#artifact card game

In a closed-door meeting with the game press yesterday, Valve President Gabe Newell revealed the first few details about their upcoming Dota-inspired card game, Artifact. First off, Artifact will feature its own marketplace, much like the one that Dota 2 has, where users can buy and sell in-game goods. So far, Artifact stays true to its name as a MOBA-inspired card game. Valve has announced that Steam users in the United Kingdom will now need to link a credit card to their account if they want to access games or pages marked with “mature content.” This move is part of Valve’s compliance with the UK’s Online Safety Act, which enforces stricter age verification for online platforms. This new rule means that without a credit card, UK Steam users cannot even view community hubs or discussions about mature-rated games. If stricter rules like this are implemented in the Philippines in the future, many local players may find themselves locked out of certain games since not everyone has access to a credit card.
