Below is an excerpt from the LeYou Holdings (Digital Extremes parent company) Interim 2017 Report. [quote]During the first half of 2017, Warframe reached its fourth anniversary and still outperformed other games and still ranked the top 3 most popular free-to-play game and top 10 most-played games in all genre in terms of hours of playing on the Steam platform. Meanwhile, it keeps breaking records of core operational statistics. The long term success of Warframe is attributable to the unique and outstanding online operational capability of the Group designed for free-to-play online games, which provides stable, frequent and synchronised update of premium game content to all platforms across the world, offers premium customer service, helps build a cohesive gamer community and facilitates communication and exchange between players and the development team through online and offline interactive activities. Based on the operational statistics, the number of registered players of Warframe grew by 3.6 million players to a total of 31.8 million players during the first half of 2017. The number of monthly active users (“MAU”) increased to approximately 2.2 million players, up 1% as compared to the corresponding period in 2016. Meanwhile, the average revenue per user (“ARPU”) remained stable. In terms of game development and update, the Warframe development team has made constant effort in incorporating new elements and technology. It is expected that Plains of Eidolon, which is the biggest update so far, will be launched in the second half of 2017. Introducing the brand new open world mode, the update rocked the whole world following the release of the trailer and the number of active users hit a record high after the news went viral. The official release of the update in the second half of the year is likely to bring long term positive effect to sustain the success of the game.[/quote] Too bad bungie isn't transparent like Digital Extremes.
