They still don't understand that GaaS games shouldn't be first thought of as GaaS games but as multiplayer online games. The focus should be on making the best damn multiplayer experience you can when it comes to games like this, but execs in the industry will only see "We should make a GaaS that's a space shooty and that will make people want to play it".Industry will learn all the wrong lessons from this and suicide squad.

“I’m not exactly sure who it helps in the industry by not being on Xbox”
yep. I expect the infamous four to be somewhat at the top of sales reports.It's nice to see games that aren't sold at full price be somewhat popular.
You're right. They would probably have less sales if they also put it on Xbox?but.....................................

But they won't actually clone what made this game great.What might happen is suddenly in the next couple years you get tons of Helldivers clones as they follow the trend.

Phil Spencer.
Dunno and doubt they will surpass this.What might happen is suddenly in the next couple years you get tons of Helldivers clones as they follow the trend.
How pathetic instead of making great games he port begs like the typical bot.
You talking about Steam only right?Wouldn't be surprised if this is approaching 5M in sales soon.
People thought this was going to be a minor release for Sony and instead they already got a big GaaS success.
Probably even Sony didn't have big expectations but this proves that the GaaS market is really hard to predict, it's all about the game getting a good word of mouth and becoming viral.
Fun game,much content updates and priced right.People thought this was going to be a minor release for Sony and instead they already got a big GaaS success.

what...? No...getting close to 5M overall with both platforms.You talking about Steam only right?
I would bet the game is much higher than 5M already, closer to 10-12M Total across PS and Steam
That's a bit high this early.You talking about Steam only right?

I got 100 odd friends on steam who are into online only games. Around 30 of them playing helldivers now and most of them got avg 50hrs playtime. Game is a massive hit on steam.Fun game,much content updates and priced right.
I bought 4 steam keys.
Yep. It's impossible to predict what goes viral and what flops like suicide squad and avengers. Avengers i figured since it was a melee game but SS was a shooter similar to Helldivers but bombed worse than avengers or even anthem. None of those games had BAD gameplay, people who bought them like them. It's just as weird as seeing Fortnite and PubG take off.People thought this was going to be a minor release for Sony and instead they already got a big GaaS success.

You're giving him too much credit. It was a few days after launch that Phil made the comments where he tried making it about xbox.Took exactly two minutes to make this about Xbox. That's pretty cool.
Helldivers is a good game. It deserves the success.
I got about 10 who play on Steam and about 20 on PSN.I got 100 odd friends on steam who are into online only games. Around 30 of them playing helldivers now and most of them got avg 50hrs playtime. Game is a massive hit on steam.

lets hope Sony sticks with their decision to gut gaas studios and focus on doing what they do best. Those single player games are far more reliable.
Ehh I like Sony's multiplayer style more than the constant story/single player only stuff.Yep. It's impossible to predict what goes viral and what flops like suicide squad and avengers.

Glad more are joining in to do their part. My gaming time is now mainly going to Rebirth. So pick up my slack!
a showing at E3 and you're good.

Is it safe to pick up? Or are folks just dealing with the launch issues still?
On Pc I was getting a hard crash on missions when it was time to leave on the ship. I refunded because it happened 3 times… I don’t like wasting my time.
It’s not simply random.
Make great games - SP or GaaS. Focus on that first, the sales will come
HD2 took 7 years of development time. It has amazing 3rd person animations, sound design, and the best use of procedural generation I have ever seen. We are at least 5 years from a AAA studio even releasing a game that could theoretically match HD2What might happen is suddenly in the next couple years you get tons of Helldivers clones as they follow the trend.
