Valve has clarified its statements about Artifact’s text chat and moderation, confirming to IGN that players will be able to turn off their opponent’s chat.
During PAX West, Valve revealed that Artifact would have global text chat, including with the random opponents you play against. The studio quickly came under fire when the development team’s Jeep Barnett and Richard Garfield didn’t speak to what sort of moderation that chat would have during an interview with GamesIndustry.biz.
But after I spoke with them at Valve’s Seattle office last week, it sounds like Artifact’s chat won’t be the Wild West initial reports have made it seem. Barnett told me his lack of hard details on moderation features stems from the fact that the Steam development team is making the chat system that Artifact will use, not the Artifact team directly.
