As Windows bug stalls global flights and hospitals with blue screen of death, Warframe dev thinks the timing for “our Y2K-themed demo is a little too on the nose"

A Warframe character snarls in front of a digital clock.

A bug impacting systems running both Windows and CrowdStrike security software is causing what one expert guessed could be "the largest IT outage in history," grounding flights and stopping trains globally with the portentous blue screen of death, unintentionally making a new Warframe demo feel poorly, or perhaps perfectly, timed.

"IT team trying to protect the Warframe TennoCon demo PCs from a global blue screen of death panic the day before we show our Y2K-themed demo is a little too on the nose, thanks," creative director Rebecca Ford wrote on X.
