This will make sure you don't suggest to the KDz
That he should grow greens instead of crushing on MCs

Why do the devs have to be located in Sweden making the release time 3AM for me?

I think they already kinda do. There are quite a lot of bad reviews.

It'll survive it though, since apparently the game is fun so they just need to fix some things

I bought it, since I'm an idiot. Downloading now

Yeah really loving weird choice. And seems to be the cause of a lot of the technical issues people are having. Seems like the kind of game that really should launch with Easy Anti Cheat, some business idiot decided they wanted to save money most likely.

This happens a lot with anticipated games where if it's got a day 1 bug that effects a lot of people it gets a mini review bomb and then when they fix it with a patch hours or a few days later it usually swings back positive.

Like if you look the negative Steam reviews it's mostly people talking about not being able to connect or the game crashes. And then there is the all anti-cheat is bad crowd.

I think it’s a case where they just didn’t expect that it even could explode like this. Their previous games have always been decently successful, but only within their particular niche. Adding third-person shooting to the Helldivers formula put them in an entirely different arena, though, one far bigger than they could have anticipated, so even decently successful would have been a shock, let alone the runaway popularity they’re seeing now.

Me and a few friends where looking forward to this game because we played the original Helldivers quite a bit but I agree I don't think anyone could have really predicted it would blow up this much.

The move from top down to 3rd person really changes the feel of the game and I think it draws in a much larger pool from the shooter crowd. Also the peak number of players tripled from launch weekend to this weekend which really speaks to this game catching fire via streamers and word of mouth.
