wendiGhoul Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 All of the "sources" are website I don't trust and have iffy credibility. Also they probably see the monster thread developing and are in a meeting now talking about it either to: A (and most likely) Figure out who posted it since it not true or B preparing to give the bad news. aastocks is a legitimate news website for Hong Kong's stock market (http://www.aastocks.com/en/default.aspx). They've also reported on the acquisition: http://www.aastocks.com/en/News/HK6/61/NOW.612668.html As the company is Chinese, you're probably only going to see news about it in Chinese news sources.

Inquisitioner Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 They may not sell, but the attempt to buy them is very real: http://www.4-traders.com/SUMPO-FOOD-HOLDINGS-LTD-7166883/news/Sumpo-Food---Perfect-World-to-invest-in-Digital-Extremes-18661957/ Investment...

PsychedelicSnake 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. These were my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaima Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 IF PW buys this game, first thing ill do is Uninstall Warframe. Then i'll never look at Warframe again. Finally, Ill throw my laptop out the window and Hulk smash the &^%^ out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)infuriatedplayer Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 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. im too distracted by that fancy red text...

immolator1001 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiegraf Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) I got to agree with the majority here : all games that was taken by PWE ended up a bastardized abomination of its former self. I played Champions Online pre-PWE when it had a subscription. It was a fun game and for the time I had spent on it, it felt like money well spent. Trying to go back at it now, it feels so alien it hurts. I played Blacklight Retribution. At first, during open beta then when it went live, it was pretty decent, with options to gain parts by ingame currency indefinitively. Now, I downloaded it on my PS4 and PC; no such option remains; you want 1 part or gun forever? It's 5 to 10$ apiece. Neverwinter : at release, it was pretty fun to play with a couple of friends, with the toolset giving budding creators a way to make custom content and Neverwinter actually encouraging players to play that content. Now, it feels like it's stuck in molasse. I never personally played Star Trek Online but a few of my friends did. After the game went to PWE, they stopped playing entirely merely 2 weeks in. Mind you, they played it a bit casually and for fun so really, the game just wasn't fun to play anymore. Most of their in-house game do actually use the same engine over and over. While it's not a bad practice overall, the speed at which they push out new games instead of actually trying to better their existing ones feels like they're trying to go for quantity over quality. None of their in-house titles felt appealing to me and some were quite lacking overall. This is in stark contrast with Warframe that do have delays in some updates but actually ensures a semblance of quality and dedication. Warframe isn't a throwaway project of DE, it's THEIR only project, THEIR focus. If PWE buys DE Ltd. and decides to 'perfect' Warframe (as in, make demands to make the game more inline with PWE business practices), I can already taste the ressentment that those changes will bring. 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? It was actually a business deal to have that site be a distribution platform for Warframe, much like how Steam does right now. In other words, they hosted the launcher and a payment option to buy plat through their website, nothing more. This is different as it's actually asset acquisition meaning that PW is trying to BUY DE / Warframe, not offer to distribute it.

Screw just demanding refunds. They wont give it. The only option you will have is to contact the bank and reverse the charges. Doing so will likely get your account banned. It could have effects on your steam account if you did it through them. Be very careful how you handle it but its the only way to be sure you get your money back.
