Honestly it's no different a model really. The physical cards you own are pieces of card board you paid (in some cases) 100's or even 1000's of dollars for, that in reality cost pennies to manufacture.
Chink knocks offs are functionally the same and cost a fraction, and even then they are still generally more than they ought to be for what they physically are.
If you're going to burn money on a card game, Artifact seems like a shit choice. The multiple boards is a straight up annoying gimmick with little real gameplay shakeups versus other card games. Also the cards themselves in most cases are boring and uninspired raw stats.

I honestly don't know but I suspect they do in the same way Tf2 does. People make stuff, but outside of certain scenarios nobody can really use it and most the people making stuff is doing it to eventually have it added to the game via the workshop. Possibly to get some shekels too.

Steam and Microtransactions have the potential to not be shit, but Valve are too incompetent to use it correctly.
Shit when the Mann Co Store came out, aside from Unusuals, it was essentially just a way for them to throw some fiscal incentive to mod creators to make some new weapons and shit so Valve wouldn't have to without hoping for a modding jam and permission from the website and modders to throw shit in the game.
Which they then proceeded to fuck up by walling off all of their servers with sv_pure and workshop meaning mods never get spread into the community to use. Even a lot of the Skin mods fucking died since Valve pushed the TFteam into monetizing retextures. So there isn't really a space for that.
And steam they continually fuck up trying to grab money, like "Hey guys, we'll host whatever mod you want check out the steam workshop! By the way? If you don't own the game on steam you can't download anything*"
*Mods can be downloaded with SteamCMD

I have never gotten into card games, whether they were physical or digital, but wouldn't this business model be preferred over most the digital card games out there? I have at least tried Hearthstone, and that you cannot trade in as far as I know, so the cards are completely locked behind first party paywalls. At least with Artifact, you can trade and sell them, can't you? I would at least assume Valve is gonna integrate basic Steam features into the game, but I suppose anything is possible in current year+3.

I'm fine with them in concept because the fact that it is virtual allows for more creative card design. Simplest example is cards that generate random cards. That would be quite difficult to replicate had the game been physical. That being said, for a competitive card game I don't think that sort of randomness is good.

Why lie so blatantly? I mean thats what he implies the prices might drop down to in the future. If they're around $0.40 - $2.0 right now then its an even more bold lie.
All this fucking tl;dr to downplay the fact that he had to pay even more than the initial price to have a functioning deck, what a fucking subhuman.

His entire point is irrelevant anyways. Most people are just getting access to the game, it's only a small number of people that have had access to the game for a while that know whats good. Once people figure it out, demand will drive up prices on the good cards.
It's the opposite of what this guy says: more people=more demand=price gouging.

Who the fuck asked for a Dota cardgame?
Think about, who the fuck would ask valve, that is mainly known for FPS trash, to do a card game? Better yet, who decided that an assfaggots cardgame was a necessary thing, when the original game is already fucked to death, and was ruined with every update?
>b-but muh icefrog
It's a valve game, it is published as such and this TCG crap was promoted as such. There's no reason for this to exist, just like there is no reason for an Assassin's Creed TCG to exist. It's meant for a market that doesn't exist, or if it does is very niche to go for.

In typical Valve fashion, they wanted to catch on to the "TCG" trend which was going on a year or two before they accounced Artifact even though by the time it actually got revealed, TCGs were already going down the proverbial toilet. Who still plays TCG? Seriously? And is there a single Pay2Play TCG out there besides Artifact?
This AVGN clip has never been more appropriate. We could go on for years wondering why the fuck Valve hasn't caught on to the majority opinion and released an actual fucking game (namely Half Life 3) already. They know there's a market for it. They know that people will be hyping it up FOR them, thus there'd be no need to pay for advertisement or even PR for that matter (not like they do much PR at all anyways, Valve is fucking useless tbh) so why the fuck aren't they committing?
If you want my personal opinion, I think it's because Valve ran out of competent developers long ago, and now they're stuck with dumb california monkeys who don't know their asses from their elbows and thus can't produce anything on the level of the portal gun or even the grav gun ever again. Fucking sad.
Remember when TF2 used to have almost bi-monthly major updates?

It's not just the lack of competent devs that's killing Valve as a game studio, it's their freeform "work on whatever" philosophy that enables devs to just jump ship to whatever project they want to work on. So if they get bored of something or it's proving too hard, hey, why not fuck off and work on something easier? And honestly, what could be easier than a fucking TCG? Come up with some basic rules, shit out some cards, and design some assets that would be amateurish if applied to any other context. Boom, game shipped, back to slacking off for another five years.
I feel the other big reason Valve is dead as a studio is because they honestly just don't care about making video games anymore. Why would they bother? They own the largest PC gaming marketplace out there by a substantial margin, to the point where if your game's not on Steam, it might as well not exist. Every game sold means fees to Valve, which means Gaben's wallet gets fatter (just like him) and Valve gets lazier.
I honestly believe the only thing that will make Valve release a video game again (and no, this abortion of a card game doesn't count) is Steam being seriously challenged or even dethroned by another platform. I don't have high hopes, but anything's possible.

Now that you talk about it, it would make sense if they announced HL3 as a last resort product, aka the company is in the line of bankruptcy and they need something to make their stocks worth something.
The problem is that it would have the Battlecuck vagina syndrome, where all the skilled developers have left and what remains is incompetent leftists braindeads, that couldn't develop a game to save their asses, which would lead to even a bigger stock loss.
They have it too gloated with (((Steam))) being the monopoly in the computer market, if shit happens eventually and they stop being the dominating hand, they sure would try to attempt games. But since alternatives to steam besides GoG are even worse, I think their loss of monopoly is going to take a while

Seriously? I picked it up in three or so matches. The game's deceptively simple once you realize it plays more like a board game then every MTG derivative.
Here's my bullet list for shit so far.
>You can only play spells in a lane so long as a hero of that color is in the lane so you have to take that into account with placement and strategy, also since their are spells that can affect other lane what you place in the leftmost is of dire importance.
>Initiative controls who gets to play spells first in each lane and is important for killing heroes and clucking your opponent out of playing spells with their associated color.
>Alternate win-cons(blow up someone's hard to kill ancient with fire power rather then trying to kill two lanes) are nice and especially so because you have to balance it against board-wipes so you have to be careful to not over-commit.
>Market is kind of fun because you leaning on it different depending on what kind of deck your playing. Slower decks want to stop more aggressive decks from killing your heroes for more gold and momentum.
>Who has the advantage switches often which causes tactics to change. I would abandon one lane to focus on two others only to bounce back to it once my opponent over committed in another lane I jammed up.
>Most heroes have very relevant passives that give creeps buffs, control where creeps spawn, cause damage on certain triggers, or allows them to relocate.
<I haven't played long enough, but I think the starter set is going to go stale fast. Although there are good aggro, control, and tempo decks I don't see any combo decks or anything that qualifies as truly "interesting".
<Games are longer by design and I've seen lots of players stall or forgot they had priority.
<It crashed once but I was able to re-connect.
<Axe is the most expensive card right now at 20$ with the closest being Kanna at $7.5 with most other cards being pennies. It's nice to be able to get the cards I need to be competitive fast and easy but…
<There's not much reward from the game. The only real reason I'm playing it right now is because I'm interested. Would of been nice to have some custom cosmetics stuff for achieving certain milestones that you couldn't buy.
I'd wait for an expansion that adds a little more depth to the game.

Currently the top stuff in the market and explanations as to why:
>Axe is an aggro house and aggro does well, he also gives you one of the best spells in the game.
>Drow buffs everything everywhere
>Kanna gives access to one of the best spells in the game.
>Annihilation is a board wipe
>Horn of alpha is the best market card.
>Tinker has high attack and his ability targets specific units as well as blowing up equipment
>Lich is a house who can kill your own stuff to draw cards.
>At any coast is almost a board wipe.
>Conflagration kills most creep decks(What Kanna and Drow are enabling currently)
>Emissary of Quorum wins late game for after mentioned creep decks.
>Unearthed secrets draws you cards.
>Blink knife can move heroes to different lanes

>Spring the trap puts two houses in any lane
>Mercenary Exiles is a gold sink after an aggro deck has bought everything off the market
>Omnikinght is the very definition of a house that heals.
So really nothing I consider Interesting from a game play perspective. It seems like they're actually playing it a little safe with this first set because the game "looks complex".

The price fluctuates, but it costs about 270usd to get all the cards.
And if Valve's history of every-escalating prices&flashiness of cosmetics is any to go by, power creep is guaranteed. Especially since the game is whale-only, there's no reason for Valve to try and make a good game since they're profiteering off of retards.

Dota only recently turned bad. Most of the good things are leftovers from blizzard, but when it came out it was still a dark, brutal game. Just look at the ways you can die in Dota… turning your skin inside out, how fucking painful is that. And imagine how painful it is to survive that shit. Open wounds all over your fucking body. Or having spidereggs injected into you who then eat you within. Or killing you, stealing your soul and forcing it to fight your friends. Or dying to your nightmares, Fiends Grip rips you apart by your worst fears. Or getting covered in napalm and then slowly burning to death.
Dota still had a very dark and cruel lore, but it chanced. Someone in the lifetime of dota either left or got fired and whoever replaced that person sucks dick. Every new dota hero is basically fortnight like family friendly. And I haven't looked into artifact yet but I bet it will feature the same kind of bullshit.

Every game is different because everyone has their own way of playing. Dota alone has over 110 heroes, which allows for plenty of variety in 5vs5 matches. And every hero can be played in multiple ways.
Then there are rts games like Kane's Wrath or PA:Titans which also feature dozens of different strategies. You ever watched people play those? They have to multitask so hard it's unreal. But hey, the actual skill lies in singleplayer games like Nioh, right?

I don't even play dota, stopped a long time ago. You people just assume that I play it simple because I defended the grim theme dota 1 had. I didn't even say that dota 2 was good, I said that it turned gay like every other modern game.
Also I admit that dota is a hard game and that I am not good enough to play it at tournament levels.

In a typical mobile CCG you don't have to pay an entry fee and even if they are a bit stingy they at least give you some way of "earning" free cards through playing the game.
Valve is on an entirely different level, anon.
fdf99c No.15796963
>>15796944
Dubs point the truth.
I'll use Shadowverse as an example. It's also a mobile CCG, which also happened to have a PC port. They practically shower you in card packs by playing through the campaign (glorified tutorial), by battling against AI at maximum difficulty, and also login bonuses which grant you a minimum of 1 card pack per week, in additional to all the ingame currency which you can use to purchase card packs. You also get ingame currency for playing vs other players, achievements, and some sort of weekly quests.
A pretty forgiving game to play entirely F2P if you want to.
Artifact on the other hand, has none of these. Congrats, Valve, you managed to be even more jewish than mobile trash.

I'll respond with an argument when I'm presented with one. Saying "you said it's easy" when in reality, I did not and instead addressed numerous other factors like how matchmaking is fixed - is not an argument.

Your match making argument is retarded. What are you actually complaining about? That you are always playing vs weak player?

What the fuck are you talking about? Match-making is suppose to put vs your equals. How is this fixed? If are a better player then you should be winning thus advancing in rank until you meet your equal which if you want to pass you have to improve as a player. This is complete bullshit you are crying about.

The real cards model is a hundred times more consumer friendly than any """"free""""" to play ccg. Artifact's real issue is that its cards are boring as fuck. Dicky G needs to get rid of his aura fetish and understand that numbers are the least interesting part of any card game. No matter how much skill it takes to do, adding and subtracting numbers is just dull.

It's not moving the goalposts; your initial claim (that there were regular dota threads) is a symptom of your newfaggotry, because if you had actually been here, you'd know that they were very occasional at best; the only regularity was The International.

Im HS limited matchmaking for arena (the limited game mode) is based off of your win/loss record. How the fuck else would you determine "skill" anyway, other than by how much you win?
