Warframe Adds Three New Emotes for £0.00

It's a different world outside of the super triple-A development world, where a company can add three new little movement thingies to a game and not charge anything for it.

Madness, Warframe. Madness. Don't you know you can demand people pay actual money for that?


The shots... they keep coming...

 

[BjornTheBear]

Teach'em.

 

[Nokterian]

Goddamn these shots at bungie and activision is hilarious.

 

[PhatSaqs]

You should replace devs with pubs.

 

[GavinUK86]

Oh.

Well, that was a click-baitey title.

 

[Altima]

I don't know. I still choose to play Destiny over Warframe anyway.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Warframe is great-seriously check it out if you have not- the amount of content that you get for basically free (excusing internet costs etc) is incredible

 

[valkillmore]

Oh.

Well, that was a click-baitey title.

And yet here you are.

 

[Admodieus]

I wonder how much it will cost when they add fun gameplay to Warframe

 

[Evilmaus]

I crunched the numbers; that works out as £00.00 per emote.

Absolute bargain.

 

[benny_a]

You should replace devs with pubs.

Distinction without a difference in the case of Warframe.

 

[Kinsella]

Did I manage to post before someone was able to say that's it ok what Bungie is doing because they're making lots of money?

I love Destiny, but these shots at Bungie are incredibly warranted.

 

[kitschbeam]

dat clickbait title

 

[jem0208]

I wonder how much it will cost when they add fun gameplay to Warframe

Well, it's a free game so that would be £0.00 as well.

 

[SparkTR]

Oh.

Well, that was a click-baitey title.

See this one weird trick for free emotes, AAA developers HATE them.

 

[Stanng243]

And I don't even have to drink water to get them? Amazing!

 

[Azzawon]

This is great. I feel like other devs/pubs taking the piss out of them is the only way Bungie/Activision will ever realise how bad their practices are with TTK.

 

[giancarlo123x]

You won't believe the reaction they received!

 

[RukusProvider]

Publishers HATE this company!

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Kotaku UK doesn't even resemble the american website, looks like a news blog.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I really should download this and give it a try. It's third person, right?

 

[Admodieus]

Well, it's a free game so that would be £0.00 as well.

Free to play with lots of grinding and microtransactions. I'd rather play Destiny, especially after House of Wolves.

 

[biteren]

yup, before you know it you'll be playing a hack n slash game then you go "oh yeah! i got a gun!" this is a great Free to Play game.

 

[pizzacat]

If a game dev with a game as successful as destiny would throw shade then I would see it as a cool diss. This is like your local soundcloud rapper trying to ether Kendrick or Cole.


Who cares (besides destiny haters)

 

[jem0208]

Free to play with lots of grinding and microtransactions. I'd rather play Destiny, especially after House of Wolves.

Whereas you have Destiny with lots of grinding and macrotransactions.

3 Mindblowing Emotes That Prove AAA Publishers Eat Shit For Fun

[Anton Sugar]

Hahaha great response.

 

[Fisty]

Lol i knew they would be free when i saw the thread title. Well done Warframe, well done.

 

[DustyVonEric]

Warframe is great-seriously check it out if you have not- the amount of content that you get for basically free (excusing internet costs etc) is incredible

Exactly

 

[Spazznid]

And yet people like myself continue to pay top dollar for Warframe goodness.... How do they do it?

Seriously, devs. THIS is how you make money. I've spent more on Warframe alone than I have on Steam in 10 years combined. Believe me, I checked. 300+ games, still spent more on Warframe. I forget the last time I checked, but I know my Warframe bill back when I did was higher than the cost of my PC.

And the best part is that it is all more or less a donation. I could easily earn all the stuff I bought. I know two other people in real life who play Warframe and one only paid $5 ever and is rank 13, and does the same high-level shit I do, and the other is a 16-17 year old kid who doesn't have a computer and still manages to keep a high rank, without buying anything but cosmetics they he can't easily earn in-game.


Warframe is the perfect F2P model and a damn good general business model.

This post is super meta.

 

[TouchMyBox]

Big Publishers Hate Them!

My time with warframe actually had a lot less grinding than my time in Destiny, personally. Destiny also has a lot of Macrotransactions. I spent $40 on warframe to get the cores necessary to make most of the game's suits normalized; in order to get up to date with Destiny's expansions(excluding the base cost), I'd have to spend a lot more than that.

 

[GodofWine]

I cannot believe people pay money, big money, for emotes and cosmetics...its the people who buy this stuff that are to blame...partially.

I will never play destiny because of how little content came in the main game, and now due to the cost of dlc, it makes buying the game even at 20 bucks still make no sense to me.

Destiny has exactly 0 microtransactions.

 

[NullPointer]

Everything they've added to the game has been free. And there's a LOT.

A comparison of Warframe's support to any AAA game is an embarrassment for the AAA side of things. And in game systems and depth and content and replayability and customization and end-game there is far, far more to find and do in Warframe than in its competition. Its just not even close.

 

[Steel]

Read that post again. I said MACROtransactions.

The expansion pass for destiny is $40 what are you talking about? What extra thing is there to get up to date? Since you're excluding the base game.

How can you include the taken King when it's not even out?

 

[Hidden One]

0 dollars? This is madness.

 

[GlamFM]

Whatever that is. Destiny has 2 (two) expansions.

Is that a lot?

Excluding the base game is more generous than excluding taken king.

Whatever that is. Destiny has 2 (two) expansions.

Is that a lot?

How many expansions does Destiny have planned? Not to mention the $20 emote DLC.

 

[Live Free or Die]

And this is why the video game industry will never be taken seriously.

 

[diablos991]

Bungie and Activision deserve it.
This game is an abomination of the original vision.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Yeah, Warframe doesn't get to poke fun at Destiny when their F2P scheme is disgusting

 

[Glitchesarecool]

I think this was just convenient timing (there's usually a Thursday update), but it's pretty funny all things considered.

Warframe is fun!

Yeah, Warframe doesn't get to poke fun at Destiny when their F2P scheme is disgusting

You mean the scheme where everything is optional, and the real money currency can be traded?

 

[Kinsella]

Destiny has exactly 0 microtransactions.

Exactly. It has macrotransactions instead, even for items every other game considers cosmetic.

 

[KiefbladeMaster]

You should replace devs with pubs.

This.

Yeah, Warframe doesn't get to poke fun at Destiny when their F2P scheme is disgusting

And also this.

 

[NullPointer]

Yeah, Warframe doesn't get to poke fun at Destiny when their F2P scheme is disgusting

It is, but the game itself is also free, as well as all of its updates and expansions, each of which is more extensive than any $15-20+ 'expansion's put out by the big guys.

Its a different model, and not everybody will dig it, but its a perspective that makes some of the AAA pricing schemes look even worse.

 

[Sinfamy]

You should replace devs with pubs.

Bungie gets equal blame from me.
