Summary
Bellular critiques Blizzard's $75 player housing bundle pricing strategy, arguing it's excessively expensive compared to the expansion itself and comes at a time when the housing system suffers from bugs, missing features, and unclear direction. He analyzes whether housing can become another monetization success like the Brutosaur mount and questions if Blizzard is reading player sentiment correctly.
Key Points
- Housing bundle costs 7500 Hearthsteel (~$75), more expensive than Midnight expansion
- Housing honeymoon period already cracking due to bugs and missing features
- Blizzard appears to be testing housing as next major monetization win like the Brutosaur
- No clear roadmap communicated to players about housing's future direction
- Timing of aggressive monetization clashes with community frustration over incomplete system
