No the biggest issue wasn't the pricing structure.

Artifact was just not fun at all.

I've been playing a ton of MTG, HS, Gwent, MTGA, bought Artifact, played 5 hours, never touched the game again.

It's overengineered, unnecessary complex, too slow, too long, too random and at the end exhausting, frustrating and not that interesting.

Most people played one or two games of Artifact a day then moved too something else.

Exhausting is correct, I'd forgotten about that. A lot of games give you the "just one more" feeling, like you could have won, or could keep winning, if you just fired up another game right now and tried something just a little differently.

At the end of every game of Artifact, I felt like I needed to take a break and get some water. Talk about stream poison, if you have to psyche yourself up to get into every new game.
