Helldivers 2 studio CEO says the "vast majority" of people "silently play" the shooter, which means the devs can't just look at Reddit and what streamers are saying for feedback: "This is a challenge for all games"

Helldivers 2's developers at Arrowhead Game Studios have a lot to consider when it comes to maintaining and improving their third-person shooter, and one of those things is making sure they balance their approach beyond simply looking at what streamers and players on Reddit are saying.

In an interaction in the official Helldivers Discord server, Jorjani is asked for thoughts on the level of influence that streamers have on Helldivers 2, with one fan suggesting that content creators have collectively "made so much content for the game" that they now only focus on the explosive, "OP weapons" and think that "everything else is bad." They add that "this game was never made to be played for 4,000 thousand hours" in the first place.
