Check out this Artifact documentary, it is amazingly done!
It is not just about the game but the community. The @secretshopgg podcast crew was interviewed for it, @kiwi_streaming, @AngermaniaP and myself! Many other community members and creators give their insights as well!
With the backing of Valve, promises of multi-million dollar esports tournaments, and roots in the Dota universe, Artifact had the tools for success.
So how did it all go wrong? This is the story of Artifact, the tragedy of Valve's Dota card game: youtu.be/_otsKOFG0hg #gaming

it was a Roman Salute!
ALT 4 panel comic in response to Elon Musk doing a Nazi Salute Panel 1 Orange Guy and Purple Guy watch Musk do a Nazi Salute on a big screen Purple Guy: It’s a Roman Salute Panel 2 Orange Guy and Purple Guy look up at giant banner featuring a picture of Musk with a tiny moustache Purple Guy: It’s a Chaplin ‘Tache Panel 3 Orange Guy and Purple Guy stand in front of a row of soldiers who are all Sieg Heiling Purple Guy: It’s a Freedom Force Panel 4 Orange Guy and Purple Guy stand in front of a row of prisoners walking into a sleek silver tunnel Purple Guy: It’s a cyber camp
As a German, I can say this is NOT a "Roman" salute or whatever cope people are posting. This was not unfortunate arm-placement, he did it TWICE (videos cut too soon). And no amount of stupidity excuses this because Nazism is an expression of stupidity. #NaziSalute #Hitlergruß

CONGRATS @DOTA2 on being this year's top game!
The Crownfall event has been one of the Dota 2's greatest events of all time and they've definitely earned their stars!

Half-Life 2 turns 20 this weekend, and we're celebrating with a big update: New developer commentary by the original team, Steam Workshop support integrated into the game, Episodes One and Two are bundled into the main menu, and tons more: half-life.com/en/halflife2/2…
Just saw #JokerFolieADeux
I enjoyed myself.
I foresee a lot of bad-faith discussion about this film and its intention.
If you are interested, do yourself a favor and watch it before the Internet tells you how to feel.
Surprised Deadlock got declassified. There were lots of leaks but this is an actual alpha. Far from release with tons of temporary art; some heroes still belong to a different setting, the jungle is the same mob copy&pasted and the map is ever-changing. And yet...it's super fun!

Rest in Peace Sam. Thank you for being the voice of some incredible memory making moments for MILLIONS of people across the world.
Whenever a Dota player asks themselves - "What does a hero truly need?" .. it will forever be in your voice.
Thank You. THANK YOU.
MASSIVE Deadlock leaks are happening again. Not just screenshots of heroes but VIDEOS from BOTH Deadlock and it's previous sci-fi version Neon Prime! Apparently there are like 1K people in the test. Without an NDA, Valve surely expected SOME leaks to occur but this is a lot!
I am so happy to see some of the faces from Artifact in Dota's client. I am especially excited to see Rix's story continue in a way. Long ago, I was hoping to have them come over as heroes but at this point, I would be happy with a Sorla Khan Persona for Legion Commander.
Oh my God there is a LOT of @PlayArtifact stuff in this Update. It makes me want an expansion so bad. At least some characters and the MUSIC make a return in Dota. Some acknowledgement of the QUALITY of that game.
Last year, Dota 2 basically became Dota 3 with the New Frontiers Update. Today, it has become Dota 4.
I have never played a game that changes so drastically between patches. This is genuinely like going from Street Fighter 5 to SF6, except they kept all characters since SF4....

Wow, so many Deadlock leaks happening. Are we close to a public alpha/beta of some kind? I hope so, that stuff looks like fun!

Enjoying watching everyone hating on 4 badly compressed screenshots of a closed alpha game, while 100% certain they'll be stepping on each other's throats to play it
#DEADLOCK is a great name for a game with lanes of NPCs clashing to a standstill. Too bad it leaked with such early WIP art. The GTA leak already showed some don't understand how game assets evolve. Lotta angry people. Lots of IP tribalism as well. Hoping for official words soon!
