This could actually be good news for Artifact. If people aren’t interested in playing, then the prices of rare cards on the market will be low. That means it will actually be affordable to get a full set of cards. Of course, there’s also another problem. If player base is low, less total packs have been opened,and even less crds are available in the market. Even rare cards will be too rare. There may not be enough copies in existence for all pro players to have them.This can make prices high even when the demand is low because supply is ridiculously low.
Also, new Hearthstone expansion came out.
You had me at SuperGiant. Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie!
BELOW is a game that has been delayed for five years. It was going to be published as a launch title for Xbox One, but it kept getting pushed back since the developer decided to publish it themselves rather than let Microsoft handle it.
It’s now out today. Get it on Steam.

Oh wow. Occasionally I think about if that game was cancelled.
It’s beautiful! The parts that need work are either obviously things that will get fixed or labelled as such. There are certain design decision that seemed super non-intuitive at first, but once I got used to them it made playing so much more liberating, all while keeping the weight and power-trip of riding a mech. I’m super interested in it, but will probably wait a bit before fully purchasing.
Flying controls are absolutely fucking pants though. I mean, it’s not like there’s any way Adam could contact me without it being in public, so yeah, I’ll leave it at “Enthusiastic, but will probably wait before I buy for more reasons than just price”
Uh, according to who? It was pretty damned good on release. The worst you could say about it is that the first expansion was a bit thin. Launch reviews were great, the community loved it, the game worked well in basically every aspect - it was basically as good of a launch as any AAA title could ask for.
It’s not impossible, but it’s also not a sure bet. Like, maybe a 30% shot - being optimistic - unless they make some big, big changes. Right now, it looks more like The Division turned out to be. If only there was some way you could get in touch for a more complete review.
(Edit - and to be clear, I liked The Division, but a Destiny killer it was not.)
Yeah, no. That’s complete horseshit. They’ve outright reduced the amount of microtransactions(For example, you can now trivially re-aquire anything you’ve picked up ever, including shaders, rather than having to grind for or buy re-rolls), killed the XP throttling in favor of an XP boost, basically doubled the amount of content, given away large amount of content that in D1 and in season one of d2 were locked behind paywalls, gave actual reasons to go back and replay prior content, introduced an entire new game mode that is almost universally loved. They’ve even made a point of changing how their passes work, to give more content away to existing players without buy-in.
And come on, man, you’ve seen enough gaming communities on the internet to realize that they’re almost always full of people who walk through the garden of Eden complaining about the lackluster phone reception. The only exception from that crowd I can think of was Jim Sterling - who instead did his usual hyperbole, and rode about a half a hair away from just outright lying, if only in some parts because he made a mistake, rather than intending to deceive.
And those that remain are…less good. For example, there’s a very loud minority of players who will say anything to drag D2(including almost reasonable sounding, but ultimately made up complaints), because they think that the Devs have gone “Full SJW” because they do things like removing a decal from an armor peice because it looked like the Alt-right Kekistan flag, or that they’re pissed about Hawthorne(who they think is an SJW character because she’s a woman with skin darker than a sheet of A4), or raving about made up rumors that cayde’s replacement is going to be “An SJW-pandering character.”

Don’t forget that Hawthorne is totes sjw because she was raised by a gay couple. /s e_e
I’m loving D2 but I only touch the community when I need a guide to one of the hidden unlocks.
