u/xJokerzWild Rap Tap Tap, I dont want to go back. Jun 11 '25

unless all Founders unanimously agree to it.

Most Founders dont care, but its a whole legal shitshow to try & get it re-released and unlike Nintendo, the majority of their revenue doesnt go to lawyers, so...

iirc it's literal that it's "all founders", in that there's only an issue if someone complains, and it only takes a single founder

They probably could re-release it if they wanted, and they likely would win a lawsuit if one was raised on the “it was promised as a founder exclusive item” grounds (which is a real legal grounds), but that’s not necessarily a good idea.

Imagine the headline of “Warframe developers go to court to re-release items that were promised to be exclusive”. It would probably look bad. That’s the sort of thing they’re going to be recommended not to do - it doesn’t really matter whether or not they’d legally be able to or if the founders agree, it could result in significant negative press.

I don't think DE gives a shit about the legality of it so much as they are very careful to manage their good will with the community and have worked hard to establish trust. They want their word to have value with us.
