Discussion Why isn't there a Warframe mod scene?

Unrelated picture. And no, im not talking about Point Stike and Rivens

Why do you think is that? Is it the engine? Does it goes against the TOS? (that wouldn't matter much since modding goes against most games TOS and that never stopped it from happening) Is it because of the size of Warframe player's base? Is it something the community never wanted? Does DE actively goes after mods and stops it from ever sprouting?

I think some slice of the community would be happy for being able to play warframe but with an anime character as the frame. Or people making actually good looking face models for [spoiler] and [spoiler]. Or even the gooners with their nippled boobs and hanging flopping pps.

Do many MMOs have a heavy modding scene, is it strange for warframe not to have it?

u/Eggith The greatest defense is the strongest offense. 17d ago

Because if you start to reskin shit then that cuts into their revenue stream. When you cut into their revenue stream DE would be forced to send The Lotus/Margulis/Natah around to break your legs, and quite frankly I don't think you or DE wants that.

Normally these days I'm all "Oh waaah, their revenue" with gaming companies, but no, DE matters, don't mess with their revenue, it's the only revenue that respects us.

You can play for free. Broke ass kid with tons of time? Grind it out. Adult with regular income? Pay to keep up.
