The r/Warframe subreddit will be reopening in a restricted form on June 21st, when the 7 Crimes of Kullervo update releases.
While dormi.zone was initially created as an alternative platform for r/Warframe on Reddit during its blackout, since then we have gained subscribers from all across the fediverse who have been yearning for a place to discuss Digital Extremes’ flagship game. Thank you for joining and helping this community grow!
We recognize that there needs to be a space to discuss the fate of r/Warframe, but we’re also noticing a rising amount of duplicate posts about this topic, aggravating users who are here to discuss Warframe the videogame and may have even found their way here through means other than our blackout.
To keep these posts from overwhelming the frontpage of this community without denying them the visibility they should have, we will be funneling all discussion about the r/Warframe subreddit in this pinned megathread.
Once r/Warframe reopens, meta discussion about r/Warframe will return to Reddit.
Attempting to stop supporting a massive company you don’t like while actively and provably damaging a smaller company and community that you DO like was and is a terrible idea, frankly. I would have been so disappointed if the sub stayed closed while 7 Crimes launched, thinking about the analytics guy at DE looking at the tangible dip of week 1 player activity post-patch (compared to other updates) because the people who usually see the updates coming from looking at the reddit just didn’t know it even came out. Honestly, even keeping it closed for the next few days will hurt the anticipation buildup and negatively effect activity, but whatever. Better now than never.
I deleted my twitter account for less. Is it an issue that I stopped supporting a “massive company” because I didn’t like how it was being run? (not that twitter was run particularly well before it was bought). It’s not the first time a platform has killed itself. (looking at tumbler)
And now Tumblr is under new leadership and thanks to Twitter and Reddit doing their shenanigans… it’s been having a resurgence lol
The tumblr users reviled the twitter users while they’re actively embracing the reddit users. Two sides of the same shitposting coin.
Your twitter account wasn’t (probably) an active and living part of a game development studio’s online presence. Individuals can do whatever they want with their accounts, obviously, but the subreddit isn’t that, it’s a forum. All the people that choose not to engage with reddit anymore can just do that, but the people who want to interact with warframe ON reddit in SPITE of reddit (I hate twitch but I still watch these streamers, I hate youtube but I still watch yada-yada, etc;) can’t anymore with the sub closed. Do what you want, but let everyone else do that, too.
