Helldivers 2, PlayStation’s biggest PC launch, faces server issues despite its success.
Arrowhead CEO praises the game’s co-op fun, aiming to avoid live-service pitfalls.
"’You have to earn the right to monetize’—I truly believe that.” says CEO Johan Pilestedt.
“If people want to support this title they have an option, but we are never forcing anyone to do so."
Supercredits, earned in-game or via $10 Warbond, offer a fair monetization approach.
Helldivers 2 hopes avoids FOMO with non-retiring Warbonds, focusing on fair play and choice.
