Is HELLDIVERS 2 dying?

[侍Kage]

Everyone started to leave negative reviews and game's score is rapidly dropping. Is helldivers 2 dying? Is the game become huge flop? What happened, share your thoughts.

nah. Most of us will stay. The game'll take a hit but it'll stay afloat

[Plagen]

No, it isn't. Some people are angy they have to link a PSN account even though the game states that it is Required and has been from the start. So they're screaming into the void and leaving negative reviews.

[VahidSlayerOfAll]

make sure when leaving a review its actually intelligible or they will get all of the negative ones removed

[Rethias]

Yes. 90% negative reviews since the change.

Dead game. AH killed their own game to appease Sony.

Nope. Just more people whining because... I guess they enjoy whining.

Dying? No.
Being killed? Seems like.

[Aethrys]

Helldivers never die, smh.

[Snake0384]

Nah it's over dude. The game will be completely dead and forgotten before the end of the year.

[Aradner]

It is unlikely to die, but it will suffer. I don't remember something like this happening ever, so it's hard to estimate the exact damages, but it is very unlikely it will outright die on the spot. Its especially bad for them, since a lot of drama like this has a % of people that simply don't care about anything outside the actual game, but this change will hit even them. It can end up brutal for the game

I am not creating another PSN account. I was affected by the hack in 2011. Someone stole 400 dollars from my bank account, thankfully my bank thought it was really odd that I pulled money out at an ATM in Ireland.

you mean to suck sony's big old ice cream rod?!

[Touch Me]

Not dead but it definitely lost a good chunk of players due to the recent news it looks like.

Way to shoot yourself in the foot for generating revenue. One of the dumbest decisions. Like I bought the game knowing PSN was required, but found out it was skippable. So by definition it was NOT required. I will still play but the ball was dropped hard and whoever made the decision should be demoted, have a severe pay cut, or terminated outright.

AH got greedy and said 'YESSA MASSA' to Sony.

I hate Sony more than I love democracy

[Strider]

I was about to join but kernel level anti - cheat stopped me and now the PSN link sealed the deal. I won't bend the knee.
The game will not die - not tomorrow, not next week or next month. It will take a bit of a hit but like most online driven games that go trough their life cycle of initial hype, then few dumb decision, then some loosing interest, it will retain about 100k in peak hours and stable 40-50k for the foreseeable future.
