!["A lot of things that don't fit neatly in the box of another department just sort of land on our desk,” senior community manager Zach McKone told Aftermath. “We receive graduation letters and wedding invites and everything [from dedicated players]. I think that's definitely a pillar of what we want to ensure community is strong on: that every individual feels like they are heard. Especially if the community is like 'We want a memory in-game of this person,' we do what we can to immortalize them."
There are pros and cons to this approach: Warframe’s community is as dedicated as they come, an asset no amount of money or hubristic determination can bludgeon into existence, as the recent trend of live-service games dropping like flies has shown us. But try as they might, Warframe’s developers aren’t capable of satisfying everyone; you can only reply to so many letters, and you probably shouldn’t attend all that many players’ weddings (though it has happened on rare occasions). You can only be confronted by so much death. And if you give some people an inch—especially in spaces where they feel like they’re supposed to be catered to—they’ll do their damndest to take a mile.
Still, despite growing pains and a few truly harrowing encounters, Warframe’s developers are proud of the path they’ve picked.
"We don't claim to have some mission statement,” Ford told Aftermath. “We don't claim to have answers to everything. But it's like, yeah, it would be fine [for everyone] to be a little more human."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreifi6qvgfwo6creffn6ynfsusjmzvkcc3yenek6w7hiws23hwgvslq)
