Johan Pilestedt, creative director of Helldivers 2, emphasizes the importance of "earning the right to monetize" in games and states that players are not forced to buy microtransactions to support the title. The game has recently addressed matchmaking issues with a patch and has become Playstation's biggest Steam launch, surpassing the concurrent user record previously held by God of War reboot.
