    If you think losing 5 in every 10 games because of pure RNG is fun then yes, Hearthstone is a great game.

    Build a better deck.

    GTA 5 has not sold so well on PC and the Multi player version (the one that is measured through Xfire) was not that good.

    It typically shows that on line competitive PC games are played LOOOOONG after they have been published.

    The fact that HS scores this high already in closed beta shows 2 things:

    LONG player sessions (good thing).

    Keeping the interest of beta players (another good thing).

    Of course I knew these last 2 things already when I watched my wife and son struggle to get to my only beta account every time I quit playing.

    Luckily they both have now a beta key too.

    Build better decks. You mean playing against other people or a computer? If it's against other people then a 50% winrate is what you should be getting. Lots of people expect higher winrates but for every person witha 50%+ winrate there's someone with a below 50% winrate. Then those people quit because they aren't winning enough and... la la la in circles down we go.

    Not sure though. BLZ usually start of with with a small beta invite then step it up notch by notch, the recent beta wave was massive ie. new players.
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    It's because GTA 5 isn't released yet on the PC.

    Bear in mind that:

    -It's new and exciting and sexy (all games have a honeymoon)
    -It's beta so it's sorta-pretend-exclusive
    -It's free.

    So we're probably seeing a big spike in activity that will go down in future. On the other hand, I have no idea why Blizzard doesn't just wind up the beta and sell the damn thing, I've played full games that are way less polished! Why won't they shut up and take my money?

    I don't know, ask the million beta players who keep on playing.

    Perhaps they have a better taste than you

    Xfire is only a good estimate of how much time people who use Xfire spend in each game anyway.

    I actually didn't know what Xfire was until now.

    Ouch didn't know about that one. But surely a bug fix would be easy.

    I'd assume Xfire is not that accurate, I mean I have a feeling the main reason those 2 Cod games are so high is due to so many people who bought those when they came out got into Xfire in a big way and if I am not mistaken is a great tool for those games in terms of finding matchs etc. I'd also assume that Dota2 is much much farther ahead. Today it had in the region of half a million playing at it's peak, that is half of all the people who currently are in the HS beta and I would assume at no point after the first few hours of release does a game have half of it's player base on at one time

    Not for this dev team. I had a bug where neither player could do anything and the timer never came up. I was in arena and had to quit to get out of it. It gave me my 1st loss and I was pretty annoyed. Went and looked at the forums and that same bug had been around for over a month with dozens of threads about it on the front page. I'm still not sure if it's fixed so I haven't done arena since. And the return cards from the board to owners hand causing them to stay on the table upside down, I saw them post they fixed the bug but I still see it constantly.

    No. Bug fixes are not easy. I'm sorry.
