Valve’s Artifact player count has dropped 97 percent, which isn’t great

Valve’s card battle game, Artifact, isn’t looking too hot since launching
in November last year. And now it seems that the game has hit a new low after
figures suggest that the ARTIFACT PLAYER COUNT has dropped a whopping 97
percent since its release.

Artifact has been in something of a precarious state since it released back
in late November and we previously reported that the Valve’s title didn’t
manage to break into the Steam Top 100 most-played games of the year. And
that trend has only worsened in 2019, with SteamCharts reporting that in the
early hours of January 15, the game’s player count was at its lowest ever,
with only 1,639 players active. At its peak, Artifact players numbered 60,740.

It comes after Artifact saw a short-lived bump in players after an update to
the game, which lasted around a week before a decline began once again. The
update allowed players to level up their accounts and gain rewards in the
process. Though this did little for the larger issues that players have with
the game. The main one being that, despite being a game that you pay for
upfront, everything in the game seems geared towards a pay-to-win throughline
in the game, with some players, such as this Steam review upvoted by
thousands, suggesting that it’s near-impossible to get anywhere in the game
without handing over extra cash.

Valve is yet to comment on the future of Artifact, though the Artifact player
count is bound to cause some concern within the company.  Despite the
lackluster reception Artifact has received, it seems doubtful that Valve will
simply pull the game and let it be forgotten. In fact, the opposite appears
to be taking place. Half-Life 2 and Portal writer Erik Wolpaw has recently
returned to Valve and has worked on Artifact. Valve won’t be letting its
card game go quietly into that good night, that’s for sure.

SteamCharts的資料指出在2019年1月15號時，Artifact的活躍玩家只剩1,639名。

在其最巔峰時有60,740名。己經流失了97%玩家。

總而言之，情況很慘！
