Why Do People Play Warframe?
So here’s a legitimate question for you guys… why is Warframe so popular all of a sudden?
I know why it’s being played by all of the Twitch streamers. They have #ad in their titles and are being paid to play.
I know why it’s being covered on some of the bigger news sites. They have disclaimers about being flown to London, and many NA-based outlets are happy to accept the free vacation in exchange for coverage.
What I’m curious about is why the sudden surge. Warframe came out in 2013 and the reviews weren’t favorable. At best it was in that “hey if you like this you might also like this” category, scraping by with 40%-70% scores. I tried it and it felt like a spaztastic shooter game with big emphasis on looting and being a fashion show. The game I tried was generic and lifeless.
