In the video below, Fool contributor Demitrios Kalogeropoulos discusses why he thinks the game will be a blockbuster on the tablet. A spinoff of Blizzard's popular World of Warcraft franchise, Hearthstone has been developed with both seasoned and casual gamers in mind, he says.

The best news for Activision investors, Demitrios argues, is that Hearthstone should generate substantial revenue for the company despite the fact that it is free to play.
