So in addition to making meteorite powder more expensive (twice as expensive in some parts of the world) they've also simultaneously decided to downgrade (more) premium animations. What a disgrace. At this point Gwent Homecoming is just similar to the Warcraft III 'Reforged' disaster. It's one thing that they released lesser qualities premiums as of late that people can actually choose whether they'd wanna spend money on it or not, but to reduce in quality items people have already paid for? Oh and of course, no dev stream would have ever mentioned this. It gets the hush-hush treatment.
When I played the Witcher 3 (+ DLC) it was such a good experience for a low prize it felt like stealing. Gwent now has the opposite feeling. Investing money into one thing and the developers casually turn it into something else completely. Sure, they'll have every legal right etc. not gonna argue with that. But it's so incredibly uncongenial to do. People buy high quality boards and cards and then when the purchase is made they just downgrade it. This is even worse than when they reduced the gore in specific cards (rather than to just introduce a filter for adolescents)
Here's a prime example: https://gwent.one/video/card/premium/200083.mp4 (Iris Companions) feel free to compare this to the current in-game version. They simply changed it to the running premium animation (meaning it barely does anything) rather than the complete, original one.
