Helldivers: a game where the community has to coordinate itself to achieve victory

I dare say folks were prepared for this

It was backlash or refunds. There was no middle ground. With a game where players are actively discouraged from diplomacy or reason, this was the expected outcome.

for now…

these clowns did not change, they will come back.

I wouldn’t call this a complete success unless they rolled back the country restrictions in steam too.
