Helldivers 2 has been the breakout game of the season and nobody can argue otherwise. The fight to spread managed democracy took off so well that the developers were flabbergasted and had to keep updating their server capabilities to accommodate more and more players.
However, a section of the players, who have been used to the pay-to-win system of other AAA games do not find the fun and fair system of the game enjoyable. They keep demanding more powerful weapons.
And now, one user has taken to Reddit to smash those complaints and put those players wanting to flex their money and joblessness on others to their rightful place.
Helldivers 2’s Fun and Fair Policy Irks Some Fans
The modern gaming industry is riddled with numerous AAA games which are essentially pay-to-win. This is especially true in case multiplayer games that have dedicated PvP modes. Games like EA FC24, COD, and Diablo are major examples of these types of games.
But Helldivers 2 took a completely different approach in their fight to spread managed democracy and kept the game a fun experience for everybody who plays, notwithstanding how much money or time somebody spent on the game.
This has drawn some ire from players whose sole target is to buy outlandish weapons using real-world currency and then flex those on players who are playing a game to unwind and relax. A significant portion of these gamers had been complaining incessantly about the lack of powerful weapons being released and one user seems to have had enough and took to Reddit to rubbish those claims of the developers to doing enough.
The post outlines how the tendency of a section of players to pay huge amounts of money for powerful and meta weapons is leading them to complain about Helldivers 2. They also complimented Arrowhead Game Studios for keeping the game fun and impartial for all players and not favoring those who are looking to spend money on the game.
The user reiterated that these fans who are complaining are a result of the gaming industry failing its players. In an industry where AAA games regularly charge exorbitant sums for providing players with powerful perks and weapons, the simplicity and fairness of Helldivers 2 come as major shocks to them.
The user has also suggested the ones complaining “chill out” and play some different games and let the ones having fun continue doing so.
Despite Some Protests, Fans Firmly Back Arrowhead
Arrowhead Game Studios has been in the news for all the right reasons this year. As Helldivers 2 keeps posting impressive sales figures despite a 4% drop in player count, the game has also been reminding fans what they love about gaming.
The support from a large section of the community goes on to show that the developers are doing something right. In an industry where everybody focuses on making money, Helldivers 2 is firmly dedicated to providing a holistic gaming experience for all its players.
Whether the game eventually turns pay-to-win remains to be seen but if the current trend is anything to go by, that isn’t likely to happen anytime soon.
