"But for as much of an outcry as there has been from some consumers, it hasn't been enough to stop people from buying from GameStop anyway."
Yeah, because they feel like they won't be able to get their hands on one of these from a normal (non-scumbag) source. Nintendo's artificial scarcity scam is enabling GameStop and ThinkGeek to pull scams of their own. It just snowballs. Bunch of greedy fucks. The world would be better off without GameStop.
Wow, these are some major changes to a game I figured they had pretty much given up on (new microtransactions aside). Sounds like they're walking back some of the Legacy of the Void changes. I'm definitely on board with that, but I have to wonder why it's happening now. It's too late.
When they added the war chests and all those cosmetics and other paid crap, they should have made SC2 free-to-play. Until they do that, I don't think it will gain back any of the playerbase it's lost since the Heart of the Swarm, which was SC2's peak. Adun toridas.
