Warframe CEO Criticizes Publishers for Abandoning Live-Service Games Prematurely

Steve Sinclair argues that publishers should invest more time and resources into live-service titles rather than axing them after initial setbacks.

Sinclair believes publishers view the release period as make-or-break, leading to hasty decisions to drop games.
He cites examples like ANTHEM and Knockout City, which were shut down despite having potential.
Warframe's decade-long success is presented as evidence that live-service games can thrive with continued support.
Recent industry data shows that over half of playtime is spent on live-service games older than six years.
