Honestly, every minute I've spent in this game from the beginning has been great, the variety, the weapons, the time spent with friends even though I'm so busy. Spending time with other dads who don't have time for PvP and enjoying a good team challenge. Honestly the drop in feature is amazing.

I have no discredit against the developers, they are brilliant and have done nothing short of achieving a masterpiece. They deserve bonuses and recognition and nothing short of a good long break.

But with this Sony debacle we know how this game is played
The developers not the publisher will be punished for Sonys absolutely travesty of management. Why? Becuase they control the developer, so they can punish them for their mistakes. Arrowhead developers will wilose bonuses, future projects will be marred, careers will be tarnished. Why? Becuase publishers are greedy.

It was so much fun, reading the missions, seeing the hype on all the major orders, the suspension of disbelief was beautiful. But after all this, I see the major orders, I just sit and cringe now. It's not fun anymore, there's no game that's free of that grip of rutherless extraction. A game that makes fun of rampant authoritarianism, watching it be run by people who are at best callous and mindless, at worst greedy and willing to steal money from those who cannot fight back. Only becuase Valve has a backbone was this resolved. None of your protests mean anything without companies like Valve and that makes me sad.

There's no irony anymore, it's not fun anymore. Sure I'll play here and there, but it's only because I want to spend time with friends, not because I care about whatever this was meant to be. These things can be beautiful, but when you wake up and see whoreall controls what you do, you realise those servers are going to turn off one day, and Helldivers will be no more. It won't be alive because they care, it will die because you aren't paying enough.
