Launching a live-service game shouldn’t be the be-all and end-all, according to Digital Extremes CEO Steve Sinclair. The Warframe executive wants to see companies practice more patience with these titles, giving them a chance to succeed.
Speaking with VGC, Sinclair bemoaned how live-service games with “massive potential” end up getting axed “too soon.” He explained: “They think the release is make or break, and it’s not. They have a financial way to be persistent, and they never do it. It comes out, doesn’t work and they throw it away.”

Now Playing: Warframe 1999 Tennocon 2024 Trailer
There has seemingly been a live-service game bubble over the past year or so. Knockout City got shut down in June 2023, for example, following other titles like Rumbleverse, CrossfireX, and Anthem. Even Digital Extremes closed its publishing arm last year, giving back Wayfinder to developer Airship Syndicate. Originally, that game was supposed to be an online RPG with the backing of Digital Extremes.
Over the weekend, Digital Extremes held TennoCon 2024. The company showed off a new gameplay trailer for Warframe: 1999, where players do battle with a ’90s boy band, and it hosted a one-hour livestream of the upcoming game Soulframe. Digital Extremes also revealed a partnership with Make-A-Wish for a teenager to become a voice actor in Warframe: 1999.
