So, what are those deep-rooted issues?

While I think there might be obvious things to change,
the reason behind its failure *can* be something like a mixture of bad luck and
many (yeah, not all) people being disappointed about Valve releasing a card game (and nothing else).

So. What to change? Make it F2P and p*ss off people that paid quite a lot for the base game?
Even the low number of players seems like a good argument to change that light heartedly.
Sure, currently there aren't many *playing* Artifact but there a quite a lot that *paid* for the game and are still potential players in the future.

Then, isn't there currently the limitation that you basically can't get booster packs for free?
If they'll change this, people that invested a lot so far might not be very happy about it.
Same goes for the market. You don't simply change things there.

Wouldn't it be an idea if you can order real printed cards that you own for a small fee?
(Only once per card)

Looks like it will be a tough challenge to bring this back on track.

Haha, yes. ;)

Is it possible to turn off the grid?

One of the lower-res sampling without it could be just my cup of tea. :D

Quoting: GuestLooks ugly, totally misses the point of pixel art.

Fully agree. That post-processing pixel grid is awful.

Ofc, it's a matter of taste.
Maybe they'll optionally offer other aesthetics too. :)

Is it just me? This looks very "Breath of the Wild".

What. Is. This?

Besides, those games imho *look* extremely crappy.
Maybe I'm not so much into Anime. :D

Very interesting!

Could've been a game by Lucas Pope ("Papers, Please", "Return of the Obra Dinn") at first sight.

There must be some technical reason behind it, I guess.

Otherwise, NVidia would have surely just outbid AMD to get finally
back into the console-a-like AAA business again.

That's easy I think. Google want to be free to use the graphics stack commercially. I'm not sure Nvidia blob allows that without licensing from Nvidia. Though they probably partnered with AMD anyway in some form to benefit both sides (like getting driver support and so on). But at least they are paying for support which is a normal method for FOSS, not for the right to use.

That's probably it.

Didn't many people say NVidia will provide some open-source driver (not necessarily opening the current blob) when there is strong demand by the industry - not Joe user like you and me, ofc?

So are we there yet? :)

Edit: Also, maybe AMD is currently just faster when it comes to customization due to their long-term console design wins.

No.

But not really surprising if this SteamSpy guy is now in charge at Epic.

Thats okay because they cancelled the phonix point native port

EPIC store does not support Linux.
Maybe that was part of the reason to cancel it.

Who knows...
