If you are quite active on social media sites nowadays or just actively follow video game news from various sources, then it seems impossible for you not to have heard the name Helldivers 2 at this time. This game, which has even succeeded in pushing back the popularity of the film Starship Troopers, has indeed grown into a phenomenon in itself, especially with the large number of content creators who are diving into its cooperative multiplayer which is fun and chaotic at the same time. But unfortunately, as if suffering from its success, Helldivers 2 is still hit by serious server problems. A problem that even made the big boss “not have the heart” to just recommend it.
Responding to the statement of one fan on Twitter who admitted that he was short of money but was very tempted by Helldivers 2, CEO of Arrowhead aka dev. Helldivers 2 – Johan Pilestedt actually came with a warm response which was quite surprising. He actually recommends gamers not to spend their limited money at this time and wait until they succeed in solving the server problem later. He doesn't want to end up heartbroken when he sees the last money the gamer spent ends up in more action queuing to enter the server than playing. Pilestedt admitted that he knew that as CEO, he really wanted to see his game sell a lot and be profitable.
If you have no cash, get it later. While we made a really fun game it’s worth waiting until the servers can support the capacity.
I mean, as a CEO I of course want the game to be as profitable as possible, but if you spent yr last $ and got stuck in server queues I’d be 💔

Arrowhead itself has just increased its server capacity to 450,000 users after annoying queue problems at the end of last week. How about you? Have you tried this game?
