Games should "earn the right to monetise", says Helldivers 2 director


Helldivers 2 creative director and Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt believes games should "earn the right to monetise", ad…

The comments come in an X/Twitter thread in which Pilestedt responded to a tweet in which a player pointed out that super credits can be earned just by "playing the damn game". However, director Mikael Eriksson did admit earlier on the game's Discord channel that "a full matchmaking solution is in works" but may take "a few more days" to test, so players may still experience some issues until a more permanent solution is rolled out across both platforms. Until this point, Sony Santa Monica's God of War reboot held the record with 73,529 simultaneous users, which is less than half of Helldiver 2's current peak of 155,926.
