Valve’s Controversial Artifact Takes a Step Back

Weekly News Roundup Issue #48 - Artifact

Valve’s card game title Artifact was spoken highly of prior to its release. However, months after the fact, the game suffered from seriously bad press.

In doing this, they are set to postpone originally impending updates and “re-evaluate” the title. Take a look at our coverage for what exactly all of this means
