26. Conclusion
• Throughout our analysis we came to the
conclusion that it is not efficient to focus on a
group either spends more money or time.
• It would be better for Hearthstone managers
to follow the strategy of targeting all the
players while making critical decision on
improvements of the game rather than
targeting a specific group of players.
