yellow jew or american jew i just want to despise both. let me enjoy the disaster that is valve and ill go shitpost about uncle mao in another thread.

>Anti china mentality has to be associated with epic shilling

Ah shit nigga, valves latest shitty card game is a failure, Valve and Steam are finished forever and will go bankrupt!!!

Are they too proud to make it f2p? The main reason the game failed is because you needed to buy the game and the cards on top of it. Not even having a way to grind for cards is fucking retarded.

The main reason it failed is because it's a shit game

That didn't stop Hearthstone from being popular

>The absolute STATE of Valve
IKR, porting collectible card game moneygrubbing over to a digital format absolutely stinks
>Steam
shoo shoo Epic jew

This will never not be satisfying as hell to see.

>charge people to play the game
>charge people to buy all the cards
>no rewards system
I wonder why no one wants to play it.

>people want half life 3
>continue to not make half life 3
>don't even bother to make something simpler like another left 4 dead
I'm not sure what they were expecting.

Isn't there a more complete gif?

The goal of the game was to build a new magic the gathering but in the virtual world. You also need to buy cards to play magic with your friends and you don't get awarded either

Hearthstone is a mediocre game.
But Artifact is downright terrible. The design is deeply flawed.

And yet the core gameplay, which is supposed to hold you, is terrible.
Pricification is only a secondary aspect.

>I'm not sure what they were expecting.
Mad hearthstone money. Too bad they pulled a blizzard and were late to the party with their cardgame just like blizzard was late with their moba.

They wanted to make money with the steam market. Thats why they purposely made a few cards broken as fuck (and all of those the highest rarity)
There was even an instance of instead of nerfing a broken card, they just increased her rarity durkng beta to inflate its price.
