@naval Clubhouse makes it easy to create audio content with less work than a podcast and because it is/feels spontaneous its appreciated differently and more. Closest recent similarity would be Twitch compared to live television. Twitch makes everyone feel like they can be a streamer.

There are so many takes on Artifact, few have any real meat. Can we talk about the failure from the marketing side? First impressions are important. I can't believe Valve let a third party organizer run the first event for their game (besides PAX). They should have executed it.

The best PR for Artifact beta so far has been the influx of open beta players increasing the players who were in closed betas’ winrate. Twitter is night and day from yesterday to today. Seems to be winning might help you have a more positive outlook on a game.
