havikryan Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 DE stated they have 14 million players: http://venturebeat.com/2015/02/04/veteran-work-for-hire-studio-n-space-teams-up-with-warframe-studio-to-make-something-of-its-own/ “We’re a developer that can successfully develop, self-publish, and support an international hit. We proved as much with Warframe and its 14 million players.” well color me surprised I did not expected that many to play warframe! anyone else surprised by this? because I sure am!

WERElektro Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yup ... I am surprised. And I wonder If they consider some people having multible accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcusVeles Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Maybe they mean 14 million accounts created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJStorm Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 More like 14 Million Accounts created....PC + PS4 + Xbone... One can created infinite amount of accounts whether against the rule or not, I guess DE took that into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaugahn Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Maybe they mean 14 million accounts created. Still, that's waaaaay more than the last accounts created stat we saw. Even if only a fraction of those accounts are active... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubewano Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 i'm under no doubt that those numbers are simply a count of how many registered accounts the game has to date, it doesn't reflect how many of the listed 14 million are still active or whether or not some of the listed accounts are simply duplicates of lone users.

SocknBoppers Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 How can there be 14 million players if there's only 3 thousand people on earth? :^) Seriously though, it doesn't feel like I've interacted with a fraction of a fraction of that supposed population in-game.

Mcl_Blue Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'm more surprised by how little recognition Warframe has compared to games that are inferior to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letter13 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Seriously though, it doesn't feel like I've interacted with a fraction of a fraction of that supposed population in-game. It's the same with many MMOs. Like World of Warcraft and their "13-Million" players ad campaign. Turns out only a fraction were active subscribers.

[DE]Momaw Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 i'm under no doubt that those numbers are simply a count of how many registered accounts the game has to date, it doesn't reflect how many of the listed 14 million are still active or whether or not some of the listed accounts are simply duplicates of lone users. Agree. Every time you see somebody who is trapped in a "zombie clan" where nobody else has been around for three months, you have to wonder how many of Warframe's accounts are active. Which isn't to imply that Warframe is dead or dying (it's not), I just don't believe it has 14M active players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qroar Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 It's reached golden age WoW popularity. It has about 22,000 concurrent players on Steam. Either 90% of the playerbase is on consoles or the popularity is nowhere near WoW's max. I feel like DE is just referring to accounts created.

(PSN)Magician_NG Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 PC player base was around 5 million before the PS4 launch. Boasting a 14 million player base doesn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husla Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Agree.

Doesn't say active, If that was true.. this game wouldn't be in "beta" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaugahn Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Doesn't say active, If that was true.. this game wouldn't be in "beta" Playerbase size has nothing to do with how far along in development a game is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)witex25 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Probably 14 milions are not the number of active players DE's must (but they will not) clear this. But still warframe is getting bigger and more popular and i freaking love it!! That's for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)SancticuS Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Well March 2014 had close to 8m players (2m of those PS4) and that was before Xbox joined the herd. So here we are almost a year later and they list 14m players. Not too far fetched but still a impressive growth if the numbers are correct. Perhaps they will list the numbers around the anniversary as they did last time. http://www.digitalextremes.com/news/2014/03/warframe-year-1-infographic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric1738 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 14 million accounts most likely. it's easy enough to create an account and give up after 5 minutes. or create multiple smurf accounts to farm event mods and sell them later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree.. I have 8 accounts myself and play them to keep the game interesting.
