    True face of Valve and #GabeNewellMore.
    Third-party game designer Richard Garfield must be involved because Valve does not have true designers. Saying people are dumb because not understand how amazing an is Artifact.
    Monetized like other games where people spend money without hesitation like P2W Chinese garbage DOTA2 only because it is DOTA2. All scammed players don't get any refund;    True face of Valve and #GabeNewellMore.

    All scammed players don't get any refund; they can "sell cards on Steam Store". Valve "develop" a second version, but without Garfield (which ran like a rat because "artifact was complete") they failed quickly. But don't forget to congratulate yourself on how successful it was.
    Valve is detached from reality and their only hope is sales on Steam with a 30 % margin. The ugly immoral business of people, which not deserve even one cent.

    Why Gabe!? Why did you made artifact instead of giving some cool updates for DOTA 2?!

    The greedy Gabe Newell made the most greedy game. And when it failed without having time to take off, for several years he made this ridiculous product free of charge. A shameful sight.

    Half Life 3 died for this. Valve should just let this die too. And start making proper games again.

    For now Artifact has smaller player base than Gothic 2 (a 17 years old single player game). Enough said.

    After buying the game you still have to spend a huge amount of money on cards.
    Are you kidding me? A paid game with pay to win aspects? Who thought this was a good Idea?
    One of the worst games I ever saw.

Almost.

    The lessons you should learn, dear reader, are simple: show up 10 minutes early, don't double dip and listen to advice when they tell you that shirt does NOT go with that jacket.

    Lord Gaben decided to finally delve into the CCG market. . . unfortunately he did so years too late. Now he faces down competition like Gwent, Hearthstone and of course, the massive machine known as Magic the Gathering. Then, Valve decides to ignore common sense and generously decides to sell the ability to even play the game for $20.00 USD. What's that, you actually want cards, not the bum ones you RNGed when you bought the game? You'll have to empty your wallet some more, because the only way to acquire new cards is through real cash! Valve needed to pick one system or the other.

    Even with this disaster in the making, our once-golden child still had a chance. . . the beta testers! But alas, instead they recruited an army of Yes-Men and boot-lickers, endlessly singing Lord Gaben's praises: "Oh yes, the game is perfect! No changes needed." "Best card game ever, Hearthstone is done for!" Any real criticism was brushed aside and ignored, leaving us with this wallet-sucking monstrosity- simply too horrible to even look at.    … Expand

    - Too much RNG
    - Constructed is pay to win.
    - Broken promises like rarity != power.
    - Lack of meaningful progression system.
    - Matches take too long.
    - Badly implemented rank / ladder system.
    - Chat system doesn't work.
    - Boring art / cards.

    Greed machine designed to siphon money from people via a virtual market with artificially created scarcity of virtual items.

    The games design seems solid at the core, but is sprinkled with some really badly designed RNG cards. No way to get cards besides paying real money, good cards can cost over 20 dollars a piece.

    Stay away.

    Innovative mechanics designed by Richard Garfield (Magic: The Gathering), rules that you can grasp after just a couple of minutes, clear interface – Artifact is a great game. It’s a shame that it’s huge esports potential can be squandered, because Valve doesn’t seem to care for it enough to implement progression systems, leagues, rankings or means to comfortably communicate with rivals outside an invitation-only friendly tournament.

    In theory, a brilliant card game for a demanding audience. In reality, a concept heavily damaged by bad balancing and a truly terrible monetization system. It may yet prove to be a success in the future - but right now, this is a game for wealthy masochists only.
