Dota 2
Last Nox , mega developer / newspaper publisher Valve announced a brand new telecasting game no one saw coming , titledArtifact , a digital trading poster game . And the reaction was n’t on the button positive .
Where long - time Valve fan are eagerly awaiting any tidings touch to development of a newPortal , give 4 Dead , Team Fortress , Half - Life , or something entirely original , rather the next Valve projection is or else jump on the TCG bandwagon and into a crowded market made mega popular by Blizzard’sHearthstone . But it ’s something everyone ’s seek to get in on ( see : The Witcher 3spinoff , GwentorThe sr. Scrolls : legend ) .
No details are know aboutArtifactyet outside of its genre and that it ’ll be based on theDota 2universe .
LOL THE DISAPPOINTMENT#TI7pic.twitter.com / WVXP30jxyT — nick@TI7 ( @nickisnixed)August 9 , 2017
Monday kick off this year’sThe Internationaltournament - the annualDota 2Champtionships which represents one of the bountiful eSports event in the world , running from August 7 - 12 , 2017 , at KeyArena in Seattle . And last nighttime in the center of it , player were wait the usual variety of news about young quality or update coming toDota 2and instead , a new plot with mixed to negative response . At the clock time of this writing the official poke has 17 thousand disfavor versus 2.5 thousand likes and we have n’t seen that variety of ' dislike ' campaignsince the unveiling oflast year’sCall of Duty : Infinite Warfare .
Valve is very calculate on their games and platform though so this in all likelihood means small in the long test . Just take care how massiveDota 2andCounter - Strike : Global Offensiveare as top play game on Valve ’s own Steam service .
And of course , one thing few people are talking about yet , but with Steam comes the Steam market . And that intend trading and trade stock . You sleep with , things likedigitaltrading card game . One affair these other top digital identity card games do n’t do is allow trading and that , in plus to the firebrand power ofDota 2and the Valve platform pushing this game to every user in the human beings , meansArtifactis a surefire achiever . ExpectArtifactto take advantage of Steam ’s moneymaking inventorying market place , adding a cardinal new dynamic to the game that onlyMagic : The Gatheringhas .
As for Valve ’s other game properties which have so much requirement and sexual love but no supply , who knows . We thought Valve ’s attempt at Steam Machines and their partnership with HTC for the VIVE virtual reality headset would coincide with some much - desired three - quels , but nothing yet on the aforesaid game series Valve is n’t babble out about these days .
