Helldivers 2 dev admits “there’s been a disconnect” between Arrowhead and “what players want”: “We want to make the game more fun”

A Helldivers 2 dev has admitted that “there’s been a disconnect” between players and developers recently, but that making the game “more fun” is the studio’s core focus.

In messages on Discord, community manager Thomas ‘Twinbeard’ Petersson spoke about the game’s 60-day action plan, saying that “we need to view this as an important first step to us getting back to being aligned with what players want. There’s been a disconnect there.” Petersson notes that “we can’t and won’t be able to and shouldn’t even please all,” but says that even if the game ends up feeling easy once Arrowhead has made its changes, “it should be easier to make it more difficult AND fun.”
