      Most games lose something like 80%-90% of their players in the first couple months. Helldivers 2 is still at about 35% of peak. That’s pretty huge. Is it, literally, losing steam? Yes, in a technical sense, you’re right. But all games lose steam. Helldivers 2 is losing it way slower than comparable games, which is much more important imo.

      I play this game exclusively on Linux without issues so the anticheat doesn’t seem that intrusive. Could be my perception of it though.

        Yeah, a true rootkit kernel-level anticheat wouldn’t work on Linux at all (see: Valorant and its anticheat - Vanguard).

      Since the butthurt mods didn’t like it and removed the comment, I’ll summarize it for future readers:

      A wave of downvotes hits every comment critical of Helldivers 2. This whole post and discussion is paid shillery.

        People aren’t being shills, you’re just being a moron. Your comment had nothing to do with the article in question and was nothing more than irrelevant ranting, which is why people were downvoting you.
