Digital Extremes

Like, you mentioned Warframe.

I think that's a great example where kind of universally that game is really well-regarded, and I think Digital Extremes is a really great studio.

But that, that's kind of illustrates the sort of ch- challenges that these kinds of games m- have because after a certain point, the, the cost of, like, g- getting into the game, like, not financially, but the time investment, uh, and the sort of grind to do it is immense.

Uh, and, you know, at a certain point, I think that's kind of the problem that Bungie ran into.

We've had two Tencent companies on our show.

We had Sumo, we had Digital Extremes.

Both of them basically said to us that you kind of leave them alone.

There's options to get involved in things if they want to.

I mean, we could add this to the list, man.

Digital Extremes, Hello Games, ArenaNet.

There are a number of examples out there of how the fuck to do it.

If only

And I was like, that's awesome.

Because I'm originally from Ontario, so Digital Extremes was the thing back then.

So it was really, really cool to see.

And I still follow them to this day, because it's incredible what they've done.

the idea of the human behind the product.

I don't remember his name, but there's a guy that recently joined Digital Extremes that has made it his number one objective to rework some of the older Warframes that were released back when the game was still in its infancy.

Like, he's a really good game designer.

He's a really good creator.

And then let's say like probably one of the most interesting parts about this whole thing.

There's this the current creative director is named Rebecca.

She was once the community manager at Digital Extremes.

Also the voice of the Lotus, which was really cool.

I'm forgetting their name.

Digital Extremes? Yeah.

Digital Extremes.

My main question really was about Soulframe is, hey, how is it so different? This is a completely different kind of thing.

Warframe is completely different here, blah, blah, blah.

February.

That'd be hilarious, but hopefully not.

The funny part was these guys live like their digital extremes are headquartered like two hours away from me, like essentially local.

Airship Syndicate's Wayfinder kind of did that.

It was kind of a live service game during its initial development and then Digital Extremes makers of Warframe pulled out and then they kind of took out all those elements and made it a single player kind of action RPG looter grinder game.

to success i think so sounds like they can sell their next game

that's good um interesting uh well that's a i would say that's a positive yeah i don't think it is common uh and uh as as someone
