This is clearly terminid propaganda and I will be reporting all helldivers who do not reccomend to the ministry of truth!

But being serious, the game is amazing, solo, with randoms (a patch released today that fixed matchmaking with randoms) or with friends but the servers make it unplayable if you can only play at peak times, if you are outside of the USA (like me) you can check https://steamdb.info and chances are, if it is anytime from 12-17:30 UTC, the queue is only about a minute and the player count will be at a low point.

But, even the CEO of arrowhead, the developers, are telling people to not buy the game.

If they haven't removed the atrocious GameGuard anticheat, then I won't be buying it. They could have picked another AC and they decided to pick one of the worst ones.

I mean, he's not telling people to not buy the game. He just said if you're strapped for cash it won't hurt to wait.

Nah, he's saying they don't have the capacity to support all the players, so anyone who could better use that money somewhere else should just wait, since they won't have a good time right now anyway.

Surprisingly based.
