When Helldivers 2 closes down you can't play it anymore, it's still part of the problem and not the solution, let people host servers or do it p2p.

Arrowhead still supporting HD1 so I don't see that being an issue for at least 8-10 years.
HD1 is playable offline. No reason the second game shouldn't be either
The reason is the cash shop of course. I know, it's cheap and fair compared to every other live services, but it still limits your play to be online only.
We can only hope the game does an Avengers when it closes down and patches offline play, but we can't trust these companies.
I've already given up on online games. I don't enjoy them like i use too a few years back and endlessly grinding doesn't come close to the satisfaction of actually finishing a game. My friend streamed some of this to convince me to get it, the gameplay looked bland and he clipped through the map and had to start the mission again. I think ill stick to finishing my backlog of single player games.
No. This is not a "creative" way to nudge us towards the store. Definitely not. It's just the type of monetization every gamer has been secretly yearning for, right?
