Nkomo-Sama Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 After reading over the articles some more, it looks less and less like an acquisition on PWE's part. If they were purchasing 51% of DE's shares, then the reports would all likely say "Acquiring [company]" rather than "Purchasing outstanding shares of [company]". As far as I can tell all it is is PWE investing money in DE, not buying DE. Big difference between investing and acquiring folks. Also, CALM DOWN. Seriously. Outstanding shares...I think I'll look into what that means exactly. Of course it would be awesome if you were correct in your observations.

Letter13 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Not really =/ Definition of 'Outstanding Shares' A company's stock currently held by all its shareholders, including share blocks held by institutional investors and restricted shares owned by the company’s officers and insiders. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/outstandingshares.asp Well crap. That being said, I have my fingers crossed that if it is true, PWE won't mess with or tell DE how to develop Warframe (or how to brand Warframe I don't want to see their logo). If they do mess with how Warframe is developed or what's put in Warframe... well... there'd likely be a mass exodus of players. Likely myself included.

enngets Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Even if PWE buys DE and the games stays the same i will quit after 1k h of gametime i refuse to even bother with pwe games after what they did with Neverwinter and Champions online and x other games .

Renegade343 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Wrong, as far as I remember outstanding shares = Float+Restricted shares. In reality DE probably has more than enough shares in the treasury to maintain autonomy. Which is essentially the whole company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordrevious Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 De, don't. Please. I've been playing warframe since right after Sling Stone and I've watched the game improve steadily. Yes there have been bumps and bruises along the line but the progress on the good things was steady, and because I saw potential being realized I bought plat and got friends into the game and supported you with my money. Please don't make me regret my support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
