Time to take a stand against this nefarious review bombing.

[Kirshak]

Today, I finally decided to "vote" by leaving a positive review for Helldivers 2, something I should have done a long time ago. Why now? Because of the current wave of review bombing have nothing to do with the game's quality. It's driven by blind political zealotry from a specific group of players from a specific country, for one of the most pathetic and disingenuous reasons I’ve seen.

We know exactly who they are, yet we are discouraged from naming them in the name of so-called "political correctness" that often leads to censorship and punishment, a modern plague to our society if I'm being honest. I understand that these players may have been raised from birth with the belief that it is their duty to always support the Party, but this blind and zealous obedience is damaging everyone playing Helldivers2, which is set in a fictional, unified Earth. There are no separate countries, no separate flags, no competing political parties. There is only one united

Super Earth

, one nation, and one goal:

the survival of humanity.

Yet these players refuse to understand this when playing Helldivers2.

ArrowHead has listened to us in the past when we voiced our discontent through our reviews. Now it's time for us to show that we care too, if you haven't voted yet, I encourage you to leave a positive review and support our beloved studio in bringing us more stratagems to defend Mankind from the Squids and the other threats lurking in the galaxy.

i changed my positive to negative review since my strategems wont work

Mines been positive since the SNOY incident. No reason to flip now. I'm very happy with how things are now. Listening to feedback and keeping monetization reasonable, unlike 343...

They're aware of the issue and are working on an emergency fix. It's bad form to punish them for something so small especially with how most Devs are in the gaming industry. Monetization hell holes, bugs that never get fixed, refusing to listen to feedback no matter what, banning players for speech/ criticizing the game, etc.

Mine do, just slow down a tick my dude

Oh really?
Good for you.

Mine have stay neg for like a year already.
All their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up at launch to the nerf hell I had to go through for months doesn't go away just because they fix some of it.

And it was a right choice since AH keep ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up every patch anyway.
It would be bothersome to keep going back and forth with their constant "we are so back" and "we are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥" cycle.

when they start releasing quality warbonds and stop breaking major features I'll consider leaving a positive review but in the meantime seeing as stratagems don't work consistently, squid units clip through walls, and by all accounts the DSS is killing more players than ever before despite using a stratagem that is normally considerably less friendly fire prone than it's old 380mm shells I'm going to abstain on this occasion. if the accounts from China are true and their was a translation ♥♥♥♥ up maybe the negative reviews will make them double check their translation before sending it out next time.

complaining about politics to push politics and make politically motivated rants and rating for a game.
every accusation an admission.
