Awazx Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 "...We don't know whether PWE is purchasing 100% of DE's shares, 49% of DE's shares or just a paltry 1% (we don't know how many shares DE has unrestricted). Basically we currently know nothing except that PWE has expressed interest and there's been some unofficial verbal (not even written) non-binding agreement between DE and PWE involving the selling of shares. We don't know how many shares either." -Letter13 (COMMUNITY MODERATOR) https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/256085-what-the-heck-is-happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DadidJones Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO please NO they want to stab us with a knife and sell our organs on black market perfect world is the false shepard please please don't make this happen they would ruin everything they will shut the game off about 1 year later this is the biggest product of DE since Bioshock 2 maybe selling warframe is good busines but you will get lots of hate. if perfect world get his hands on the game players won't pay for every update that comes each year, they want to pay for cool stuffs that DE makes and frequent patches inspire players to play on new weapons frames etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigercloud Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 TL;DR: do not log in to Warframe for the time being, thank you. --- DE probably cannot stop PWE from buying it. But you can. I think this is the crucial first point to start with. This isn't necessarily DE's fault and even if DE doesn't want it, they probably can't stop it. The shareholders decide DE's fate, and if PWE is paying them a lot of money, they are going to sell. They don't care about Warframe or its community, they only care about the capital gains they make on their shares in the case of a buy-out. This means that we cannot focus our rage and anger at DE, we have to focus it at PWE. PWE shops around for games based on a number of faceless metrics, such as logins per day, average session length, peak concurrent users, average revenue per user, etc. They are not buying DE because they think players will like it, and will not be dissuaded from their purchase if players complain. Words are worthless to PWE: metrics are all that matter. Forum posts do not matter to PWE. Complaints do not matter to PWE. Petitions do not matter to PWE. There is only one channel through which we can voice our displeasure about the PWE takeover, and that is metrics. The only way Warframe players can send any kind of meaningful message to PWE to have them call off the deal is by causing a sufficiently significant change in operating metrics that would have to be reported to the potential buyer during the process of lawful disclosure during the MNA (mergers and acquisitions) process. PWE will absolutely drop the deal for DE if Warframe activity metrics falter significantly. This is a challenge between the power of the community to stand up for their game (by refusing to play it at all) and the apathy that PWE is banking on. PWE probably expects a few people to protest or to quit, and if a few of us do then they go ahead and destroy this game. This is the community's chance to prove that it can't be ignored. And I'm not talking about some symbolic 1-hour walkout or a 24-hour boycott. I'm talking about not playing at all, even if they release a massive content patch, until we are certain that PWE is out of the picture. Everyone who logs in to Warframe, for whatever purpose, is currently supporting the PWE buy-out of DE. Period. If you want to keep the game PWE-free, do not log in. Clan leaders should log in, set their MOTD to a notification about not logging in, and log out again. Stay on the forums, stay active and make yourselves heard here, but absolutely do not log in to the game. Show DE the empty desert they'll have if PWE buys them out and then you can all return to the lush oasis of Warframe once this 11th plague has blown over. This is important people. Read it. My thoughts: wait to see what DE has to say, and if it's true/PW is getting a controlling share, DO THIS. DO IT TILL IT HURTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaosseed Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Think of all the money you'll made by partnering up with China, DE! League of Legends has done it, why don't you! Riot Games is also owned by Tencent, btw.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperius Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I think a lot of us understand that it probably won't do much, but we all want DE to know that this is a TERRIBLE idea. Warframe's one of the best games I've played in years, and seeing it die would, well, suck. As long as people have grounded reasons and expectations, I'm all for it.

SodapopKevin Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 If PW buys DE I want a refund on my founder's pack and the prime packages I've purchased. I only got them because I felt I was supporting a developer who was trying to make a fun 3rd person shooter their own way, not money hungry publisher who only cares abour profit.

ShioriShi Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I suggest we take some drastic actions and go on a strike, and do 2 days of "no WF gaming" give a lil incline on how many of us are serious on leaving if PW gets anything to say about WF.
