Overview
- Blizzard’s Battle.net shop, which added the Cozy Treehouse Retreat bundle Thursday, prices it at 7,500 Hearthsteel that converts to about $75 in real money.
- Players can buy the treehouse exteriors without the decor for roughly $40, while individual decor packs and items are also on sale through Hearthsteel.
- Hearthsteel is a premium currency sold through Battle.net that most players cannot practically earn in-game, though some note complex gold-to-token routes exist.
- Critics point to scarce in-game exterior choices that are faction-locked, and they compare the $40 price to several months of subscription or near an expansion’s cost.
- Coverage highlights Blizzard’s prior pledge that most housing items would be earnable and notes it has cut prices after outcry before, with no new adjustment announced for this bundle.
