Hyperion5182 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Hey apparently something similar happened with steam where PW was given rights to basically run Dota 2 in china. Something similar might be happening. That is the ONLY involvement with PWE that would not be an entire abdication of DE's commitment to its players.

AbyssSlayer Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Also, guys, ironic side note: If we all stop buying plat, then DE might be FORCED to take the deal, because they can't afford not to. Think about this. So we lose either way? man! Edited July 2, 2014 by AbyssSlayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSpax Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 WOAH WAIT... i have a genious plan IF perfect world buys out DE, WE BUY OUT THEM(thats going to be like what, three fifty? Calculating the volume to the actual stock price, the complete volume is worth around 12 Million USD. If each player of Warframe would spend 5$, we would probably be able to buy the whole company. AND THEN FIRE EVERYONE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkstriker Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Everyone I know it seems hopeless butt I'd like too add my grain of sand. I'm sick of all these things about how it's ganna happen. Its seems like we really can't confirm anything until DE responds, or maybe I'm just being ignorant, however I'd like to at least be in the know so to all who see this ( We can't just hope and prey that it wont happen. We need to push and squeeze DE for details because we are The war frame community and we demand a voice for the game we care about) so please to all who care "do what you can do if you can do it". I don't want to see this game die and I'm sure you don't want that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artized Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 As far as I know, the developers of DE have no say in this matter. If this is true, then the shareholders have all the power and what they say, goes. The developers, undoubtedly, want to avoid this deal as much as we do-- but it's just not within their jurisdiction. I do, however, believe that they will definitely attempt to persuade the shareholders not to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaima Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Let's start a Kickstarter. Sound like it would be a plan. We could be like, "Hey we wanna buy DE!". Then we give it back to them for free to SAVE THE ERA OF WHICH THIS GAME MAKES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixty5 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) [size=6]BUISNESS TALK[/size] Hmm reading over the information I am not entirely sure we actually need to be all that worried. It seems to state that they intend to buy any outstanding shares, meaning that they will own a portion of the interests in the company. The precise percentage of ownership is not stated. At anything below a 10% means they really have no say in the direction the company is taking, and even if more than this was owned a majority vote is needed before any changes are made. Furthermore purchasing a stake in a company entitles you to make choices in the direction of the company, stuff like development of products is usually left to the people who know what they are doing. Really after looking at it from an accounting/economics standpoint has reduced the amount I am worrying about this news.

--Q--Ascended-Seraphim Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 If PW takes over, I'll have to say "good run DE, thanks for the 1000 hours of fun". No game has had me hooked for so long and made me happily spend so much money on. Don't slaughter the goose that lays the golden eggs. Off to league of legends or path of exile.

HurricaneBones Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 20 pages and still no reply? Silence can be taken as an answer DE. And it's an answer we don't want. you measure time with minutes and hours. It's been 2 hours only. I imagine DE staff was not even aware of this. Now they're asking to direction what to say, they're having a meeting. At the end they decide what statement they will make. So it's gonna take a little bit more than 2 hours.

The only thing they can do is put their careers on the line and walk off the project if this goes forward. Flat walk...I hope the devs do this if this turns out to be true. Things suck right now...but being a dev of this game under those conditions..i think i'd rather eat a bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt_Atroxium Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 It seems the 3rd party share holders want in on whatever DE is making of warframe as of today. What I have to say, Did they contribute like the founders? The players? The ones who spend a few dollars, a few houndred, a few thousand! Those were the ones who build this future. ( Dont forget the terrabytes of hours put into the game. Remember, time is money. Money is time in their view. "Perfect World my &#!)) Did they contribute? Or did they sit back and wait for the success of warframe and said, "hey, we are partners right? We want everything you have done, we take over now. You go home with little money in you'r pockets and done deal. Its like a guy does all the work, and the dipS#&$ comes and take the credit for it. Did they have any helping hand with the development of warframe? Those are the questions in moral whom witch determines if they really have anything to do with this game.

204WZL Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I have already advised my clanmates and alliance members(around 3000 players) to stop buying platinum until DE's official response about this. We are very familiar with PW's capability of turning awesome games into mindless money sinks. So it is better to stop paying for a would be money-sink game sooner than later. We will resume our normal platinum purchase when DE denies PW's investment or when we are made sure PW's involvement will not affect the future development of Warframe(might take a few month). As clanmate/alliance-mate of Lyvshalker, I agree to what he said. I will stop my platinum purchase until we are assured that PW's involvement won't adversely affect the game.
