Its been interesting to see how lukewarm artifacts release has been. The hearthstone killer seems to be less of a threat than MTG arena.

A lot of my coworkers are playing it actually; I was surprised at the contrast to the internet's reaction. Their impressions are positive enough that I might give it a try.

But my coworkers are generally in their late 20s or their 30s, game developers with good salaries, and many of the ones into artifact are game designers who are fascinated by the 3 board system of Artifact.

r/hearthstone was pretty quick to dismiss it, on the other hand. (After months and months of topics on that sub predicting hearthstone's impending doom at the hands of Artifact). But r/hearthstone is the kind of people who express opinions like "hearthstone is too expensive" (which means they take a glance at artifact's pricing model and run away screaming).

It looks to me like Artifact will find a niche, but yeah, it's very much not a direct competitor, not going after Hearthstone's player base.
