Never heard of it. That could be a part of the reason.

Sony did a good job of killing PC players tolerance of their bullshit with the helldiver controversy.

Isn't that one of the most popular games right now on PC?

[–] Davidchan@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Back in mar-may it was. Then it was getting 300k users daily with 450k peak players. Now it gets under 30k daily users and ranked 45 on daily players according to steamdb

[–] Paranomaly@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I mean, 30k daily users and 45th most popular on Steam isn't something to sneeze at. There was going to be a drop regardless so staying that popular is pretty good.

[–] Kroxx@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

You are right that 45 is still pretty decent all things considered. My mentality on it is: if they didn't piss off the player base with broken update after broken update AND didn't have the PSN fiasco AND didn't constantly nerf every decent weapon, then the player would have naturally declined but it wouldn't have been near as fast and I think they could have landed in a top 15-30 spot instead.

Of course no one actually knows but all of my group of 8ish people playing stopped a month after we bought the game for one of the above reasons.

Ah. I never played it or even looked at it. My new love right now is Disco Elysium.

Sony force PlayStation accounts for Helldivers. And it dropped support for like 130 other countries. So the player base tanked. It wasn't people leaving. It was people soft locked out of the game.
