SteamOS/Linux Requirements For Valve's Artifact Is Just A Vulkan Intel/AMD/NVIDIA GPU

A trading card game? I wonder why the requirements aren't an i686 CPU (could be i486, but they got their libraries), 24MB RAM and a choice of raw 2D or OpenGL 1.1.
Let's say Pentium Pro 150 for the CPU.

They gotta have fancy animations for everything.

Because it's not an average solitaire game. This is probably easier to sell than Aisleriot for example (though I bet I'll be playing Gnome Aisleriot much more than this).

Half-Life 3?

I don't know why Valve would release a trading card game now, especially one that costs $20 when there are multiple well established free to play alternatives.

Haswell has a decent gpu, well at least the Iris Pro is decent.

The Iris Pro GPU's have double the number of graphics cores and have 128MB of eDRAM, compared to the regular HD4600 graphics.
