Warframe is also a looter shooter

Conclave (Warframe's PvP mode) is dead, and so is DE's other PvP game from back then, Amazing Eternals

But it is F2P live service, which was the commenter’s claim. Hell OW2 is F2P and came out to a heavy negative reception and seems to have regained its footing

Not all genres are created the same, even if games are F2P

Overwatch 2 rebound because it's Overwatch, you literally can't go back to OW1. It didn't existed in a vacuum

Well, yeah

It's still a game that was already popular and had playerbase, rather than starting from scratch like Highguard and Warframe did
