This is why Artifact has this business modelDiscussion(self.Artifact)

So why would Valve, a company that popularized free to play cosmetics and has used it to great success in their other top level esports, regress to a 30 year old business model that was designed for a physical TCG? As hard as it is for some of fanboys to hear it's because of Richard Garfield.

I know his game players manifesto has been linked here before but I also know many of you have questionable reading comprehension so I'll lay it out for you.

I believe it is time to send a message to game designers and publishers. As a game player I will not play or promote games that I believe are subsidizing free or inexpensive play with exploitation of addictive players. As a game designer I will no longer work with publishers that are trying to make my designs into skinnerware.

Here Garfield says he will not play games with skinnerware nor work with publishers that want to make his designs into skinnerware.

Ok but whats skinnerware according to Garfield?

  1. The payments are skewed to an extremely small portion of the player population. This is often hard to determine because the way the game is making its money isn’t always accessible. 2) The payment is open ended – there is essentially no limit to the amount of money that can be drawn from it.

and

Cosmetics: Cosmetic items are items that are not a part of the underlying game. These in some ways fall out of my regular metrics for identifying abuse. I think it is possible to have a game that has ‘fashion’ which is fairly open ended and not abusive. Usually I use my own sense of what the value of the game element is to guide what my understanding of the level of abuse – but cosmetics are different. Some game players are going to value the cosmetics more than others, while all game players share at least rudimentary idea of the value of something like a power up. For that reason you can have a pricey cosmetic system in a game which has a high value to some percentage of a game playing population and no value to another without necessarily being an abuse. Of course, the way cosmetic items are delivered can itself be a separate game which is exploitive of addictive behavior. A slot machine a player pays for which gives random cosmetics has more of a chance of being abusive than random prizes while playing or a simple store.

This is just describing dota and csgos business models. I personally don't care if a business model subsidizes it's free (or low paying) players by extracting tons of money from morons.

plz stop telling me it's not garfields fault, it 100% is.

Stop making money! :angrysteamed:
