"Helldivers 2 Creative Director Advocates for Earning the Right to Monetize Games"
TL;DR
The CEO of Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead emphasized the importance of earning the right to monetize games, discussing the title's in-game transactions, including a rotating cosmetics store and small battle passes. Players can earn virtual currency through gameplay, and the team aimed to avoid a "pay to win" model. Despite some server issues during launch weekend, the game has already gained over 140,000 players, making it PlayStation Studios' most successful launch on Steam.
