(PSN)joe03827 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 So most of us have encountered the "Soon™ thing mind to explain pls ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neah Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) It will be explained Soon™ But seriously, a simple google search will be all you need Edited November 23, 2015 by Neah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaokasalis Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I think it was a term used by DE_Steve in earlier devstreams for game content that was coming sometime in the near future but didnt have a specified date. It might have been used so often it evolved into a meme. This is just speculation on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaotyke Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 DE says "X will be ready soon" they says most of the time. So we made it a Running Gag. Its not a famous as Around the Corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katinka Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 It was used so often on devstreams when asked for timescales that in became an in-joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krak_Nihilus Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I think it was a term used by DE_Steve in earlier devstreams for game content that was coming sometime in the near future but didnt have a specified date. It might have been used so often it evolved into a meme. This is just speculation on my part. They still use it all the time. Coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaypalm Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 hmmm , you talkin 'bout sooner , soonist and soon or is that another thing ? The community made a joke about "Soon" since it was used so often. DE quickly jumped on the joke bandwagon and played along with the joke, recently furthering the vague time frame with "more accurate" time frames. Same joke, just formaed once or twice. You'll also encounter the "around the corner" term here and there. Again, same joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiiat Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 it's a common joke used for a lot of Developers, where things are promised in the near future, soon, or some other synonym of that. not isolated to just Warframe or Digital Extremes by any means - something used long before, and will be used long after Warframe or Digital Extremes.

SweetSlaanesh Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) If you type "soon" on the War Thunder forums it automatically adds the trademark symbol after the word. Edited November 23, 2015 by SweetSlaanesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightrj Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 SoonTM wasn't really created by any modern day person like DE_Steve or whoever, It's been there for a long time, however it's mostly evolved into a meme if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artekkor Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 The scale goes: Soon™ (unknown date) Sooner™ (>month) Soonish™ (<month) Basically Soon™ is a joke/gag about DE saying that they will update/add something, but they are never sure when... Latest Mios been in development for like half a year now since his concept-art (fan-made btw). A good example of how Soon™ things can be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
