Magic: The Gathering's Richard Garfield On Artifact's Emotional, Stressful Launch
On the latest episode of The Game Informer Show, Magic: The Gathering creator Richard Garfield and Ken Jennings explain how and why they joined forces to create a trivia game called Half Truth. Jennings had to leave the conversation early, but we then spoke with Garfield about his work in the video game industry on projects like Artifact at Valve. We really enjoyed playing the game, but obviously the project didn't take off the way that Valve was hoping. Watch the interview above to hear what happened on the inside of Valve from Garfield himself. You can watch the interview above or subscribe to the audio version and listen to the full episode there.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
