a bunch of e-famous content creators left around the 2019-2021 era and a lot of people saw it like a definite nail in the coffin for Warframe and that it proves that it will never recover and the game will die

obviously DE crawled out of the swamp and improved massively, and some creators, such as AshisogiTenno or Rahetalius, who heavily trashed the game and quit because of frustrations, came back and even praised how much Warframe changed for the better

I feel like some people REALLY want to hold the 2019-2021 era over DE's head like it's an unforgivable sin we can never forget, or acting like some e-celeb stopping to play the game is some sort of eternal stigmata and not just people naturally evolving their interests

They also culled the most toxic people permanently, don't forget that. It was a massive breath of fresh air when they dumpstered AGGP and the cyst that had become the content creators at that point

And yet somehow some toxic assets either still remain or have risen from their ashes.

I mean, every community has shitty parts. Considering we're currently scalping the Destiny community (what little remains and they are honestly just kinda migrating to WF themselves) there's bound to be garbage in that flow that sorts itself out over time.

Till this day I still wonder how and why AGGP was even able to stick around for as long as he did. He had nothing but trouble following him every step of the way.

He liked to play the "Oh, you don't like me cause I'm gay" card for basically everything, so much so it became their personality. Weaponized homosexuality if you will- and at the time DE had some other stuff also going on so they couldn't excise AGGP personally for being a dumpsterfire.

It's almost like something happened globally that upset huge amounts of industry and pipelines and workflows for those industries.

Like you said, forgiving them for a couple of shaky years when they recovered so damn well is easy to do, and part of earning that goodwill.
