Death of a salesman here,

It seems I have to report some bad news. Various sources have reported that Perfect World Entertainment (aka. PWI, PW) -famous for their "pay-to-play to pay-to-win" model may have bought controling shares in Digital Extremes ltd. - the Studio behind Dark Sector and Warframe.

 

Fans have gone batnut-crazy (flying holy balls, L'bastion!) at the thought of their favourite grindy-RNG(-y? or RNG-ie?) game, namely, Warframe, becoming controlled by the company which seems to ruin every online multiplayer game it accuires with "x chance to drop item Y when opened with key Q" lock boxes rented items and other things that Warframe in its creation was meant to be different from.

 

 

TLDR: How to ruin a game based on SPACE - NINJAS? Rumours suggest that simply having sold shares to  Perfect World Entertainment, DE Ltd. has ruined a game with frikkin SPACE holyballs NINJAS!!

 

EDIT 1:

Official Vague Crowd Control Statement from [DE]Steve basically says "Don't worry guy. The game will always be the game no matter what happens to the game."

Thank you for that confidence-boost.

EDIT 2: 15th of October 2014

Digital Extremes has finally confirmed the suspected acquisition by Perfect World (aka Perfect Online -- a subsidiary of Holdings Limited).

Kinda sad.....I enjoyed this game, because it was actually free-to-play. I mean I paid my 10 bucks or so for some extra space..

The Warframe was already pay to win anyways because of the obscene amount of time getting any marginally decent weapon took, and don't even get me started on the slot restrictions and what it took to make the rarer weapons and even basic frames.

Too much speculation to say for certain.

 

I'll probably see how the game is in a few months before saying the final word.
