"Helldivers 2 CEO Emphasizes Full Experience Over Live-Service Trends"

Helldivers 2 players are expressing concerns about the game potentially adopting live-service trends and collaborating with other franchises, fearing it may deviate from its original premise. Some players are urging the developers at Arrowhead not to turn the game into a "collab skin simulator" and to maintain its unique identity. While the game's unexpected popularity has led to fears of it falling into familiar live-service pitfalls, the potential impact of these concerns on the developers' decisions remains to be seen.
