SJunior Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 This is how you support DE? This is how you support a game that you love? By saying it's over, game over, i will quit etc? Can you just wait for an official response from our beloved DE instead of raging and spamming in this way? We are saying we Quit and it's Gameover if they DO go to PWE. We are saying we don't want them to think we want this. We are saying we don't want them to think this is a good idea by anymeans. We are SAYING We Care about this game and the Devs, And do not want them to sell out to something as toxic as PWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sormaran Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I don't understand any of this. The game was made because of companies like PWE messing their plans up. And yet they sold out all the same. Like oculus rift. u can trust no one i suppose, its sad really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoboDoge Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 This sale isnt something new, as i believe DE is dealing with PWE for some time now. Something this big cannot happen over night and as usual people at DE kept us in the dark. And yet again that is biting them in the &#!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numroth Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Now coming to think of it... All of PW's games are dead... Wich meas warframe are thei'r last straw. So if DE decides to not do this deal PW would be forever dead... or atelast for a while... T-T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatalEmbrace Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Just because you shower doesn't mean you get instant gratification. You need to shower more often for it to take effect. That was outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilybun 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.

Fretless Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I am NOT installing the Arc Games client that PWE has been pushing in their games lately. If that becomes a requirement, then I am gone. Otherwise... meh, wait and see what changes happen, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudHush Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Remember this [DE]Steve...? Steve is not the Owner, President, CEO, CFO, nor Director of Digital Extremes Ltd. He doesn't have a true say in any of this. Studio DE are artists for whom Corporate DE is patron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OniDax Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Exactly. Now I hope other people will dig deeper and utilize their critical thinking skills. Also since that last thread was deleted. "We don't work for publishers anymore, we work for players." - [DE]Steve And this deal quite possibly means that position has now changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letter13 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Oh, by the way everyone... the company expressing interest in buying shares isn't PWE. It's PW. PWE is the North-American branch. PW is the original Chinese company. Which means they're probably buying some shares because PW is going to be the publisher for Warframe on the Chinese Xbox Ones, and they need to invest some money in order to make money. So there's that. [size=2]Seriously.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
