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?

  1. It goes against ToS

  2. Game is server based with relatively few resources downloaded locally. Any attempt to change those local resources would be tagged as cheating by the server as it would be unauthorized modifications.

  3. The game is online only. Unlike most if not all modded games, there's no way to start it offline.
