As far as how they monetize , it's the same as every single card game out there ( sell packs, sell arena tickets, sell hero,... ). The thing that make Artifact unique is that the ability to sell every individual card that you get for a steam wallet ( real money in a way).
I mean in 99.99% of digital card game ( Hearthstone, shadowwverse, gwent,...) . You can have 10 duplicate of super rare legendary card ( say "black lotus") , there isn't much you can do about it beside disenchant and get some dust, shard,... However on Artifact at least you can sell 9 of them for some steam wallet money. Isn't that what Artifact all about or what it market different compare to all others digital card games?
