Defunct Valve card game Artifact sort of comes back to life, again
Once upon a time there was a card game called Artifact, created by Steam, Half-Life, and Dota juggernaut Valve. This title never performed particularly well, being beset by issues on all sides running the gamut from its approach to monetization to players simply being baffled by its existence. Eventually, all work on the title ceased, it was set as free to play - and that's where the story ended. "Read the rest of the story..."

Here's a news story I didn't expect to be writing today, or to be honest - any day. Artifact appears to be back. Valve's forgotten card game was last updated in 2021 and despite being free to play like Hearthstone, its player numbers have sunk well below triple digits. That's all just changed with a huge player surge putting the game in a far healthier state, but it may not be entirely real. "Read the rest of the story..."

It's seems like it's impossible to have avoided hearing about them, and if you have then I envy you. NFTs are "an important part of the future of our industry" "according to EA". For Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, "blockchain is a "revolution" in gaming". Non-fungible tokens, a blockchain-backed means of owning digital assets like ugly drawings of monkeys, are being talked up as the next big thing in gaming, but there's one problem: no one's been able to tell me what the Hell for? For all the interest ... Artifact Foundry is now Generally Available
Although we made Artifact Classic and Artifact Foundry free alongside our announcements about those games last week and put them both on the same store page, the button to install or play Artifact Foundry didn't work (it incorrectly installed or launched Classic). This has been remedied and now anyone should be able to install either or both versions, and a final patch for Artifact Foundry has been released. Valve gives up on Artifact setting it free with Artifact Classic and Artifact Foundry
Valve's Dota themed card game Artifact has now well and truly failed, as they've now stopped the 2.0 redevelopment which is now named Artifact Foundry with the original as Artifact Classic and both now free to play.
