The political ideas you can find on Reddit are much more diverse. There is usually at least some pushback against some of the most deranged statements.

If you want to shoot your teammates, you can do that just fine without an aimbot
Does this game need client-side anticheat at all? It's not PvP, so if you're cheating, you just ruin the experience for yourself and maybe your teammates. But as far as I know, there are no rankings and not really any competition.
All console games have DRM that tries to prevent users from copying it or using it on different hardware
I don't like DRM either, but this misses the point about ownership. For example, if a law says your house may not have more than two people living in it, you can still own it, even if you don't like the limitations that it has.
It's incorrect in the sense that the statement implies that there is a kind of ownership distinct from owning a license that is denied to users. But this isn't possible. The only way to own intellectual property (games, books, music) is to have a license to it.
Technically, we've never owned our games.
I don't understand why people make this point. You own the physical media and you own a perpetual license to the game. It's like saying you don't own your car because you have to follow the traffic laws.
More than 300€ per minute?
I'd be interested what people think he should be paid. Based on the downvotes on your comment, people say 200€ is too low? It was in 2009, so inflation adjusted it's 300€. And the article has the complete raw recording, it took him less than a minute.
I like using AntennaPod for podcasts and Spotify for music.
What a weird article. It doesn't say what was agreed and it doesn't say what the voice actors want instead. Voice actor says the deal is "garbage" and the AI company says the deal is "ethical". But what is the actual deal???

The game does of course have a political message, but I think there is a slightly different take that could have merit. The "political" part of the game is to make fun of the interventionist foreign policy of the US. This was a major culture war issue from the 80s to the 2000s, but since the 2010s, the culture wars have shifted towards identity politics. The 'self-proclaimed “anti-woke” gamers' are right in pointing out that Helldivers avoids these topics.
