or players number go down for every live service game after hitting peak numbers at launch, stop acting like helldivers is a failure or something, it's the opposite. Unbelievable how you can see things so black and white.

Like on twitter when you hear one negative thing and people immediately go, YEAH ITS DEAD

@Michiel1989

Helldivers 2 had great sales and great numbers but the nerfs lack of great updates the paid community moderators spamming fury content then all the sony drama has not made that games future bright.

Who cares about a live service launch overtime that is what matters with helldivers 2 its like the first one all over again but in a different direction.

The first game had all the same content but died do too lack of players and overtime updates

This one same content but more live service elements along with a way way way bigger install base then the nefs anti community etc like i already stated.

The game is not a failure it was a success but over its short time the numbers are going down not up put down the bottle of copium.

You can see each update it peaks up to 20k then dips but recent dips go below 10k right now only 8k online

Sony is not making spank on helldivers 2 mt's

This game never had below 30k but not anymore

Looken

HD2 made its money and profits. For GAAS game needs new content and HD2 just don’t have that. Most GAAS studios have 2 teams one that’s working on the main game and another working on new content. Once main game is done majority of them are moved over to content side. But that’s where games which have successful launches fail long term. The same team that made the core game has to move on to make new content while also updating/patching the game. Work flow is really slow

As far as concord Sony deserves all the blame and hopefully this is a learning lesson. GAAS is a huge risk that could sometimes have even bigger benefits but most times it’s failure

For every success story there are 50 failures

Right there with you on people complaining. I feel like I'm legit the only one who doesn't feel that every "nerf" has ruined the game. I'm level 90 still playing at level 7 and completing missions about 85% of the time. I was trading out weapons just for the sake of using them all, and while some are better than others. They all have a way they can be leveraged. Only recently did I start seeing people bring in Sentry's regularly. Which can be game changers.
