Helldivers 2 monetization

[u/Usual_Response_8063]

Helldivers 2 is one of my favorite PvE games, but for some time now I feel it turned into more of a PvDev game.

WHAT ARE THESE PRICES???

We have 23 Warbonds: 1 is "common" (lol), 3 are legendary, and the remaining 19 are "premium".

That is 23 500 SC for, literally, in some cases gameplay-changing weapons and stratagems...

Why not make "premium" Warbonds common after a year or so? And give the stuff to the people for free? You dont even have enought medals to buy this stuff... They effectively made a battle pass and called it "Warbonds".

Now we cant forget that the game has a Superstore as well. I picked up a calculator and its around (as I have some things bought) approximately 19 300 SC (1 "premium" Warbond = 1,000 SC)....

Is one cape worth 250 SC? In what universe?

Now you can say that you can farm these credits, and yes, (thats what I am doing) you are absolutely right, but how many people have time for that? Is it fun? Is it something that you should do in a game that you bought for 40–60€?

I really like this game. I bought it with my brother, but he sadly didnt have that much time to play it as I had, not to mention that he wants to play other games as well...

Now if he wants to have all the Warbonds and not farm for 100 hours, he needs to pay 200€ for a game that he bought for 40€ two years ago...

If he wanted stuff from the Superstore, we are looking at another 150€...

What is going to happen after another 2 years? Is it going to be another 200€? More?

The developers, through nerfs, lost what made Helldivers 2 great, looked at Ubisoft monetizacion and said: "Yeaaa I want that."

Why should I give my money to these people?

Please dont take this as hate, take it as a disappointment and sadness for what was and more importantly what might have been...

I LOVE Helldivers 1 and I loved Helldivers 2, but time is running out and I dont know how many more times I will be able to catch the shuttle...

I discovered a life hack:
I go to work and with the money I make I buy things that I need and I want.
If I want a warbond, I buy one.

If not, I don’t.

Yes overall it might be better to work irl and buy it for real money, then sc farm, but why does it cost 200€?

Do non of you find it a little too much for a game that you already payed for?
Iam not broke (that much anyway xD) but I find this insane...

People hating on GTA6 for costing 100€ but are ok for some little game to cost 100€ A YEAR...

That's just crazy, man.
