Even digital goods can apparently suffer from inflation, something Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft (which still seems to have a large number of players worldwide) is now becoming an example of. Via a post on the game forum Blizzard reveals that it is raising prices in a number of key markets such as Australia, the UK, Japan and Ukraine. However, it does not appear that Sweden is included – at the moment.
“During the next week, along with the 25.4 update, the price of various Hearthstone in-game items will increase for some countries and regions, such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Australia, New Zeland, United Kingdom, Georgia, Turkey , Kazakhstan, Ukraine, South korea, Taiwan, and Japan. These adjustments will take place across all platforms and stores. Any initial price disparities across platforms will be resolved shortly after the 25.4 patch is released.”
It is not yet known how big the increase will be, but players in Argentina are already saying that it is a sevenfold increase on some items in the game.
