns about monetization.
