The Sausage Factory is an interview-based podcast that lifts the lid on the makers of video games. It is often said by video game developers that the act of making games is not as nearly as interesting as actually playing them. So much so that many even liken it to a sausage factory in that while sausages are great, the act of making them is something no one should ever bear witness to. The Sausage Factory podcast aims to disprove this view by bringing the video game audience to the creators of the titles they love to play by interviewing developers. Split into two halves, the first delves into what makes the developers tick by asking about how they started, what and who inspires them and what games they are currently playing. The second half covers what game they are currently working on and the thought processes behind its development. So, if you really want to hear about a game in full undiluted detail then you have found the right podcast.

The Sausage Factory: 180 – Warframe by Digital Extremes
The traditional view of free-to-play games is that they are more akin to pay-to-function games as they are littered with time gates that cripple the playability of the game for the sake of a few pennies. Warframe doesn't follow this model - it provides rich and engrossing environment set across Earth's solar system that doesn't shove micro-transactions down players' throats. Instead, it just happily plays along and if the players want to buy some extra gear or improvements then they can, if they want. It's very similar to Path of Exile in that it doesn't insult the player base by creating a lesser experience for those who don't pay vs those who do.In this episode of The Sausage Factory, show host Chris ORegan talks to Sheldon Carter, COO of Digital Extremes about the creation of Warframe. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/sausage/TSF_Episode180.mp3
