Folks I can not figure out what two words to use in the thumbnail here. Any ideas? Didn't want it to be too dramatic or clickbaity, in respect to Jason and the book, so no "WTF BLIZZ" or whatever.
After having read many of Mr. Schreier's hard-hitting (but very accessible!) articles on different topics in Game Development, the people inside it, and the highs & lows of gamer/geek/internet culture, it was very cool to hear him speak about one such topic in person! Good job being an entertaining & charming Interrogator, Regis! And kudos to you for landing an interview with Mr. Schreier, who, to a lot of folks like myself, is holding the torch for incisive game journalism in an otherwise corporately-dictated information space.
I'm gonna just say it: I'd love to see you do more interviews. I know you feel it's a great departure from your usual content, but I think you are so natural here and would definitely tune in for more content like this. But don't stop doing Marvel Snap... or I won't have anyone to watch.
Fantastic video, I’m an really old Blizzard gamer. I know Blizzard by WarCraft: Orcs and Humans and the following sequels and StarCraft and it’s sequels and Diablo so delays in video game releases was absolutely the norm back then but what you got in return was near perfection. The price of the game never mattered because you were getting a piece of interactive art that was going to entertain you for years. Marvel Snap is my first card game so knowing this backstory Snaps monetization truly makes sense now. Can’t wait to pick up this book to learn even more. Thank you Regis you continue to raise the bar it was a great interview and I can’t wait to see more.
Really awesome video, Regis. I’ve always enjoyed your content, but never expected this kind of deep dive into industry changes with experts like Schreier. Would love to see more of this! Seriously, great job with this interview!
Interesting discussion around Ben Brode and monetisation, when I would argue Marvel Snap is way more predatory than Hearthstone with it's design and bundles. As an old school gamer, these micro transaction and gambling systems disgust me. Yet since it's so profitable they run with it and we the consumer eat it up. Global approach would be required to reign in these systems.
I agree. As a working adult, at least if I spend a bit upfront at the start of an expansion in Hearthstone I can have access to most of the cards. By contrast, in Marvel Snap I have to grind for hours and hours to unlock the cards that are in meta decks. I got Infinite in my first week playing and it was nice because I was mostly playing against players with the same cards. Now I play against players with collection levels that are like 13,000 and I'm 240. If I want to catch up it seems like a ton of time and effort that I just don't have. I'd rather spend 40 or whatever on an expansion, craft whatever else I need, and start playing good decks.
This was so unexpected and amazing to see. This seemed like an odd pairing to me, I never would have seen it coming, but the thing you two have in common is just an unwavering commitment to conscientiousness. Keep up the great work, I'd love to see more content like this.
I got this video recommended to me literally seconds after having a conversation about hearthstone's decline and marvel snap's possible overtaking, Regis must be psychic :) really interesting talk, you both did great!
Great video, I've heard Jason Schreier's name a ton in news channels, I'm one of the people who've followed you for years and years I still perfer Hearthstone as a game over snap, but Snap is my "break" game where i can play for 3 minutes while waiting for something. I love that Jason allowed you to do this because you are not an outrage youtuber! Keep up the good work hopefully for years to come!
I don't understand the hate around hearthstone, its one of the best free to play auto-battlers of all time. It does have this weird deckbuilding mode where you get some cards from the main game but they cost mana instead of gold. Thankfully that part of the game is not very successful and most of the amazing content is gathered around the main auto-battler game mode.
Hey Regis! Greatly enjoyed this interview, and you did a swell job! One editing note: you seem to have included both the original (with internet connectivity issues) and revised takes of Jason’s call-to-action the end. The original take that, I imagine, you intended to remove begins at 48:09 and ends at 49:35. If you cut that segment, the connection loss would be removed. Seriously, though, great interview, and thanks for making this happen!
I appreciate this interview and I think the author has put in a great deal of time and effort. Having said that, for pretty much all companies here is the Way that it all plays out. company makes a good product. cares about it. people like it. they are successful. they get greedy. allow themselves to be purchased by or turned into corporation corporation. cares only about shareholders. make greedy terrible decisions, destroy reputation of company destroy company dies and the world goes round.
It's always strange to me how much of a pass Ben Brode gets in these discussions. Like we are talking about him getting mad they are monetizing dungeon runs and other things, but the game he ran off to make is even more aggressively monetized than hearthstone ever had been. Additionally this is guy who created patches let it sit the entire expansion without a nerf, I think only nerfed on rotation or at least when the expansion was over. Claimed unicorn priest existed when everyone knew that was cap, and drove warsong commander into the ground then said " players don't realize how good she is". Hearthstone was always a super greedy game, and I feel strange giving Ben so many props when again his solution was a more greedy game. The guy is clearly a great designer, but he is not this white knight of experience over profit
I love Hearthstone, I will continue to absolutely love the shit out of Hearthstone, but after the announcement from the Hearthstone Team "beginning their transparency by getting ready to be more transparent in future updates and we're also removing new play boards each expansion", I feel really bad to be a devotee. Second Dinner and Snap does have its problems that can't be argued, but at least they are actively engaged with the community and releasing new and exciting content. In Hearthstone, we are still waiting for a Monk class and any semblance of game balance.
@@ElShamoo you literally just made that up, the game is better than ever more features, cards, they're improving card acquisition and they also regularly put surveys out and new events. half the new features i was able to vote on. two of my friends have almost complete collections with less than 100 dollars spent since start, they do balance patches faster rate than any other card game. the game is doing great. if you don't like it that's fair but just dropping nonsense is wild.
@@bigbellyobie6204 Improving card aquisition by making us use 4 keys everyweek and nerfing tokens in the caches to 100, justifying economy balancing?? What economy?
I think Marvel has come to save us from Blizzard. For those that believe Hearthstone has failed, now there’s Marvel Snap. Not a fan of Overwatch? Well now we’re getting Marvel Rivals.
My primary motive in leaving Hearthstone was simply that I liked Snap better, because of the shorter game time, smaller decks, and more interesting IP, all of which are a matter of personal preference. Still, by the time I left was happy to leave behind the constant controversy of the company. It was really nice to revisit and receive some clarity on that, so thank you to both of you for doing this interview. The two most interesting exchanges to me were the revelation that Dungeon Run, not Battlegrounds, was the main catalyst for change, and the discussion about Blizzard having 10/10 days and 0/10 days. That last bit is particularly relevant to my work as a pastor because I hear similar things from people who were hurt by their churches. It's always heartbreaking when a community that has so much good to offer ends up causing harm instead.
I remember being SOOO psyched for 'Starcraft: Ghost' and was totally bummed to hear it got cancelled. I think after that project Blizzard slowed releasing info about games in development.
I think unfortunately Brode just traded one kind of corporate revenue pressure for another. Marvel Snap has big investors who demand returns, an expensive license to cover I suspect, and a team that swelled in size very quickly. I wish they had been able to find a different path so that the game was more favorable to players. Really a shame.
spent quite a bit on snap and i left it a while back, it's too much for too little. even hearthstone was more generous lol. i just play legends of runeterra's pve mode nowadays for my card game fix. snap would've been awesomer if card acquisition was sane
I do have complicated feelings. I gave literally a year of my life to WoW in one way or another. I have nothing specific that drove me away, but learning about the company after definitely fed my decision to never give them any of my money again. I can't fault my friends who never stopped playing or have gone back to see recent offerings, but it does make me a little sad that they never really suffered in the marketplace. They had failed titles but the company plugged along.
This somehow feels like the weirdest crossover episode with all the Overwatch content I consume(d)... and yet it makes perfect sense. Can't wait to dive into this.
I love hearthstone and always will. I'm too invested to ever want to stop playing I don't really mind what they do or add to the game. I really really just don't want it to end!
Great interview! Kind of sad and ironic people left Blizzard when it started pushing on monetization of Hearthstone and then creating Second dinner and Snap which is all about micro transactions, very stingy card acquisition model embracing many anti-user predatory tactics!
I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm excited too. I went through this. I was the Hearthstone whale. Haven't touched it since the day I started playing snap in beta.
OMG, I literally had a dream last night that I met Regis and told him how much I love his collaboration videos (he hardly ever does videos with other people). I PREDICTED THIS IN MY SLEEP. For proof, check my comment from this morning on his last video.
Haha, I read that. I honestly get kinda nervous doing collabs for whatever reason. I don't know why, they're always fun (I mean, this one was more informative than like streamer stuff), but just the scheduling and fear of being awkward always holds me back.
@@RegisKillbin I really love your insights during card reviews or deck intros and I think collabs are a great vehicle for more discussion based videos. I get that they might feel awkward though if it's not something you typically do. Really glad to see you doing this interview with Jason! I'm a big fan of Jason's reporting and I was looking forward to this book.
9:28 this was always my favorite thing about Regis and Trump. They’ve never really been the type to try and build up a story for views. Just some authentic sincere gamers.
Regis, it wasn't the SA. No one was shocked by that. It's the hypocrisy. They were self proclaimed paragons of morality, when in fact they were the biggest abusers. The last good thing they came up with was SC2, but the story kinda took a weird turn after Heart of the Swarm. W Hearthstone, they over monetized it because they thought they didn't have a competitor. But then there was one, and they got owned. Now Snap is going that way w the monetization.
The classic story of the finance team vs the creative team. It always just seems so stupid and shortsighted to me. Can't any finance guy realize that turning the focus away from making a fun product that customers enjoy and toward ever-increasing profits might make more money in the short term, but ruins the company's reputation and therefore ability to make sustainable profit in the long-term? But I suppose for a C-suite guy, they don't care, because in a few years they're going to move to some other company and be able to put on their resume that they increased shareholder value by 200%. What they don't put on their resume is that they decreased the company's reputation by 200% as well.
I was a hardcore Blizzard supporter but once they sold their soul to Activision and the original office started leaving especially when Chris Metzen and Mike Morhaime left I stopped playing all their games.
The last hearthstone expansion i bought was titans for two reasons, it gets expensive always buying sets to keep up with good/fun cards and youre not guaranteed every card which i think is crazy considering i use to spend 120 for the 80 and 40 dollar bundle, i still play overwatch but im.not spending 20-30 dollars for one skins on a character that doesnt change even the voice or weapon sounds, corportate greed took over blizzard and they stopped caring, the games teams cant even blame bobby anymore its just pure laziness Edit: i only play battle grounds on hearthstone now and i only buy the ten dollar battle pass on overwatch otherwise everything is expensive
I find it sad that women are saying they had the best experience in their life at a job where a woman self deleted and other women had breast milk stolen. I just find it so hard to believe there were not so many other problems lol
when i heard ben brode was leaving hearthstone i had to play marvel snap as soon as it came out, fastfoward to today the only game i play is marvel snap and i uninstalled hearthstone, wow, ow and blizzard launcher after releasing how far the company fell lol
Folks I can not figure out what two words to use in the thumbnail here. Any ideas?
Didn't want it to be too dramatic or clickbaity, in respect to Jason and the book, so no "WTF BLIZZ" or whatever.
Too soon!
"Even crazier than told" I suck for titles xd but this is so crazy, I've been looking forward since the reddit ama he made

Now we know
Book Interview!
Holyyyy, I've been watching your Hearthstone videos and listening to Jason's podcast for years. This is a crossover I never anticipated!

I’ve been listening to the book and LOVING it. Just got to Part II. Will come back to this when im finished!
Binged the last couple chapters because the corporate politics were just too fascinating and the lessons taken was great.
This was a great interview, thank you for sharing 🙌
I genuinely enjoyed this interview, Regis. Would love to see more interviews/long form content from you!
Loved the vid, you're pretty damn good at moderating an interview Regis! Would happily watch more.
I’m here for more interviews if you have any in the future to come, you did PHENOMENAL.

Danggg Regis! Dropping a hot vid this late !! Heck yessss
This is such a weird but cool crossover tbh. The book is super interesting because Blizzard always had this type of mystic in the video games business

That was great! I already wanted the book, and this just confirmed that!

Nobody respects him anymore but the industry.
New book to get! As someone who has largely been an outsider to Activision Blizzard this seems super interesting
Actual GENIUS!
That thumbnail game is still going strong btw
Savage that Regis is "We have Ben Brode at home" o7
This topic is very interesting to me. I was a huge blizzard fan and watching their downfall is sad but also well deserved.
I remember being SOOO psyched for 'Starcraft: Ghost' and was totally bummed to hear it got cancelled. I think after that project Blizzard slowed releasing info about games in development.
I'm surprised to hear about the conflict between creativity and monetization within blizzard given how aggressively monetized marvel snap is

Oh this should be interesting
Let’s go blizzard talk Regis!!!
ya ya. how do you make your hair do that?

Damn, new Hearthstone meta is crazy
Oh wow what a surprise
Wouldn't it be interesting if Regis evolved into the Rick Beato of videogames?
Blizzard died after Wrath , and the final nail was the comment " dont you people have phones "
Its so sad. I miss how fkn great OverWatch used to be
Regis, it wasn't the SA. No one was shocked by that. It's the hypocrisy. They were self proclaimed paragons of morality, when in fact they were the biggest abusers. The last good thing they came up with was SC2, but the story kinda took a weird turn after Heart of the Swarm. W Hearthstone, they over monetized it because they thought they didn't have a competitor. But then there was one, and they got owned. Now Snap is going that way w the monetization.
It kinda all started with the diablo mobile game at least for me that was the turning point
"Blizzard's downfall" you are talking about Diablo 4, Overwatch 2 or the lawsuits about milk ?
WHA!! JASON SCHREIER FROM TRIPLE CLICK!!! IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!

Battlegrounds was a missed financial opportunity, but I am glad they missed out.
What a magnificent coif
Heroes of the Storm got shutdown in 2018. Not a coincidence i'd say :D
I left after they killed Duels in HS
I find it sad that women are saying they had the best experience in their life at a job where a woman self deleted and other women had breast milk stolen. I just find it so hard to believe there were not so many other problems lol
There are so many ads playing during this I just stopped watching part way through, I’m sorry Regis.

Not the kind of video I was expecting let alone with Jason Schreier.
