Blizzard has apparently decided the best way to combat the Hearthstone-is-dying narrative is by releasing a $60 Ragnaros hero skin

Hearthstone's been around for a decade now, which is an awfully long time for a videogame. It's understandably not the behemoth it was back in its prime, although Blizzard reassured players in July that despite some less-than-ideal impressions, the game is not dying. And to prove it, Blizzard has done an absolutely normal thing for a game that's not dying and added a wee little fire-faced man who sits at the bottom of your screen, which you can have for your very own for just $60.

This is in fact Ragnaros the Firelord, the powerful Elemental Lord of Fire—a big deal (and a big problem) in World of Warcraft. He's somewhat more diminutive in Hearthstone, although he's still rocking an unnecessarily aggressive attitude. But at the end of the day, he's still just a little face sitting at the bottom of your Hearthstone screen, occasionally yelling at you and bonking or getting bonked, depending on how things are going.
