Valve's Greatest Failure

by devaccess



At this point, calling Artifact a dead game would be disrespectful to dead games.

Defense of the Ancients, Counter-Strike 1.6 and StarCraft: Brood War are “dead” games, and there are still thousands of people around the world who play them every day.

Artifact is beyond dead.

But what happened?

I agree, it was sad watching streamers who I'd followed for a while who were are talented and had been successful in other games go all in only to see them slowly realise what a terrible mistake they'd made. Thankfully most of them have been able to re-establish themselves now in other games but it looked really bad for them for a while.

Comparing with other TCG like yugioh and magic, Artifact isn't that bad.Although it have some fixable problem random system, which they did not fix it. The main problem is the player finished the game. For TCG, the most fun/ part make you keep playing is making new deck. Look at other TCG, they have new card pack with over 50 new cards every month. A card game should keep making new card otherwise player build all the best deck they can think of in the patch, than the game is over. I have play over 50 matchs with friends and get boring because of no new things come out.

It's a really good thing that artifacts failed as we wouldn't have underlords if it hadn't. Now valve has an opportunity to NOT make the same mistakes.

I don't get MOBA's. I try my hardest to see what the fuss is about. Like say LOL, DOTA2, Teamfightactics, DOTA underworld, autochess, whatever. I can't see what is fun about them at all. Only MOBA to grab my attention was Dead Island Epidemic, since it included some twitched based gaming with WASD control, dodge, and firing. But that dev just never finishes a product and milks the cow, then ends the game within weeks notice.

Valve didn't make CounterStrike. Gamers did by modding Halflife.

I firmly believe that the economy is what killed this game. Which is surprising coming from Valve, who absolutely nailed the f2p microtransaction model with DotA 2.

So it was their greatest failure, but it wasn't supposed to be? How often do companies sit down and decide they're going to make a game with the intention of it being an utter disaster? Do they get disappointed if their disaster of a game actually sells?

Artifact is actually a very good game per see. The game economy is the problem. It sucks ass, really. everything is with the real money tradable. Who does that? no one, It's probably the only aspect Garfield has brung to digital card games ?

valve's real failure is having the original and far superior moba and failing to enter the korean market. the only reason lol has such a presence is because they monopolised korea. valve's marketing team fucked up their chance to dominate the moba genre

As strange as it sounds, I think Artifact would of been a success if it wasn't developed by Valve. maybe not though, Bethesda released a card game and it wasn't a success in my eyes (elder scrolls legends.) it currently has 1,237 players right now which is obviously more than Artifact but I think Bethesda expected more people. Hearthstone killed the card game genre… says the person who doesn't play card games. maybe the people who made Slay the spire can succeed in making some online card game.
