(PSN)dukezap1 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Start at 11:08 Almost sounds like Sony saved DE The whole panel is worth a watch, not just for DE/Warframe talk, but free-to-play in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somedude1000 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Managed to watch the whole thign earlier in my spare time, and I think that PC was okay for a short while, but going to PS4 really helped boost DE's income, they managed to tug in a much larger audience by having the game on both platforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC has far more active players and they aren't losing a cut of the income to the console manufacturer. More than anything, I think spreading to consoles gives publicity with a small increase in profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monolake Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Except WF existed for what, a year? before it got to PS. And afaik it was partly self-funded from the money DE made creating other games (only part of the studio had been working on WF) partly crowd-funded and partly financed by the state of Canada (DE got like 25 mln from them). But Sony is pretty cool and more open to developers than MS. I'v been with a independent company who made a rather bad f2p game, and Sony still gave them a chance (both game and company are long time dead) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snydrex Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Sony is but a stepping stone on DE's path to greatness. Let the triumphant legacy continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaynArgyr Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 To be honest, and I know I'm going to be hated to say this, DE should have kept WF as a PC\PS4 exclusive then. I'm happy that going Sony saved DE and Warframe, but the PS4 needs more love and having the exclusive would have helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DE]Momaw Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I thought that comment was kind of interesting too. Is Warframe PC not profitable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheErebus. Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I thought that comment was kind of interesting too. Is Warframe PC not profitable? I think it is the most profitable area, but generally we do see people go for the consoles due to the "fact" that it costs thousands of dollars to keep a PC up to date and ready for gaming. So I guess getting the game to both consoles really did help out the game, but not by a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burq Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Goddamit Steve, stop making me like you for your honesty (calling grind walls what they are: GRINDWALLS) and saying how the first draft of the system was scrunged up in a week. I was surprised to hear that they went f2p because it was their last ditch effort at surviving and that it worked. The whole "loyalty" thing also got me, considering how much the founder packs costed , loyalty was the only way to call it without making it sound offensive. Kudos to you Steve and to your crazy pink shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaynArgyr Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I also think that console players are more 'open' toward purchasing things like prime packages and so than PC players in general... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaynArgyr Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Welcome to the world of ignorant gamers, where they think you need to be a millionaire to use and keep a PC running. I think that, accessories aside, you can get a pretty respectable build for less than $1000. Mine, and it's serving me since around 5+ years, costed me €600 and here in italy prices are higher.

I use a laptop for my gaming (and it's a high end laptop for really graphically intensive games.), but even then I know how cheap building a PC can be.

Guess that's why people is starting to think PC gaming is really expensive... To be fair, I think Laptops are overrated. I know, they may be convenient and all, being able to bring them around or to fit smaller spaces than PCs. But it feels they have lost their original purpose as traveling computers to replace the Desktops as home computers. Now almost everyone wants a laptop, which is inherently more expensive than a desktop due to prices for high end components miniaturization, for everything. Gaming included. Or they go buying one of these pre-made builds at malls and stuff... Lazyness and desire to have something of which they'll use a minimal part of its potentials...

For me, it's because the country I live in doesn't really allow for you to build your own PC. There aren't any stores that sells parts or anything like that and trying to order in parts is incredibly infuriating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask in which country you live? Tempted to say Khur, but prolly just me and you would get the reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noabettiet Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Sony was more of an potato(orokin reactor), to witch powered Warframe. The potential was already within (the) Warframe. If my analogy makes sense to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
