MODERATORS
Helldivers is a live-service lootshooter. It's as far away from art as you can get. It being "satire" is also a completely ridiculous statement, considering by the sheer nature of it being a live-service game, it's supposed to be as addictive and "satisfying" as possible. You can't make a satire of militarism and facism if your games entire "loop" revolves around mindless wave-shooting until you unlock the next "sick-ass gun".
Genuinely has some of if not the least shitty monetization the genre has to offer. Not even 60 bucks original price, you can earn the warbond "battle pass" analogues by just running around low difficulty missions to find little piles of the paid-for currency. Sweaty whales are complaining that they run out of stuff to grind for/flex with and ceo is just like "play another game till we have more content 🤷"
