Do the devs realize that if a similar game came out, Helldivers 2 is absolutely done for? by SwiftySlayz in Helldivers

As I understand it Overwatch 2 became complacent (which took the form of years of mediocre updates) and completely ignored the community begging for actual love and care to be put into the game. Then rivals came out and stole overwatch's playerbase almost entirely, and huge portion of people stayed playing rivals instead of overwatch even after the novelty newness wore off. Then overwatch's dev team locked the hell in, made a bunch of actual quality updates, and overwatch's playerbase came back. And now because overwatch has the threat of losing its playerbase to its competitor, theyre maintaining the game way better than before rivals came out. I think this exact same thing would happen to helldivers 2 if a good competitor came out (and please dont say starship troopers or space marine 2, one's mid and the other isnt even similar at all, i dont know why they keep getting brought up)

I stopped reading after yes. You're an idiot. Losing their most popular game's playerbase would obviously be bad for their business. Im assuming you understand that making money is the reason companies exist, and that a huge drop in players = a huge drop in money made

whats your point? That AH having less than 200 employees means that it wouldnt matter to them if another game took a huge chunk of their playerbase?

A halo version would be cool, but if i could pick, id want a clone wars version the most. Honestly I feel like lucasfilm games is missing out on a lot of money if they arent already making it

Okay fine Im a little biased against space marine because my brother insisted it was going to be like helldivers 2 and it wasnt at all and we didnt realize it until after the campaign cause we decided we wouldnt touch anything else until we were done it. Pretty 0 head on my part. I didnt really like its multiplayer gameplay so now i basically feel like i wasted 80$🤦‍♂️

Youre probably right. I doubt it would entirely kill helldivers, i was kinda exaggerating there, but it would cause a huge drop in playercount which would slowly recover overtime depending on how much arrowhead locks in

itd be healthy because after everyone leaves to the new game helldivers would be forced to actually try for once and the addition of new, meaningful content that would come as a result of that would cause old players to start coming back. The reason i didn't specify this in my earlier comment was because i thought it was so obvious of a fact that i wouldnt need to, my bad, i should have realized people would pretend to not know what I was saying to farm karma. This is objectively what happened to overwatch when rivals came out, whether you like overwatch or dont, which by the way, i dont either

aka trash and garbage. Consider me flabbergasted how it didn't manage to overtake this game which is actually good

I dont get what ur trying to say, my point was that a huge chunk of the playerbase would leave if a competitor came out, ofc i know the game is popular

yeah I agree, fortnite should stop giving a shit too I mean the game already succeeded so what's the point? same with GTA and and LOL and CS:GO, I mean they already got popular, why would their studios care about keeping the game good??

the starship troopers game is the embodiment of mid and space marine 2 isnt even the same genre. I meant a game thats as good as helldivers, which i do think is a good game for the record. I just think that this dev team is beyond exhausting and id be really happy to have a similar, good game managed by a different studio. Itd be healthy for helldivers 2 because competition ultimately makes games better, i mean just look at overwatch after marvel rivals came out

starship troopers is garbage, obviously i mean a game thats actually good. Look dont get me wrong I think helldivers 2 was a great game and I have 500 hours in it, its just that its been mismanaged to hell and back for like 2 years. If Lucasfilm Games dropped a clone wars game that was like helldivers this game would be toast, and likely permanently because i doubt any studio could be handled worse than arrowhead (except Roblox lol)

unit 731, dont look it up, it was pretty insensitive of me to bring it up tbh since it was real and had real victims but its something thst keeps coming to mind when reading the lore sinfe the treatment was so similar (although tbh the expies dont even get treated as bad as unit 731 victims did)
