While the playerbase has been gradually trending downward every day (as the barrier to entry slowly grows as well), Rebecca Ford (the ever-wonderful and fearless), Creative Director of Warframe, has chimed in to defend Marathon's uphill battle in the packed gaming landscape of today:

Ford: “Naming the next Warframe we release “Player Count” to pollute the searches and defend against the discourse.”

Twitter Dork: “Or devs could do what you and yours did. Make a good/decent game that gets enough retention to fund further development.”

We got incredibly lucky. We were broke. There were less than 500 other games released the year Warframe released. Every day people care about Warframe is a gift and we’re only as good as our last update.

Here's hoping that Cryo map pulls a Vault of Glass for player hype, otherwise- I dunno what Sony will do given the fact that they need a significant Return on Investment from Bungie...
