Hey everyone, Stonekeep here with an important notice.
My contract with ZAM (the company that owns Hearthstone Top Decks) has ended, so I will no longer be updating the website. I know that the timing isn’t great, given that CATACLYSM launch is just around the corner, and I apologize for that. I’m still looking forward to the new expansion, so we might run into each other in the game!
I’ve been writing about Hearthstone since 2015, and running Hearthstone Top Decks and all of its socials for the last 7 years. Talking about the game I love has been a dream job for me, and it was only possible because of your support. Thank you for reading the articles, tuning in for the expansion coverage, and sending me your cool decks – I couldn’t do it for so long without all of you.
I’m sure you have questions about the future of the website itself, but I can’t give you any answers right now, since that’s not up to me anymore. Please wait for official communication from ZAM.
As you can probably guess, I’m looking for a new job right now. Ideally, I’d like to keep making Hearthstone content, but I don’t know if that’s going to work out. If not, anything related to writing (preferably about games), managing content or social media would be great. You can contact me at stonekeephs@gmail.com
Haven’t been playing the game for more than a year now but I have still been looking at this site to keep up with the news. Speaks volumes about the quality of your work. Thanks a lot for all that you have done.
Is it already 100% certain that there will not be an extension to the contract? I get that this isn’t necessarily the end of the website but let’s be honest, you did most of the work (at least that’s what it looked like to an outsider like me). So leaving all personal biases aside, it’s almost certainly guaranteed that the future of the site will be different without you, and there is just no guarantee that it will be the same quality or better.
Thx for been a essencial part of this awesome community!!! I`ve read your articles on this site, and on others for as long as ive search hearthstone on the internet. Hope to see you soon gl hf!
Been a daily player and visitor for years, thank you so much for everything you’ve done to contribute to our community!
Best of luck in your search I hope nothing but the best for you.
It’s so sad Stone. :/ We hope you get a new job soon. <3
You’ve done an amazing job and i hope you’ll find a place to continue what you love ! thanks for all your good work !
THis is a sad news! I hope they will continue the contract somehow
i’m so sad Stone, you are one of the few certainty here…. good luck and all the fortune for you man
Sorry to hear this. You and Old Guardian have been staples for so long. I’ve played HS since beta, and I cannot remember when exactly I started needing deck lists, but this has been my primary site for decks and news every since I found it. Thank you, and good luck on your future endeavors.
This exchange we shared in 2019 on the third Descent of Dragons card review will always have office space in my head.
“So looking over the review for the Druid sidequest card and how awkward it is to fit in an existing recipe, what you’re saying is… The card can’t Secure a Deck?”
“You could say that I… Cleared the Way for that joke.”
Stonekeep, thank you for being a fixture all these years. May there be unironic “Well played” emotes cast in your general direction wherever you go.
Sad to see this. You’ve done a great job and have brought joy to many. Thanks for all your contributions to HTD over the years. I will miss your content. Best of luck to you! I will look for you on X
This has been my go to place for everything hearthstone for so long I can’t remember (but given above it must be 7 years!)
I hope you find something for the future – always appreciated the measured and always joyful tone you take, no doubt you will find success in your next step.
HTD was probably my most visited site for roughly the past 10 years, so I’m very sad with this news. Thank you so much for all the good work for all these years. Hearthstone will not be the same for me going forward from here. Good luck in finding a new job! Best regards from Belgium.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
May you find a job soon™ that will make you happy.
Also, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Thank you for everything you have done for the game and for me as a player!
For years this was the only site i checked almost daily, only recently i have added reddit.
Good luck finding a new job where you can use your hs skills and earn money doing the thing you love 🙂
This site was my prime source of Hearthstone- related news. I greatly appreciate your work and devotion. We gonna miss you here!
Dzięki. Powodzenia!
Hey, thank you for your amazing work! This site was my only source of hs news since I found it eons ago. All the other sites are somewhat mediocre compared to this one. So thank you and Old guardian for your efforts!
If this site becomes something other, than it was until now, I will quit hs too. You kept my attention towards it.
I’m so bummed out about this, I might quite HS, too. There isn’t any website quite like HTD.
Hearthstone Top Decks was my go-to for everything Hearthstone since I started playing. I appreciated all of the articles, the card reveals, the latest news, the optics (really awesome) and for me, today is a sad day.
I always appreciated your efforts to make this a great source of information for us. I wish you only the best in your future endeavours.
I don’t usually write on this site but I belive a big thank you is in order here. This site has always been my preferred one since I started played in 2016 so exactly 10 years. A big thank you for all your work and the amazing support , thank you for your service, wish you the best.
Thanks for the great work. This has always been my go to for news on HS, and a favorite on my phone for years. Good luck in the future
Was a great time all those years, thank you for your service!
Do zobaczenia 😉
