AnonCat Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Kind of cool factoid on arsTechnica. Warframe is the 18th most played and owned game on Steam in it's brief history. Above this are legendary and old titles like the Half-Life series, Portal, DOTA, Elder Scrolls, and so on. Considering that Warframe is in Beta and a newcomer, this is quite impressive. Edit: Oh yeah, here's a link to the article discussing Steam metrics. Remember this is how Warframe compares to other games since the launch of Steam. For example, WF doesn't have a lot total hours played because it literally has not existed long enough to compare to titles that have been around for many many years. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/04/introducing-steam-gauge-ars-reveals-steams-most-popular-games/2/ Edited April 16, 2014 by -CM-AnonCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoRDxDeMoN Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 How does 'own' work in the free-to-play context? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detvix Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 How does 'own' work in the free-to-play context? Steam registers played games as 'owned' even if they're free-to-play. No big deal. It's been really nice to see how far Warframe has come and how much it's progressed over time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessoR Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Year is kind of long too. BTW it Is in top 10 played games on steam. But DOTA (which is number one) got 30 times more daily players. 600k vs 20k Search steam stats for more detailed information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to the marketing juggernaut of Valve behind it. lol, no comparison. Edited April 16, 2014 by -CM-AnonCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostosti Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 How does 'own' work in the free-to-play context? I think owned means installed, I had another f2p game on steam and as soon as i uninstalled it, it was also removed from my libary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonCat Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 BTW it Is in top 10 played games on steam. That metric is only for recent time periods. The point of this thread is to show how Warframe measures up to titles over the entire lifespan of Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyunsai Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Well, it doesn't appear on any the "most played by hours" chart. What would be the explanation ? EDIT : Ok, entire lifespan of steam. Makes sense. Edited April 16, 2014 by Hyunsai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darksinger Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 "On Steam" When i'm playing without it. Interesting, how many people doing the same out there? And how are people supposed to get numbers on that, remember Steam has the advantage of actually registering the data so they can be used for statistics and showing up on your account.

AnonCat Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Well, it doesn't appear on any the "most played by hours" chart. What would be the explanation ? Because the game has literally not existed long enough for players to wrack up the hours to compare to older titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowsodium Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) So 3.4 mill people have played it, then that's the only list it's on. Goes to show that this game has an amazing premise that draws people in... but then they stop playing shortly after they realize they need to BUY inventory slots, only have 4 revives, need mods that simply are not available in the early game, how leveling it pointless and does basically nothing unless you have those mods, how your frames and weapons are gimped unless you chance into or buy a potato. Fair enough, the game hasn't been out since 2009. But it could still compete in the median/mean hours per 50K players. Where other post 2009 games are listed. But it doesn't. This game has the Monster Hunter problem where the first 30 hours or so is an arduous chore. Resulting in many people leaving before it gets to the endgame. Except, MH actually gets fun and challenging after those first 30 hours. WF stays the exact same. As for WF being in beta. Think this game is going to explode after it's released? I don't. Considering at this point there is no difference between a game in soft release beta like WF is, your every day content patch, and the actual release.
