Playonlinux makes it easy to launch Hearthstone and play it on any Linux distro. I have a hard time to believe that Blizzard does not have enough resources to do QA.

I'm sure it does, they just not consider it economically viable.

What's to say they haven't, and decided the work involved would be too much for a commercial release.

Blizzard are well known for their approach of not releasing things until they're ready, and they won't want to kill that reputation for a Linux port.
