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?
I'm so sorry for my English. English isn't my first language.
Good luck at epic Jason, wish you the best. (you got 360 days to return, minus the 5 day broadcasting time)
