In an interview belonging to the Noclip documentary series by Daniel O'Dwyer, Digital Extremes Studio Manager Sheldon Carter detailed an unexpected result that occurred when the developer introduced a small microtransaction for Kubrows, an in-game virtual pet. The studio had implemented what Carter defines as a "slot machine lever" that allowed gamers - for the price of about $0.67 - to randomize the fur pattern and fur color of their pet Kubrow. While it was only a cosmetic feature, the idea of putting something so random behind a paygate drew the ire of many of the game's fans. Still, Digital Extremes went forward with the idea - until one fan spent well over $100 on it almost immediat

Warframe is a co-op shooter player in third-person and is already available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Players play as Tenno, a race of ancient warriors who suit up in unique "Warframes" in their war with the Grineer. Warframe is always a top 10 played game on Steam and seems to only be growing each year with more and more attention being paid to it by the media and streamers/influencers. I jumped into the game early, during the beta days, and fell in love with its uniquely intense and fluid movement and combat mechanics. It's what a lot of players moved to who were disappointed in Destiny 2's offeri

We had a lever, basically, for all intents and purposes, and we saw, you know, a guy pull the lever like 200 times. And it’s just like, ‘oh my dear god, what have we done? We’ve created a slot machine.’ And so you know, it was a couple days I think it took us to take it out - a day, day and a half. That one is a big reg

Harrow’s kit provides him with versatility and power to be useful in almost any situation. While he may be tough to acquire for Warframe players strapped for cash, he’s more than recommended to be your next Frame to pick

While Warframe still has microtransactions, the game has been widely praised for keeping things in balance: the online environment certainly isn't 'pay to win', and purchases within the game don't come remotely as close to gambling as the infamous slot machine lever incident mentioned above. Now some 5 years after its initial release, Warframe is still getting updates from the developers as the community continues to dedicate plenty of hours into the space-based shoo

Microtransactions have been an increasingly touchy subject for gamers in the last few years, especially since Star Wars Battlefront 2 found itself in the spotlight after DICE pushed consumers too far. Game developers have been hard-pressed to find innovative ways to increase revenue earned from titles, but today's story is something else entirely: the developer of Warframe removed a microtransaction because it proved too successful. While some studios purposefully target high-spending gamers (who hold the industry nickname of "whales"), one man's click-happy purchase binge changed the philosophy of the Warframe crew fore

The Equinox in either form is meant to be played as a support character, lending powerful buffs to allies, hindering opponents, and granting energy regeneration to teammates. She can be played solo, but she really shines in gro

When Carter and the rest of the development staff looked at the ~$137 purchase history of a man who really, really wanted to find the perfect fur pattern for his in-game pet, they realized they had essentially created a slot machine that impulsive players would gamble away significant amounts of money on. While many studios would consider this a big win, Digital Extremes made the decision that this kind of activity wasn't healthy for the playerbase in the long run. As Carter explained, it wasn't long before the 'gambling fur randomizer' was removed from the game entir

These games will appeal to new PlayStation 4 owners that only just got their consoles during the holiday season, although the range of software isn't as appealing as November 2018's PlayStation Plus offering.
