This aspect of gaming really annoys me. I’m old enough to have played games for months or years because I just enjoyed playing the game. This notion of unlocking shit, seasons, cosmetics etc, whilst fun to be rewarded for, should be a minor reason for playing a game. Once I’ve unlocked everything in Helldivers I’m likely to continue playing regardless because I find it fun - to the point where I’m not sure exactly what everyone is complaining about. So they unbalanced a weapon to make it a shadow of its former self, just use something else you sook. The tiny attention span of people these days does my head in.
I recall they accidentally went live with them and they appeared on everyone’s maps for [some time less than an hour, I don’t remember]. They then abruptly disappeared.
