Consistently snubbed at game awards for best continued gaming experience

Hello from 2025, and warframe is still an absolute powerhouse of a game. 7k hours in and no sign of slowdown in my future ❤️

11 years later and this is still the greatest live service game ever created in my opinion. Kudos to you Digital Extreme! Here’s to another 11 years and more! 🎉

Here is to another five years for the game to be amongst the top 10, Well deserved.

I dropped this stuff on Warframes reddit page, hope they upvote this so more people could see

Dark sector could literally be re launched as a warframe quest lol

It's wild how these docs can often be about games that I would have absolutely no interest in, but after hearing the stories behind them - personal stories, little to do with mechanics or systems - it encourages me to actively seek them out. Keep up the incredible work Danny.

Man, DE is a real inspiration.
Sticking with this game even after being shot down by these huge publishers.
I'm really glad they were proved wrong.

Really surprising to hear publishers say dumb shit like "Nobody wants Sci-Fi" when games like Halo were massive back then. I'm glad Warframe's on this path now and not on the path of being publisher controlled, but it's also kinda shocking how publishers continue to be completely out of touch.

Seven years after this documentary, and now we have Warframe AND Soulframe. What a powerhouse of a studio! Forever Tenno and now forever Envoy <3

Never loved a developer team like DE, never loved a game like Warframe. Forever a Tenno <3

I think publishers are robots. Or aliens. Because who hears "Space. Ninja." and say "Nah that won't sell well. People don't like space. Or ninjas."

MR25 Grand Master here. I had no clue
just how close to sinking Warframe was back when I first started
playing in 2013. I bought my hunter founder pack for Excalibur Prime,
and eventually upgraded to Master. I wanted to get Grand Master but
kept convincing myself not to cause that was a lot of money. But
eventually I caved, cause I had a stable job and a steady source of
income.

The fact that the founder packs
basically saved DE still boggles my mind when I think about it. I
suppose there's a sense of pride in knowing I helped, but I try to
never forget where I started. A clueless little Tenno who was amazed
when I saw my friend had an ice mod on his melee. A clueless little
Tenno who saw Dual Ether and immediately went for that cause it
looked so cool, then discovered it was crap. Lol
6154 hours on steam so far, and still
going strong. Where my endgame is finding terrible weapons and making
them good with rivens. And finding brand new players and taking them
on 50 wave defense missions for fun. I wish only the best fr Warframe
in the future, and after seeing DE handle different situations, I
believe we are in good hands.

On the off-chance that you're reading
this comment, Rebecca, Steve, Sheldon, Megan, Scott or Geoff. I want
to thank you guys, from the bottom of my heart. For making a game
that I can genuinely say I am proud of being a part of. Here's to 5
more. Maybe someday I'll actually get to go to Tennocon. Of all the
possible 'cons', Tennocon is without a doubt the only one I'd ever
want to attend.
5 year registered loser, Sheldon. And
proud. :P

24:45 You know, as much as you think that publisher that said "you will fail" is an ass or something, I kinda feel like he's the hidden MVP. Because of his honest answer to Steve's question, that the game can't look this good and update much often,  Warframe became the game we love today. With high priority in giving players free updates, whether it's a major expansion or frequent hotfixes.

As someone with over 4800 hours invested, it's remarkable that Digital Extremes can keep me coming back, reinventing the property over and over to keep it fresh and compelling.

Literally one of the greatest games ever

Reason 1244 why i love no Clip: All of Their Videos have close Captioning.

Lmao if nexon was really one of those publishers that rejected them, it's so ironic how they are copying them now

"Nobody likes sci-fi" they say. Obviously this is why things like Wing Commander, Mass Effect, Halo, Dead Space and the like totally failed and never became well-known series. And there definitely aren't massive franchises by the names of Star Trek and Star Wars that almost everyone on the planet will have at least heard of.
I suppose the more things change, the more they stay the same; publishers have always been pretty damn disconnected in general.

I love how you got interviews with the people at Digital Extremes. And it's fascinating to see how things started with Jamie Schmalz's bedroom programming going through school. And even how they still have the old demo for the original idea of Dark Sector.

10 years and the game is still kicking ass, kudos to Digital Extreme for having integrity and not let greed blind their vision for the game unlike Bungie who gotten a lot worse after they broke up with Activision.
