Due to Hearthstone's fortnightly update cadence, Hearthstone Access has also needed an update every two weeks to keep it working."I simply don't have as much time as I once had to devote to it", Guide Dev wrote."With all the recent changes, it's gotten to a point where I think Hearthstone Access is just getting worse with every patch . This was never the intention - and I'm really not happy with it.

As Blizzard explained,"A project of this magnitude and importance will take time to complete. We're very sorry to our friends and players who won't have access to Hearthstone during this time.
