Valve has decided to cease development on its Dota 2-based card game Artifact and its revamp, Artifact 2.0, citing issues with growing the player base necessary to justify the development. In a Steam blog post , Valve wrote that while it's proud of the work it managed to accomplish on Artifact's reboot, the studio wasn't satisfied with the size of the game's current player base. "It's now been about a year and a half since the current Artifact team began work on a reboot in earnest," Valve wrote. "While we're reasonably satisfied we accomplished most of our game-side goals, we haven't managed to get the active player numbers to a level that justifies further development at this time." Valve went on to say that instead of deactivating the servers, both games will remain as they are--they will just go to a free-to-play model. Valve noted that Artifact 2.0, now called Artifact Foundry as part of this free-to-play transition, remains "an unfinished product."

Call of Duty: Warzone killstreak bait trick is a special kind of evil
The trollest bait in Warzone from r/CODWarzone If you find a killstreak on the ground in Call of Duty: Warzone you usually rejoice the free goodies - but a recent Reddit video has made finding a floor UAV highly sus. A Reddit user posted a video of what they themselves describe as "the trollest bait in Warzone", and I have to agree with them. During a Fire Sale, the player and their teammates buy a bunch of UAVs, Cluster Strikes, and Precision Airstrikes. They then meticulously pick them up and swap them out, eventually moving all of them to within a hangar in the Boneyard area of the Call of Duty: Warzone Verdansk map. The results are about a dozen killstreaks lying in the perceived protection of a hangar, just waiting to be picked up by an unsuspecting player. With the bait set, the Redditor and his teammates climb up a ladder in the hangar and go prone, lying in wait not unlike an apex predator, if apex predators were trolls.
