Warframe Removed Microtransaction Because of One Player

In an interview belonging to the Noclip documentary series by Daniel O’Dwyer, Digital Extremes Studio Manager Sheldon Carter detailed an unexpected result that occurred when the developer introduced a small microtransaction for Kubrows, an in-game virtual pet. The studio had implemented what Carter defines as a “slot machine lever” that allowed gamers – for the price of about $0.67 – to randomize the fur pattern and fur color of their pet Kubrow. While it was only a cosmetic feature, the idea of putting something so random behind a paygate drew the ire of many of the game’s fans. Still, Digital Extremes went forward with the idea – until one fan spent well over $100 on it almost immediat

As you can see, Grendel is basically Warframe Tips|https://warframebase.com/ ’s Kirby. A grosser, more murderous version of Kirby to be sure, but he’s still just Kirby with a scarier face. Which is sort of in-theme for Halloween, now that we think of it. That’s not to say that Grendel will be bad, per se. Kirby is a beloved character, after all. Just that Grendel might seem a little uninspi

When Carter and the rest of the development staff looked at the ~$137 purchase history of a man who really, really wanted to find the perfect fur pattern for his in-game pet, they realized they had essentially created a slot machine that impulsive players would gamble away significant amounts of money on. While many studios would consider this a big win, Digital Extremes made the decision that this kind of activity wasn’t healthy for the playerbase in the long run. As Carter explained, it wasn’t long before the ‘gambling fur randomizer’ was removed from the game entir

Warframe is getting its first fat frame. While some characters have been described as “thicc” or “phat,” Grendel is unabashedly chunky. And while most other Warframes are loosely based off of Japanese samurai or ninjas, Grendel’s look is pretty obviously modeled after Sumo wrestlers. Just look at the way he sto
