DrazeA Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'm hoping the reason DE hasn't responded yet is that they're trying to make sure they have enough shares to remain in control before letting us know they won't be taken over....but that may just be hopeful thinking on my part.

Ishki88 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 You ever thought maybe..........DE wants this? Are you going to ignore the "mistakes" they've implemented even after the fanbase said otherwise? - Devil's Advocate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achromos Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Still though, the primary thing to do is wait to see what happens. Rushing to decisions or preemptively leaving is not the way to go about this. I for one don't plan on leaving just yet, but I am definitely going to be weary about spending any money on this game in the meantime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlamourChariot Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I don't. That weaboo person makes mistakes and defends them with all their being. And calls people trolls for pointing them out.

Letter13 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Also, if "outstanding" actually means floating & unrestricted shares, there's always the chance that DE has only made 49% or less of its shares available (and left the rest restricted). Which would be fine because PWE wouldn't own the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StinkyPygmy Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Still though, the primary thing to do is wait to see what happens. Rushing to decisions or preemptively leaving is not the way to go about this. While I agree, since when has the forums been traditionally a calm and fully rational community? On the plus side at least everyones more or less on the same side of the hysteria this time. But yeah, just wait and see everyone. No point in freaking out and jumping ship yet.

Aggh Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) 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. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/outstandingshares.asp I'm no expert, but pretty much every result on google where a company is buying another company's outstanding shares is used when describing an acquisition. example: http://investor.ebay.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=84142 Edited July 2, 2014 by Aggh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Un1337ninj4 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 When an official word gets out. 1) Ensure DE is/isn't making a kickstarter 2) If not, designate ONE (WO)MAN to start one. If that individual buys the shares than it's out of reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalo1993 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Still though, the primary thing to do is wait to see what happens. Rushing to decisions or preemptively leaving is not the way to go about this. I think at this moment that's all people in the community can do. In all honesty Perfect World Entertainment has the longest track records (next to EA) of taking games that had potential, and turning it inside out. (separate from reply) I did decide though to look into it more carefully, and while I am surprised I didn't think of this earlier, it could be possible that PWE is wanting DE to make a game for them. I mean DE has made other games before so it could be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsydeFX Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 "Perfect World" corrupts everything it touches. This is the most depressing news I've heard this year. My heart actually sank as I realised what this means. This has been the ONLY game since BF3 that I've played longer than a couple of weeks. I've been playing since OBT started, with no intention of stopping... or had no intention. PWE games have always made me feel like they were a cash grab, and I could never play one long, and that's with no bias towards the company. I know nothing of them or their practices, just of their games, which I always end up quitting fast. GG DE. If this happens, then I'm sorry for your loss. This could have been the game of the century, especially with the dedication and progress you've made, and plan to expand on. Such a great loss...

iChauncey Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 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.

We should be getting a devstream announcement this week... I bet the thread wont go up till tomorrow now otherwise it will get rammed by pwe questions.
