World of Warcraft housing expert recreates The Burning Crusade’s iconic login screen on their in-game PC

In World of Warcraft, player housing has led to creative designs, including a decorative version of the Dark Portal gifted to players after the Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary. A notable creation by Reddit user 'Idibegajranolegaj' features a miniature recreation of the Burning Crusade loading screen on a tiny PC, complete with a monitor, neon purple tower, desk lamp, hand-crafted keyboard, and a cozy gaming chair. The interactive setup allows players to engage with UI buttons on the monitor. The original concept was intended as a Windows XP wallpaper, but the arrival of the portal inspired this transformation.

Warframe community director says ‘nothing in our games will be AI-generated, ever’

Digital Extremes, the studio behind Warframe and Soulframe, opposes the use of AI in game development. Community Director Megan Everett stated that the company is "very non-AI" and emphasized that all content in their games will be created by humans. She expressed frustration with AI-generated content, stating that it causes uncertainty about the authenticity of art. Despite skepticism towards AI in the industry, some developers are still using AI, as seen with Arc Raiders, which initially utilized AI voice acting but is now shifting to handcrafted assets. A survey indicated that 90% of developers want clearer AI disclosures on platforms like Steam, while some games have included AI "placeholders" in final releases. This has led to concerns among creators about the influence of AI on their work.

Xalavier Nelson Jr., founder and creative director of Strange Scaffold, began his gaming journey on consoles and was influenced by watching his father play PC games like Battlefield 2 and Age of Empires.

“We’ll keep making Warframe if there’s one player count,” Digital Extremes’ Megan Everett asserts. “I don’t care what SteamDB says”

The gaming industry has seen a shift in how success is measured, particularly focusing on initial player counts since the launch of games like Marathon and Highguard in 2026. Warframe, which launched in 2024 with a peak player count of 22,000, has grown to reach 175,546 players on PC after the release of The Old Peace in December 2025. Community director Megan Everett noted that the game has achieved new internal records despite not hitting its all-time high. Creative director Rebecca Ford humorously suggested a new release titled 'Player Count' to address the ongoing debate about player metrics. She highlighted the competitive landscape, noting that Warframe launched amidst 435 titles, compared to 20,014 games released in the same year today. Everett emphasized the importance of ongoing growth and player engagement over mere numbers, stating that a poor launch does not equate to a dead game. The success of The Old Peace was attributed to the introduction of content skips, which allowed players to bypass extensive story content. The team is committed to community engagement and innovation, with new characters and mechanics being introduced to keep the game fresh.

Warframe’s Shadowgrapher update is out now, and Digital Extremes isn’t scared of your penis drawings

Players navigate an abandoned spaceship in the Chains of Harrow questline in Warframe, experiencing a horror-themed update called Shadowgrapher. The update features a new game mode, Follie's Hunt, where players are stalked by Follie, an ink blot-inspired Warframe, in the eerie Vesper relay. The gameplay is slower and more strategic, contrasting with Warframe's typical fast-paced action, and emphasizes coordination to avoid being caught by Follie. Follie's Shadowgraph ability allows players to summon customizable items, with safeguards in place to manage potential misuse. The Shadowgrapher update also introduces new cosmetics for Gauss and Grendel.
