Telamoont Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 If DE is at negotiations with PWE it is being carry as a secret for at least 1 or 2 weeks. Not fresh new. Prob most devs know about but not allowed to talk about (yet).Its really sad to see such good game turn into shreds. If this negotiation completes it will be The End of Warframe. Game Over Tenno.My feelings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeahanne Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I feel heartily disappointed... The main reason I was drawn to Warframe was the game itself, but Digital Extremes and the people who make it up, the Developers we get to see and hear from (which no other company that I know does), and the Community have been what have actually kept me here the longest. DE is the absolute ANTITHESIS of most all gaming companies, and the worst of those companies is generally wrapped up as and embodied in Perfect World Entertainment. If this actually happens I'm sorry to say that I'll be gone. I just can't watch this game and company be turned into a pay-to-win shell of what it is now. I'd rather leave before it happens and have good memories of the people and game that Warframe is now than watch it die a slow death as PWE sucks it dry for every sent they can squeeze out of it without care for what it is and the people who love it.

Ambrangelle Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) The issue is that they have 40 days to decide on the agreement. Looking back, PWE has ruined several games they touched, much like SEGA and Three Rings Design. PWE will cripple warframe. It wont be Warframe, it'll be Chicken Factory Frame MMORPG. Why does PWE own a chicken business anyway? Edited July 2, 2014 by Ambrangelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Runukingfutz Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 This is a good point, but it makes one of a few assumptions: 1) that the 'outstanding shares' in question will be of large enough volume so as to permit Sumpo and/or PWE a controlling or sufficiently influencing stake in Digital Extremes as a whole 2) that stipulations in an eventually binding agreement shall give Sumpo/PWE direct influence over any part of the development of Warframe as a contiguous entity 3) that somehow the Schmalz folks (head honchos at DE) will permit Sumpo/PWE to destroy Warframe. We have access to no knowledge on any of these points. Valid points, however in my eyes, them (DE) being willing to enter into a deal for any amount of shares sold to pwe would first of all mean that DE would at least have to field their ideas and give them some merit or risk losing their investment. and second of all indicate that DE is at some level willing to voluntarily "give up" some of the (not sure if this is the right wording but..) creative freedom theyve had up until now.

GlamourChariot Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 To those new arrivals to the thread, there WAS already a reply from [DE]Rebecca. They are aware of us, they just haven't made a statement yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenzinNinJa Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 The thread started about 7h ago. Now we are at 150+ pages on. If DE doesn't get the message i don't know what will. It's even moving so fast, that it's messing up the notification system. I have never ever had more than 25 notification at any one time, but right now, it says I have 28.

Mezahmay Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Uhh...I so didn't need this news today. Hopefully DE won't get purchased. If they are, I hope Warframe isn't #*($%%@ with too much. If it is, then I guess I can finish playing Skyrim and Fallout: NV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auxeus Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Well 24 hours for DE to respond, if DE doesn't want to correct this false claim in that many hours, then assume is in progress or decided to sell. For now i'm outta this hell hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidathe Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Who said PWE already touched Warframe? The company is trying to buy DE's stocks. It's business stuff I'd rather not get in to. I doubt DE's already sold. Again, until we receive confirmation, there is no way to tell. Then again... DE got changed to DE Ltd... OH GOD NO PLEASE GOD Ltd is business stuff where they go from being a private company. To being a private company that can sell stocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Lord_Gremlin Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Hm, wait, wasn't this company going indie on purpose? Because they used to be under 2K Games. Who's DE president? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlayde Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I would rather DE just file IPO and take the company public instead of getting acquired by PWE. I'm sure they could raise a comparable amount to whatever PWE is offering them. I've seen what PWE does to games and it's nothing but a Pay-to-Win crap fest.

We have access to no knowledge on any of these points. I feel this post needs more visibility. Right now people are panicking without having all the facts. This could be "meh" or it could be sky is falling, but right now we have no way of knowing until such a time as there's an official statement of some sort.
