Renegade343 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Didn't something EXACTLY like this happen several months back when someone made a thread with "evidence" saying that [insert Evil Company Here] was buying out Digital Extremes, and a few hours later DE confirmed it to be false? Which "Evil Company"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)infuriatedplayer Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 DE wont mettle with this stuff. It will completely rip apart all the hard work they've done and decimate their playerbase. They are much smarter than that. coughs awkwardly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time this sort of thing happened was because DE was adding some other company as a distribution outlet. Don't think there has been anything along these lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember like a year ago when similar thing happened, but it turns out it only was as far as with Steam - only purchase platinum through them. Though this one specifically wants to acquire all of DE.

Ya and all of these websites are shady and have no credibility. DE is large and reputable enough that if this was real there would be reports from gaming sites considering this information was released 3 days ago.

Renegade343 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I forget exactly as it was many months ago, but I remember something likes this happening before. I was not on the forums at the time, so I just asked. But in all seriousness, I do fear that another pay-to-win/pay-to-play gaming company takes over yet another good free-to-play game (which is probably the fifth time in my gaming history).

Mrjin 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.

Noxonion Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Well if it is false I can go back to eating ice cream in a more relaxed and calm fashion without having to worry about another evil F2P company stalking me to the end of the earth.

Don't think there has been anything along these lines Yeah it was a distribution company who was going to have no say whatsoever in warframe. That doesn't mean DE didn't do business with said company -- they did, and it turned out to be harmless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llyssa Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warframe's popularity has skyrocketed so I'd be surprised if there WASN'T purchase attempts. That said, we simply do not know the exact nature of what is going on.
