Shh, you might actually get people believing that satire site. There's more than enough ammunition to use against xbox one without bringing up satire.

I didn't get the season pass and I'm glad. You do make a good point regarding the multitude of other games coming soon especially on other platforms. Defiance wasn't really a competitive product on the PC at all when it launched and it's only becoming less so every day that passes.
I stopped playing shortly after release and am finding better free alternatives out there. Defiance days were numbered when Trion bumbled a significantly long development window releasing a subpar pay to play pseudo mmo right before consoles are going to be receiving free to play blitz and while the PC has already been there for years.
Trion's been plagued by bad business moves lately, Defiance being the latest disaster.
If only Defiance had waited a few extra months to launch, so the PS4 could have laughed at it, with all its free MMOs. Oh, 60 dollars to play that game? And a subscription fee on your Xbox? Here, have Planetside 2, Warframe, DC Universe Online, and many, many more, for free! All at once! Here ya go! Defiance, or all of that?
Warframe is anything but free. Its one of the worst pay to win games I have ever seen. Can you play free? Sure... will you be even remotely competitive? Nope. Planetside 2 is fun if you don't mind respawn runs all the time and base ganking. DC Universe I can't say much about except that its not got any more content than this does. And bare in mind it was a commercial flop before it went F2p and even then, you DO have to buy expansions to access some features. But I play that sometimes when I need a Defiance break.
Why do people feel the need to say "or" .. why not both? Its not like Defiance is a huge monetary investment... especially on a console where you can buy a used disk to play. Now as for the Xbox.. Defiance wasn't the bad investment in that equation. The Xbox was.
I'm playing Warframe already and that game is so great. I've spent a whole $5 and have gotten far more playtime and enjoyment out of it than the $40 I spent on Defiance. Went back to Rift too and there is just so much to do, all entirely free I just can't process how Trion Defiance thinks they can even compete with their other product.
Defiance is easily 2 years too late to the party. Just thinking about playing directx 9 games release on the PC in 2013 is sad.
You know how I know you never played? Warframe isn't a competitive game. It's entirely cooperative. You can literally get every single thing that you can buy with money in-game without spending money.
I don't know who you're trying to fool, but you're a liar.
So I see WhiteCell is back to the forums :(
And you don't know what you are talking about, or apparently understand the term compete... heres a hint, it doesn't always mean PVP.
Rewards in the game are based on performance, and you will not be able to keep up with the players who bought their weapons and premium frames. Sure, you can build the weapons and frames yourself.. if you are lucky enough to get the BPs to drop, and the rare components, and then wait almost a month for it to finish crafting. Of course to get these you need to run certain maps over and over and over and over. Also the game has very few maps.. the way it varies them is by 'locking off' certain areas of the maps making you take specific routes and then smattering some random decorations around. It makes you think its a new map, but play for a few days and actually be observant.. and you will realize its not.
But hey, if you have so much fun with it, then cool for you. You hate Defiance and I enjoy it.. my question though is if Warframe is so leet, why are you back here posting?
You get very very worked up perhaps some chamomile tea or you might laugh because reading what you wrote you could be describing how some people write about Defiance. People are never going to get what a great game it is and there is no point arguing with trolls :(
