About their new card game:


1. Base game cost $20

2. You can only buy packs with money, no way to get free cards

3. You can get literally useless cards (not just bad, actually useless) from packs

3. You have to pay to play competitive

4. You have to pay to play draft

5. Impossible to "go infinite" in draft due to mmr system guaranteeing a ~50% win rate, which has no payout

6. No trading confirmed, only way to get specific cards is on the marketplace where Valve takes a percent

Nah it's true. The useless cards in question are the starter cards which you literally cannot do anything with duplicates. Nothing. You can't cash them in for some ghetto money, you can't sell them for 1 cent in the market place, you can't use them in a deck. Literally useless as he said.

Wow, this sounds like a worse version of Hearthstone (the monetization model of it, not the gameplay).

So I did and apparently Valve announced today they were going to do something about the duplicate card situation.

Also I didn't even realize Artifact was going to be a Valve game lol

It just boggles my mind. Why do you need that much money? Every year for the international, players give valve over $100 million. And it never seems like it's enough

They are doing this because they want to do it. Not because they need money.

That is the worst monetization model I've ever seen. Even the most greedy phone games give you at least some way to earn free stuff.

Some people still hold out hope for a new half-life and the Valve of yester years which is not coming back.

Valve has been irrelavent since 2011, the remaining fans need to move on to companies that actually make games, good games not has beens.

People will play it because theyre supporting the shit out of it with tournaments and prizes. That means streamers will focus on it, which means itll have tons of exposure.

Valve has less business sense than a corner street drugdealer tbh. Everyone knows you gotta get people hooked on your product before raking them over the coals emboar

They could've just not made this game and continued making bank just putting in the bare minimum to keep Steam running. People have already been migrating away from Steam, the last thing you do is give them actual reason to do so.
